Main character energy!In addition to the military romance, the surreal visual trip also includes Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden from MGMT, Chris from the Christine and the Queens, Hedwig mastermind John Cameron Mitchell, and a turkey sandwich.“Creating the ‘Dancing in Babylon’ video with Chris and [director] Ray [Tintori] was a prodigious affair (love), requiring everyone involved to operate in six dimensions at once, all while simultaneously making a simple turkey sandwich with Dijon mustard,” MGMT told Rolling Stone.“The sandwich that emerged is a cosmic mille-feuille that would be presentable in most high-end French diners.”Bon appetit!The music video experience left an indelible impression on the couple.“Collaborating on the music video for one of our favorite songs in years has to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever done,” Ross wrote in an Instagram post.
