Synopsis
A frantic animated chase unfolds in a bizarre horror-cartoon world. Monster-like figures race customized cars through a brightly colored landscape, moving with the same reckless energy as the song's pounding electro-punk beat. Their pursuit takes them past a towering woman in fishnet stockings, whose legs become part of the surreal obstacle course. The video favors speed, repetition, exaggerated expressions and deliberately crude visual gags over a conventional narrative, turning the song's insistent invitation into a chaotic, cartoonish spectacle.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video is entirely animated, an unusual choice for a band whose live identity centered on sweaty, high-energy performance.
- The official video was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel on August 22, 2007, making it an early example of a music video promoted directly through the platform.
- "Let's Make Out" features lead vocals from Sebastien Grainger of Death from Above 1979. His abrasive delivery helps push the track toward punk rather than straightforward club music.
- The song appeared on the band's debut album, "You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into," which was recorded in 2006 and 2007 and released in 2008.
- The single was issued in several forms, including radio, extended and extended dub versions. The video's repetitive visual approach mirrors that club-oriented design, emphasizing the hook and momentum more than a detailed storyline.
- The track became one of the band's signature early songs and was included among their major music videos from the 2007-08 breakout period.
