Music Video of the Day: Candy by The Killer Barbies (2002, directed by Oliver Sommer)


Today’s music video of the day comes from the Spanish punk rock group, The Killer Barbies.  Silvia Superstar buys a comic book featuring an animated version of Dracula who starts to speak directly to her.  Not coincidentally, this video was released at the same time that the band was preparing to star in a film called Killer Barbys vs. Dracula, which was directed by Jesus Franco.

(For the film, the band changed their name from the Killer Barbies to the Killer Barbys to avoid being sued by Mattel.)

This video was directed by Oliver Sommer, who is one of the busiest and most prolific music video directors out there.  At this point, it would probably be easier to keep track of who, in Europe, Sommer has not worked with than with who he has.

Enjoy!
