Being a fan of Silver Jews I can’t believe I missed this, but, oh well, -2 scene points for me. Silver Jews came out of a long hiatus at the end of 2005 to record and release a new album on Drag City named “Tanglewood Numbers”. Not their greatest work, but certainly worthy of a Silver Jews release, the album features a ‘love’ song named “Punks in the Beerlight”, for which SIlver Jews released a very interesting music video to accompany it. The video, directed by Todd Lincoln, cuts up scenes from Planet of the Apes and reforms the cult film into a music video love story with Silver Jews supplying the soundtrack.

Watch the video and maybe shed a tear after the jump…
