My dear Monsieur Chariot ~ I wasn't familiar with the group but the video makes me think they are posed to be the new Addams family for a new century. Fun to watch and listen to!

Oh my. It's a trifle riske' pour moi, dear Monsieur, but I am so very impressed with your hipness. You are most urbane!

It's sassy! I like it.

Oh My Monsieur!

Thank you for the fabulous video it is a welcome addition to my playlist. Tell me, am I the only one who detects an eery resemblance to Freddie Mercury by the gentleman in this video?

Full of surprises, aren't you. Thought there'd be better chance of spotting you at a symphony than getting sweaty to stuff like this. I like it.

Well now, there is something you don't see every day! Not me, anyway! Have not heard of this group before, but very different and enLIGHTening!
May I suggest you check out, "The Lovemakers," on You Tube or MySpace. They have some pretty good music videos and are very fun to watch. Not well known outside of LA and SF...yet. I suspect that will change soon.
Cool vibe, here, Monsieur. You surprised me!

Vous ete un enfant terrible! In a good way! You are full of surprises...!

Whew! What a sexy Saturday we are having!!!! It's early
and yet I eagerly look forward to my encounter with the
"Gates of Paradise" ce soir
(ps So THAT'S what goes on in your "tiny" boudoir!)
Rated! Gonna look up Electric Six on Itunes

I counted electric four. A couple of lights missing?

This must be fun live. Alas I don't get around much anymore. I wonder: are the Electric Six Monsieur's favorite band, or favorite out of Detroit? Because last I heard, all the bands there have moved to Utah. It should be obvious even to the casual observer that between these folks and Ich Ben Pop, it's hardly a contest. (rated for the look on Simon's face I can't quite quit.)

I think I'm turned on!

It's got a little Rocky Horror vibe to it, too.

Man, I hate when my crotch gets all electricy!

Anyway, I didn't know Cary Elwes was in a rock band. :)

oh this is so me....soooo me.

How fun!


Thank you so much!

Monsieur Chariot, I was never a super star at a gay bar.

It was always A. Lincoln.

Drat!!

Mmmmm....didn't know our fair M. Chariot walked on the wild side.

Sounds extremely delicious to me.

Wow, that's sort of a new look for Doris Kearns Goodwin, isn't it?
Merci.

M'sieu - it's truly not your average music video. As John pointed out, there's more than a little Addams Family to it, Plus, I think a soupçon of Thomas Dolby.

Good Stuff!

I love this song! The video is so raunchy!

My dearest Monsieur Designanatoire ~ It gives me great pleasure to imagine the gentleman tapping his Spectator boot to the musical accompaniment!

My dear Mlle Lainey ~ It did occur to me that this little Electric Six concert may be a bit much for ladies of a sensitive nature. That is why I had fainting couches made available on the outskirts of the blog.

My dear Mlle Roulette ~ The gentleman had hoped that the effervescent Mlle knew more of the passions than she was letting on! Now I can see I was right!

My dear Mlle Blonde ~ I must agree my dear Mlle! Something in the sense of the outrageous!

My dear Monsieur Mac ~ Well perhaps I get a tad 'sweaty' when rocking out on a Saturday evening....!

My dear Mlle Cathy ~ Thank you for bringing The Lovemakers to mind. Here, for the edification of the ladies and gentlemen of the Open Salon, I present their sublime Two Suites for Violin, Piano and Small Orchestra entitled Naturally Lonely and Internet Girlfriend.

My dear Mlle Cartouche ~ Trust me, it is not easy to keep the ladies of the Open Salon entertained. But M. Chariot rises to the occasion! Occasionally.

My dearest Mlle Dancer ~ It comes as no surprise to the Monsieur that the Lady resonates deeply to the euphony!

My dear Mlle Lane ~ The two lights that you seek are in the eyes of the gentleman when he encounters the captivating trifles on Lea's Corner!

My dear Monsieur Youdin ~ Electric Six is the gentleman's favorite band out of Detroit! Rated Hero is the gentleman's favorite band out of Utah!

