The ‘Scummy Man’ is back! Like a geriatric version of “The Warriors”, the latest clip from Arctic Monkeys pits some very pissed off clowns against, what looks like, the cast of “Sexy Beast”. Mayhem ensues.
‘Fluorescent Adolescent’ is the second single to be taken from ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’. The lyrical narration is supported by a striking video directed by Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd/Nathan Barley), starring Stephen ‘Scummy Man’ Graham (Snatch/Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels) and a rather scary bunch of clowns.
