Synopsis

The video places The Fashion in a stark, stylized world of dark backdrops, exaggerated poses, and crime-film imagery. A sharply dressed central figure appears caught up in a chaotic scheme involving money, danger, and escape, while the band performs amid the action. The playful presentation keeps the story deliberately surreal rather than fully explained, matching the song's nervous energy and its repeated urge to take the money and run. The result is a compact, fashion-conscious take on a heist narrative.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Solo Impala (Take the Money and Run)" was the lead single from The Fashion's self-titled second album, first released in Denmark in 2007 before receiving European and North American editions in 2008.
  • The video debuted on MTV in the winter of 2007 and was later selected for an official screening at the 2008 SXSW Film Festival.
  • The SXSW archive listed the clip in its Music Videos program, placing it alongside videos by artists including Blonde Redhead, The Go! Team, and The Duke Spirit.
  • The Fashion came from Copenhagen, Denmark, although the band's energetic blend of indie rock, post-punk, new wave, and dance-punk was aimed at an international audience.
  • The song later received a remix by RAC, which appeared on the 2008 EP "Vampires With Goldteeth."
