Stromae Gives Life As a Man and Woman In "Tous Les Mêmes' Video


I haven't followed up on Stromae after being exposed to his ear worm of a single "Papaoutai" last summer (and it making my top ten songs of the year). It's a good thing I checked my Twitter feed today because I have been served my life on a platter thanks to the his follow-up, "Tous Les Memes".
"Tous Les Memes" highlights gender roles s of both men and women, which is showcased in the music video. Stromae dresses in half drag and goes though the motions of both sexes in a one-sided relationship. While the social message of the song and video are great and all, what I really want to highlight is the choreography. A mix of masculine thrashing, feminine gyrating and campy Broadway moves, you can't help but want to be there doing all of it!!!
