Dog Days are Over

It's been a long, hot summer, and finally... the cooler weather is here. It's a good time to listen and watch this funky, spiritual song by Florence and the Machine called Dog Days are Over.  (click!) Throughout the video, which is set in a whitewashed room, singer Florence Welch is wearing full body white makeup and various costumes. She sings along with a series of go-go dangers, tribal looking drummers, and a gospel choir. The scenes are like pagan rituals, and this unusual song slowly builds to a visual crescendo. We should all dance like this when the dog days of summer are over.
