Hey a guy can dream, can’t they, right?
Anyway, found this cool video of the same song posted about. The song is used in a music video for Joy Batchelor and John Halas’ 1954 animated movie of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Since we are living in Orwellian times, hey why not. Without further adieu, Rage’s Killing In the Name of

that’s weird! haha!
they should have edited it to fit the music a little at least. although at least when the action gets heavy in the middle, the music picks up at about the right time.
I was thinking the same thing, if it wasn’t for the middle part, I wouldn’t have put it up. The ending of the vid fit just right with the end of the song.
Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!
I do like how the pissed-off animal posse synchs with the end of the song, too. I think the editor tried too hard to compress the gist of Animal Farm’s plot progression into the time allotted for the song. But by cutting and rearranging, it could have done both without following it linearly.
But it was still fun to watch.
Great song - but hadn’t seen the AF video with it before. Yeah, editing could’ve been better, but I agree with Sylvia, still fun to watch (yet depressing at the same time).
Hope you’re able to see the Rage reunion. Cracked me up to see Willie in the mix:
Arcade Fire, Interpol, Willie Nelson, the Roots, Manu Chao, the Decemberists, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, Crowded House, Air, Tiësto and Kings of Leon.
