The only music video ever directed by Jan Svankmajer.
I guess the 6.5 rating is because of the song, which apparently is considered just average at best; personally, I think it was catchy enough.
Now, I do agree there is some kind of unintentional contrast between the happy melody and the wonderfully bizarre imagery displayed on the video (Featuring the usual visual cues present in the other works by Svankmajer, be it movies or short films), but I think that contrast works in an entertaining way (Just think of Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" or "Sledgehammer" music videos, which also juxtaposed some bizarre imagery to a happy melody)
