Sometimes you’ll see a music video that memorable. But then sometimes you’ll watch a video that makes you say, “Wait, what the fuck did I just watch? No seriously dog, what the fuck was that shit?”. Ladies & gentlemen, Duck Sauce‘s new music video for “Big Bad Wolf” is all of the above. Rolling Stone got Duck Sauce, the duo comprised of A-Trak & DJ Armand Van Helden, to explain the thoughts behind the visuals:
“Big Bad Wolf” “is pretty simple, and it can mean anything, really, so we wanted the video to have its own narrative,” says A-Trak, one-half of the dance duo Duck Sauce, along with DJ Armand Van Helden. “Remember when dance music videos used to actually be creative? Like when you think back to Aphex Twin, Fatboy Slim and Daft Punk… I don’t know why the genre’s videos became so generic in recent years.
“When Keith [Schoffield] came up with this idea of ‘crotchfaces,’ we just thought it was hilarious,” A-Trak continues. “He started coming up with all these gags and describing the characters living in this sort of parallel world, and we were sold. He wasn’t sure if we’d be down to play the leads, but our take on this was, if we’re going to do this, we need to go all the way. So we played the dickheads, essentially.”
No more words, just watch.
