Wilco & Popeye - "Dawned On Me"

Wilco hasn’t issued a video since 1999. Maybe they wait for an idea, maybe they just hate music videos. Regardless, their video for “Dawned on Me” indicates they’ve definitely hit a creative streak. The Chicago troupe gets animated, time travels to the ’30s, and buddies up with Popeye, Olive Oyl, Swee’ Pea, Wimpy, and Bluto. Director Darren Romanelli conceived the idea and collaborated with King Features to put together the first hand-drawn, frame-by-frame rendering for Popeye since 1987′s Popeye and Son. If you’re wondering what the story’s about, it’s pretty honest Popeye fare. Olive Oyl’s in a love tryst between our spinach-eating sailor, Bluto…and Jeff Tweedy.
