Top 100 Best Music Videos of All-Time
9. PASS THIS ON
THE KNIFE
2003
"A flaxen haired, spider-limbed female impersonator takes the mic in a rustic chalet. A woman in the small audience gets up out of her seat. Is she leaving? A glaring thug approaches the stage. Is he going to end her song by force? No, they're both moved by the music, and soon everyone is dancing. Except for one young woman, whose blank stare closes out the video on a question mark." (Slant Magazine, January, 2010)
The music video for the song was directed by Johan Renck and features female impersonator Rickard Engfors in a room lip-synching to the song. Both members of The Knife, Karin and Olof Dreijer, are visible in the video; Olof is seen dancing next to Engfors and flirting with him, and Karin appears at the end of the video, sitting at a table and looking at Engfors and Olof.
