Good vs. bad

No, this isn't about some epic fight between God and Satan. This is about music because it's Friday dammit. And being I'm thinking tody about good vs. bad, I thought I'd bring up a song I was recently turned on to. It's by a St. Louis, Missouri band named Ludo. The only song I've heard is entitled "Love Me Dead". It has catchy lyrics and a great melody. I'd almost call the whole damn thing infectious.

Then my world was turned upside down. What happened, you ask?

I saw the video.

Yes, sometimes things just don't translate well to a visual medium. I don't know what to make of it. Was it done as a joke? Was the video meant to be cheesy as all hell? Is this just another case of the art of the music video becoming a thing of the past? Draw your own conclusions and let me know what songs you loved until you saw the music video. Was the band visually unappealing? Was it just a crappy video?
