Something interesting: music by Laid Back, video by Lars von Trier

In 1990, the band Laid Back released “Bakerman” song.

It is a very chill song and it sounds really good. The lyrics are about a man who is baking bread and about the fact that we must chill. If you think it as a metaphor, you can easily guess who the Baker Man really is 🙂

But what’s more interesting and really funny about this song is its official video, which is directed by Lars von Trier.

You should watch it:

You may be confused about the video, which appears to have nothing to do with the idea of a baker man.

BUT, if you think it through, and remember which metaphor we were talking about, then it all makes sense. I am talking about… you know, going with an airplane up in the sky, having fun… you get it.

I guess that they had a great load of fun doing this video.

I’ve seen lots of Lars von Trier movies, but although I appreciate the aesthetic of these films, I don’t like them.

Seeing this video made me see another side of Lars von Trier. A very funny and witted spirit. Nice.
