Music Video of the Day: Would You Love a Monsterman by Lordi (2006, directed by Pete Riski)


Yesterday, I shared the first music video for Lordi’s Would You Love A Monsterman?  Today’s music video of the day is the second video for Would You Love A Monsterman?

This second video takes the plot of the first video and replaces the little girl in the woods with a young woman in a morgue.  There’s no doll in this video but there is twice as much killing.  Again, the video ends with the main character deciding that yes, she can love a monsterman.

There are actually two music videos of Lordi’s Would You Love A Monsterman, one that was released in 2002 and another one from 2006.  This is the 2002 video.

This version features a young girl playing with a dirty doll in the woods when Lordi suddenly appears and invites her to join them.  They even set her doll on fire but she still decides to join.  That is the power of Lordi.

Lordi is a Finnish band, who have been making music since 1992.  An earlier version of Would You Love A Monsterman was recorded under the title I Would Do It All For You in 1993.  When I Would Do It All For You was turned into Would You Love a Monsterman in 2002, it became Lordi’s first big hit.

Four years after this video was released, Lordi would make history as both the only Finnish and the only “hard rock” act to win the Eurovision song contest with their song, Hard Rock Hallelujah.
