Monkey on my Back

Dave Matthews has a monkey on his back...almost literally. Dave is in a new John Varvatos ad campaign which features him in the streets playing guitar, singing and carrying on, with a bass drum and a monkey on his back. Dave Matthews acting basically like himself. There is no mistaking Dave's quirkiness and his interaction with the monkey is ammusing.

John Varvatos is a high fashion menswear designer whom has work with various music artist through the years. This year John is celebrating his 10 year anniversary with his All Star 10 Year ad Campaign.

ZZ Top Iggy Pop, and Alice Cooper are just a few other artists whom are included in this 10 year campaign.

Funny the Way He Is
Earlier this week, the first video release from “Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King” debuted. The 4 minute and 30 second clip, directed by DMB lighting designer Fenton Williams and Jeff Crane, sets “Funny the Way It Is” to a series of strange and animated movements by Dave himself. Parts of the production are reminiscent of the “Eh Hee” video where Dave sat in a chair, enduring all manner of liquids and towels being rubbed onto his face while he experienced a variety of emotions and seemingly uncontrollable ticks. In this newest output, Dave is again undergoing messy spills on his head and even being blindfolded with a mask. While I would bet that Dave would explain these tactics as humor inducing, it also occurs to me that this kind of treatment goes along with his self-deprecating nature. Never taking himself too seriously, Dave is always one to point out his own silliness. In the recent interview with Matt Pinfield, while discussing the phrase, “I like my coffee with toast and jelly, but I'd rather be licking from your back to your belly,” Dave admits that in writing sexual lyrics he tries to keep things a little “ridiculous” and “self-deprecating” in order to lighten the mood.

The video directed by Fenton Williams and Jeff Crane portrays a very similar style to that of the "Eh Hee" video that Dave Matthews made in 2007.
