I’m still not sure what Katherine Chloe Cahoon IS, but her debut music video is obviously flawless. She is OUR generation’s Hype Williams! Terrible smooth jazz song that was neither written by nor features a performance from Katherine Chloe Cahoon herself? Check. Bizarre scene featuring a stationary private jet and a dropped suitcase for no reason? Check. Great hair acting? Check. Casual plug for her self-published book The Single Girl’s Guide To Dating European Men that suggests you can find the book in any bookstore even though you cannot find the book in any bookstore and also I don’t think the guy in this video is even supposed to be “European”? Check. Aggressive dancing all the time in a restaurant of all places? Check. Sexy piano dancing even though there is no actual piano in the song? Check. The world’s stiffest, violent and most disgusting kiss? DOUBLE CHECK. 35 seconds of silent end credits, as is standard in music videos? Check. But you don’t need a laundry list of all the ways in which the video is perfect. You have eyes in your head. Unless you poked them out. Uh oh! Did you poke them out? To shove in your ears? NURSE!

  1. Still better than Chet Haze.

  2. Oh my god she must have been SO embarrassed when she accidentally flashed her underwear to that entire restaurant.

  3. What is the demographic that actually listens to and enjoys “Pop Jazz”?

  4. She performed the glasses and a ponytail trick from ‘Not Another Teen Movie’!!

  5. As always, the extras in her video just look too comfortable, with totally natural facial expressions.

  6. a friend and i had a convo last night about the notion of “talent” and “great art”- how some people intuitively use their talent and produce art in an almost unknowing fashion, and how some people intellectually approach creating and, through a rigorous process, build towards creating interesting art. and then there are people that have created a talent through a rigorous process, but somehow just create shlock. we have started calling such creatures “try hards”. this is a pretty perfect definition of someone trying very hard and practicing very much and having some semblance of a talent, but producing awful shit.

    • Yes. My favourite definition of art, (sorry), is Hutcheson’s “uniformity amidst variety.” Uniformity means perfection – so, right proportionality, good form, a kind of flawlessness. But, it’s harder to understand what variety means in art. It could be just randomness – so, something irrational and not exactly intentional. I don’t know if you can be intentionally irrational. But, I guess that’s what you mean by saying “people intuitively use their talent and produce art in an almost unknowing fashion.” I guess this poses a lot of problems for judging art. Blerrrrggh. I’m going to bread.

  7. The dropping the suitcase down the stairs was a sign for how awesome the rest of the video would be.

    And the glasses and hair flick.

    And how did she get a jet on no budget? I want a free jet.

  8. She missed out on an opportunity to Katherine Chloe CahROON her way to the stars!

  10. This is the best female deodorant commercial that I have ever seen.

  11. I’m going to watch the whole thing later. Gotta run now, as for some reason after about 30 seconds I had the uncontrollable urge to go buy some Drakkar Noir.

  12. Do we think that guy was able to pick up any Euro men once KCC gave him that book? Can we see that music video?

  13. I think the real star of this is the modern day Fred Astaire in the turquoise shirt at about 2:40. Those few sublime seconds of the smoothest moves ever have changed my life.

  14. Vassili. No further comment.

  15. Is that her real singing voice? Because it really isn’t half bad. Which is a shame because everything else is a filmed definition of the German word “Fremdschämen”.

  16. Sometimes, I wish I was a blonde, straight, stuck up white woman.
