Cannes Film Festival 2013

Watch: My Chemical Romance's video for 'Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)'

What movies does it rip off?

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen seen or heard from My Chemical Romance, but they make a memorable return with the video for “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)" from their forthcoming album, "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys." 

The video takes place in an imaginary place called Battery City. Think “Blade Runner” crossed with “Mad Max” and The Power Rangers with a little of Gerard Way thrown in. It’s  a fairly nihilistic look at our future with a cryptic “Good Luck” message at the end. It’s also tailor-made for a sequel. Watch and you’ll see what we’re talking about.  Just remember, “The future is bulletproof/ the aftermath is secondary.”

As Katie Hasty wrote in her review of the song, there's something nonsensical about the tune. It reminded her of a brash Green Day. We'd throw in a healthy dose of Pink on steroids with lots of indecipherable non-sequiteurs like "Let me tell you about the sad man/shut up and let me see your jazz hands"

What do you think?

    This music video has a great concept! I think they should go even further and make an actual feature film out of it. I know I would watch it
