‘Vous Avez Dit Bizarre’ N°107 – Vintage 2000s Music Videos

Franz Ferdinand’s cheeky "Do You Want To" struts through indie rock with spiky guitars and sardonic lyrics, capturing mid-2000s swagger, while Rihanna’s chilling "Disturbia" pairs a claustrophobic beat with detached vocals, crafting a shadowy dance-pop hit.
