Student fan video, but at the time, everyone thought this was the official music video because it was the only music video for the song until the band released the official music video 6 months later.

The original creator of this music video had just 1 night to film his project, so he asked his friends in the evening to help him out (2 fellow student actors) and put everything together overnight. Sometimes procrastination really achieves great things :)

This music video was created in 2007 by Jon Salmon, at the time, a student at the University of Southern California. Salmon has admitted that he threw together the video at the last minute, amalgamating found footage of people dancing and original footage of two of Salmon’s friends, in full black and white makeup, lip-synching the lyrics. Salmon uploaded the video online thinking it was the worst thing he had ever made.

This was the b-side version and the unofficial video. Both the song anf video were much better than the official releases. This video had 100,000,000 views in 2009 before they pulled it down.
The original upload is from 2008 and is still on KZbin.

I agree. I think that the visual juxtaposition of experiencing kid-like fun vs the understanding of serious consequences accurately conveys the dynamic of the song lyrics, without being off-putting. I think the official video lacks this quality, and it didn't seem to reflect the experience people feel when listening to the song.

From KZbin video with id wFZYa1iOnCE in the url posted by Graziano Filosa: Just to set the story straight: the facepainted kids in the video are a boy and girl from Los Angeles, two friends of mine, names Raf and Abby. MGMT was not involved in the making of this video, however, they became involved down the line. The story goes like this: December 2007: Rushing to make a due date for a USC Music Video class, I ask my friends Raf and Abby to appear in my video. I like the way they bounce off of each other despite completely different personality types, and think they both have interesting faces. Raf didn't want to shave so I didn't push him. We shot in one night, I cut overnight, turn it in and call it the worst thing I've done so far. January 2008: On a whim one night while visiting home in Austin, Texas, I throw the video on KZbin just for kicks. April 2008: Ray Tintori, who has directed 3 official videos for MGMT, finds my fan video online and invites myself and my two actors to come to New York to appear in MGMTs next official video for Electric Feel. May 2008: We go to New York and have a great time on the set with the band and all their friends.