My dear Mlle Ardee ~ "Give yourself over to absolute pleasure. Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh - erotic nightmares beyond any measure, and sensual daydreams to treasure forever." Ahem.

My dear M. Wycha ~ Electric Six sends my velveteen form into quivery convulsions of unaccountable intensity! The gentlemen understand each other.

My dear Mlle Persephone ~ I feel a strange, otherworldy connection between us, dear Lady! It's my desire... It's my desire!

My dear Monsieur G ~ The gentleman is familiar with Electric Six! The song about Lincoln to which he refers can be found on the sublisting at the embedded video. (Not suitable for ladies).

My dear Monsieur Isujp ~ Doris Keans Goodwin has clearly been seduced by the sinister magnetism of Hello Kitty. But then, you warned us months ago, did you not?

My dearest Monsieur Leonard ~ How very thrilling to encounter you again kind sir! Your presence gives Open Salon the soupçon it was missing!

My dear Mlle Scruffus ~ What is Saturday night without a little raunch, after all? The very tiniest dash of raunch, of course!

Call the President!
So this is where my bail-out money is going!
I just knew we could not trust those deep-pocketed, motor city, honchos.
Too much.

Are you familiar with Christopher Walken's star turn on SNL, when he did the skit called "The Continental?" Come to me, my doe eyed beauty! This video reminded me strongly of that creepily hilarious turn by Msr. Walken. I think you'd appreciate it.

Why, M. Chariot, I am deeply shocked. Deeply! To find that a gentleman of your refined tastes would promulgate this type of vulgarity! Hmph!

(Thanks for passing it along, it was very entertaining. Reminded me for some reason of Animotion's Obsession, perhaps due to the over-the-top sexuality....)

Oh, Monsieur, this video started my day off with a giggle, but Gay Bar had me guffawing.

Thank you kindly!

Rrrrrrrated!

how disturbed!

And mildly erotic....

This is a green group, conserving energy -- and deserves kudos. I notice a couple of lightbulbs missing. And they are turning the lights on and off quite frequently. Al Gore would approve.

Quelle surprise! Drôle et érotique. Bravo!

J'ai divine vous ete comme ca!
I saw this video on French MTV ages ago and I *love* it!
Tres bizarre!
Coquin!

M.C. - Rated Hero is the best musical tip I've received in a long, long time. To think they are unsigned. That is a mystery for our age. Thank you Monsieur.

That song seems oddly familiar, my dearest Chariot! Correct me if I'm wrong, but, was that particular tune on a certain Major Motion Picture known as, "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle"? You are always full of surprises and you never fail to supply us with a fascinating read.

You most certainly are full of surprises, Monsieur! Love that sax..... :0

What a way to start the day! Sexy!

Now that I have risen from the fainting couch that you so thoughtfully provided, I must say I have never seen anything quite like that. It is worth an attack of the vapors for its originality if nothing else.

I don't even know what just happened. But I liked it.

They look like a fun couple, don't they?

There is something inherently sexy about the sound of a saxophone in a good rock 'n roll song.

Hmmm, I had missed this. Enjoyable, strange, compelling, and erotic, even first thing on a Saturday morning. Merci beaucoup.

good good stuff...but "high voltage" doesn't necessarily preclude non-danger, i.e. safety & enlargement, expansion of the senses,
in a loving communion? As Blake wrote, it shouldn't be like
a priest entering thru a secret door in the damn church,
it should be commingling from head to toe...

the art reminded me of dylan's "jokerman" video...

rated, Jim

This was a blast. Loved the music, loved the deadpan of the singers, and was quite amused when the moose's, ah, parts lit up.

Marvelous, Monsieur! I agree with Ardee regarding the "Rocky Horror" vibe. Campy, clever, lewd - reminded me of my "midnight showing" days. Thank you!

I'm in love. Awesome video and band. Wild.

That was a HELL of a make-out session.

I genuinely enjoyed this.

I dare say this was one of my fave moments of my tres mediocre day.

Fire in the Taco Bell to you, Monsieur.

Loved it! Has a totally 80's vibe to it. Reminds me of Adam Ant.

I saw this a few years ago & loved it then.... thank you for the re-introduction.
