I’m generally a little skeptical of bootlegs — i.e., the stuff set to footage from “CSI” or “Gossip Girl” that chokes YouTube — but this that clip is exceptional, mainly because 1) the source material is beyond reproach, and 2) the execution is light years better than most of the “music from the motion picture” video we used to watch on MTV as kids.
