Man Man - "Rabbit Habits" (video)

Wednesday, Apr 8, 2009
by PopMatters Staff

Man Man go all horror film on us in their new video for “Rabbit Habits”. Actually, it’s more of a mini film than just another music video. Director Lex Halaby says, “It’s really intended as a tribute to classic Hollywood B movies. There’s the Teen Wolf van surfing scene and an homage to several classic horror films. We weren’t really worried about getting it on MTV as much as we just wanted to do something completely original.”
