This “Bad Kids” video surfaced on YouTube over the weekend. We don’t know its origin, but we fucking love it. They’ve taken the rowdy Black Lips sing-along and turned it into karaoke (complete with a bouncing smiley-face) set to images of chaos and rioting on the streets of Britain. And, as if by magical coincidence, the Black Lips kick off their UK tour next week…
