Frank the Funkasaurus Rex is back in the Black Keys latest unofficial (yet pretty much official) video. This one is for "Next Girl" . If you missed Frank's work, he was also the star of the video for "Tighten Up" and I'm assuming he's the unoffical yet pretty much official mascot of the new album Brothers.
Yes Frank is a puppet, and yes this video is more advertising than being video artistic. And yes there are comical words validating that this in an advertisment on the bottom if you can get past the bikini clad women. I gotta tell ya though, for being an ad man, Frank is awesome. I can see him getting his own spinoff show. Or at least be in a reality show where he can get drunk, rowdy and fight with all his little ad character roomates... The Capital One Viking, the Aflac Duck, the Travelocity Gnome, The Burger King King, and the Geico Gecko and Caveman and Voyeur Cash. It's Gold Jerry. Pure Gold!
Ok at the very least a giant inflatable version of Frank should appear on stage and accompany this song with bikini girls dancing around them... a spectacle to rival the Stonehenge moment in Spinal Tap. Brothers is out on May 18th. That is all.
Franks first big hit:
