A little freaked out.

Ok, this is kinda weird. If you'll scroll down you will see that I featured The Bird and the Bee a few days ago and specifically their song "Polite Dance Song". The video, I think you will admit is a little odd. It was directed and produced by Mr Eric Wareheim. Mr Wareheim is a comedian, writer and actor. He has produced and starred in several animated and live action series. Most recently of which is "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job". He is also responsible for the recent Old Spice commercials.

Heres the weird part. While looking for a good version of Polite Dance Song I stumbled upon Mr Wareheim's Vimeo page.



I was surprised to find he had produced and directed the "official" music videos for three of my favorite songs.

MGMT - The Youth from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.



Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.



And the previously mentioned Polite Dance Song which I will not repeat.

Heres my question. Is there some congruence here that I fail to see? The other selections Mr Wareheim was chosen to put to video are even less similair and more disturbing. Peruse, if you dare, his rendition of Health's "We are Water" or Major Lazer's "Pon de Floor". What am I missing that ties these together? Or is it just that Mr Wareheim and I share the same taste in music?
