Synopsis
Fair Ohs turn a superhero day off into a bizarre domestic spectacle. A portly Batman spends much of the video eating, drinking margaritas, and generally enjoying an indulgent break from crime-fighting, while Robin cooks eggs, bounces on a trampoline, and joins in the chaos. Presented with the exaggerated energy of an old television variety or game show, the video replaces conventional band performance with deadpan physical comedy, matching the song's bright, playful, and slightly psychedelic mood.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video appeared in spring 2011, ahead of Fair Ohs' debut album, also titled "Everything Is Dancing."
- Its superhero premise is deliberately undignified: Batman and Robin are shown less as heroic crime fighters than as overfed men taking an extended holiday from responsibility.
- Food is central to the video's visual joke. Contemporary coverage specifically noted Batman's heavy eating and margarita drinking, while Robin is seen preparing eggs.
- The production was presented online through Vimeo, fitting the DIY context surrounding Fair Ohs and their Honey High label.
- "Everything Is Dancing" was released in the United Kingdom through Honey High in July 2011 and in the United States through Lefse Records later that month.
- Fair Ohs had previously been known as Big Fucking Deal before settling on the Fair Ohs name.
