And that’s part of why this song (along with images from the video) will get stuck in your head, especially if you’re dance-inclined.

...Lido, a paradisical Adriatic island, Venice Film Festival audiences were shown the horrors of war - and the U.S. occupation of Iraq - in two American movies premiering here. Brian De Palma's Redacted dramatizes the inhuman violence U.S. soldiers can be driven to commit in a country of which they know little, except that death can erupt anywhere. In the Valley of Elah, from Paul Haggis, who received a Best Picture Academy Award for Crash, enlists three other Oscar winners (Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron and Susan Sarandon) in a story of the war brought home...
