Mac DeMarco Impersonates Michael Jackson in New Video, Announces Contest For 69¢

Music News, New MusicWeston PaganoComment

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if Michael Jackson was resurrected and sang a new Mac DeMarco song? Do you like contests? Do you like the number 69?

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions (or even if you didn't; I'd be impressed if you'd thought of the first one before now), you'll want to check out the music video for "Another One," the title track off of Mac's forthcoming mini-LP. 

Uploaded by CapturedTracks on 2015-05-18.

The video sees our favorite slacker rock weirdo playing every instrument on the track while standing in the ocean, as he makes even the lyrical themes of anxiety and jealousness sound smooth and chill in that signature DeMarco way.

In a follow-up video today Mac teaches his fans how to play the song and challenges them to cover it, the best of which he will award the coveted prize of... 69 cents. I wonder how he came up with that number. Maybe it's what a Canadian dollar is worth these days, who knows.

HEY WSUP I HOPE YOU MAKE A VERSION GOD BLESS YE HAVE A LITTLE FUN WHY DON'T YOU? JAH BLESS YE CAN'T WAIT 2 HEAR YA LYRICS: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AFRAID SHE MIGHT NOT LOVE YOU ANYMORE AND THOUGH SHE SAYS SHE DOES AND HASN'T LOST YOUR TRUST WHO COULD THAT BE KNOCKING AT HER DOOR?

The description states, "DON'T BE CONCERNED WIT A DEADLINE, JUST HAVE A LIL FUN, WE'LL SEE HOW SHE'S GOIN IN A COUPLE DAYS OR SOME SHIT."

Another One is due out August 7 via Captured Tracks.
