It's been a rough week, so I'm in dire need of something to pick my spirits up. And what could be better than a stunningly inscrutable, million-dollar video that somehow manages to mash Haitian hip-hop star Wyclef Jean with songwriting god Paul Simon in the hyperviolent world of the video game Burnout Paradise? I have no idea how this video was made, what it means, what is happening in the video, but bottom line is I love it! How did this thing come out in 2008 and I just found it by accident on the Tubes of You?

This isn't the first time Wyclef has produced a strangely surreal, sardonic video with all his money. My second favorite Wyclef video is "Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)". The hook is so good in this song that I find myself listening over and over. The video's a bit silly, but a hell of a lot of fun. Dear God they need to make a Hollywood movie like this! Oh wait, they did!  Can we vote for Wyclef to be the next James Bond?
