VIDEO: Jenny Owen Youngs - "Hot In Herre"



I really don't care much for Perez's gossip (though I've been known to frequent that website when I run out of other distractions), but I'm so happy he posted this video where Jenny Owen Youngs covers the "classic" Nelly song, "Hot In Herre." Somehow she's managed to turn one of the most inane odes to undressing into a ridiculously, improbably adorable cover and accompanying Christmas-y video. Set in an igloo, Youngs' video features polar bear backup dancers, and board games with Santa. You can't watch this without smiling. "Hot In Herre" is featured on her new EP, Take Off All Your Clothes, the perfect holiday gift for your grandma. Er, with songs like "Fuck Was I" (featured on the EP and her album, Batten the Hatches), maybe not.
