This song is called i feel better and it is by a band called hot chip, this video is a rather hilarious one because it is making fun of actual boy bands and its almost like a parody of boy bands as all of them were getting zapped with a laser beam as they were starting to look like a real boy band. The video for "I Feel Better", directed by Peter Serafinowicz, was described by Pitchfork media as "re-imagining the British dance pop troupe as a well-manicured and highly choreographed group of dudes [...] who get an unexpected visitor or two during a performance before an audience of swooning young ladies."
In the video, Hot Chip is played by four members of a boy band who perform on stage before an audience of screaming fans. The enthusiastic crowd is distracted by the arrival of a bizarre looking man, played by Ross Lee, who arrives from the rear of the concert hall. Bald, thin and dressed in a glowing robe, the levitating man sings in a high falsetto and observes the startled crowd as he floats toward the stage. As the man arrives on stage, each member of the boy band attempts one by one to upstage the new arrival. After a short dance sequence, each band member is killed by an energy beam emitted when the man opens his mouth, to the horror of the audience. As the final band member is destroyed, the audience mourns the members. The real members of Hot Chip can be seen throughout the video enjoying the concert as part of the audience.
After a flash of light, the band is resurrected by the thin man. Now dressed in all white suits, the five perform as one group before a newly excited crowd. All goes well for a time until another new arrival emerges from the rear of the concert hall, a large, floating, disembodied head (Antonio Popeye from Britain's got talent). The new arrival sings as he floats his way toward the stage and emits energy beams from his eyes, destroying the boy band (as the thin man escapes) and a few unfortunate members of the fleeing crowd, including the real members of Hot Chip. The video ends with the man destroying the on-stage sign that reads "Hot Chip", after which he emits a sinister laugh.
