Elle & The Pocket Belles - Dancing With The Devil (Official MV)

Dancing With The Devil is the 4th single from upcoming ELLE & THE POCKER BELLES album WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO...which is OUT NOW: idol-io.ffm.to/whatsagirltodo
Now available on Limited Edition Clear Red Vinyl! Get yours here: freshlysqueezedmusic.bandcamp...
Back with a 4th single and another new video ahead of their debut album and ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES latest is more than just a seasonal HALLOWEEN track destined for #electroswing playlists. DANCING WITH THE DEVIL is an impeccably crafted Klezmer-influenced dark folk-tale that beautifully showcases the girls' tight vocal harmonies, accomplished backing band and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Not to mention their glorious vintage aesthetic.
PLEASE NOTE: This video contains some flashing black and white imagery which some viewers may find triggering!
With its sinuous clarinet line, the story-telling of the twin verse structure unexpectedly gives way to a wicked double time swing chorus showing off a little jazz sophistication behind the cautionary tale of dealings with a devilish ne'er do well. Joining the 5-piece on their new video is our old TikTok friend and collaborator, the hugely talented @toodlenoodle86 #originalpuppeteers - with a Black and White video that variously references Tim Burton, Victorian music hall, puppet theatre, silent film, a sinister pinocchio and so much more...

I’ve watched this many times now & I’m still spooked every time we suddenly appear when Elle clicks her fingers! 😱😱😱

We think you all need to watch it at least five times… to watch a different girl each time 😉

[@kirdot2011]

Which leads me to the question of what was the process like of picking the main/leading one... cuz there's no way it was rock paper scissors, right?!

LYRICS: I'm gonna tell to you a story about a man I know A stranger from another town They say he is a traveller with a blackened soul They say he's gonna bring me down I met him in the shadows of a smoky bar His face was hidden out of sight He pulled me close and whispered in a silky voice He said "you're dancing with the devil tonight" There was something 'bout the way he took my shaking hand And pulled me out across the floor There was fire in his laughter and a gleam in his eye Desire hit like never before He moved just like a serpent, softly smooth and quick My body shivered with delight He asked me what a girl like me was doing here I said "I'm dancing with the devil tonight" Swing for me Swing for me Swing for me Swing for me Swing for me baby; give it all that you've got The rhythm's cool and the bass is hot Swing for me baby 'til the break of day When demons hide away Hit me with a shot of sin On the rocks with a little gin Temptation cannot be denied So open up the gates and step inside So gentlemen and ladies let me tell you my tale I'd fallen for the shadow man He took me on journey that would make you frail He took me to a darker land There was enticement in his eyes And a danger in the air One look and he would give you a fright He had me in a spin and fear was creeping in I'm dancing with the devil tonight Indulgence took me over like a sickness deep within My tired body craved for more (more) I knew I had to leave him but my feet pulled me back When I tried to walk on out that door He laughed aloud and shouted "Don't you know who I am? There's no use putting up a fight You shouldn't sell your soul to the gambling man You're dancing with the devil tonight" Swing for me Swing for me Swing for me Swing for me Swing for me baby; give it all that you've got The rhythm's cool and the bass is hot Swing for me baby 'til the break of day When demons hide away Hit me with a shot of sin On the rocks with a little gin Temptation cannot be denied So open up the gates and step inside (Da da da ba da dee) Swing with me Da da da ba da dee, Da da da ba da dee, Da da da ba da dee Swing with me (Da da da ba da dee) And the devil will set you free (Da da da ba da dee) Swing with me (hit me with a shot of sin) Da da da ba da dee, Da da da ba da dee (on the rocks with a little gin) Temptation cannot be denied So open up the gates and step inside Swing with me Swing with me And the devil will set you free Swing with me Swing with me Open up the gates and step... Inside

[@Curt_Sampson]

The KZbin algorithm at its best: "Indulgence took me over like a sickness deep within" as I listened to this song. :-) (What a brilliant line.) But how did KZbin know I'd be into a klezmer swing tune with vocals that have a bit of an Andrews Sisters bent? I fear the algorithm, but all hail the algorithm!

[@FreshlySqueezed]

Welcome Curt. Glad you found us - somehow your story seems weirdly appropriate. I hope you find lots more to enjoy on the channel!

Awesome song, AWESOME video. How did they obtain the silent-movie jerky effect? Well, aside from using a B/W filter.

[@FreshlySqueezed]

Good question but the answer is a trade secret of our director. And actually a lot more complicated than you’d imagine, basically recreating some old analog film techniques!

[@mithrander12345]

I cannot get enough of this video! I have been a music and video person my whole life and this is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I cannot figure out how you did it! Your director is a genius. You're technical person is a genius and I would never fail to recognize the wonderful talent of Elle and the pocket Belles

Credit first and foremost goes to the style and technique of our choreographer @ToodleNoodle86 of #originalpuppeteers, but like all these things, there was also a considerable team effort BTS… We’re so pleased to hear it’s appreciated.
