Making a political statement with Erykah Badu Window Seat video
The video for Erykah Badu’s “Window Seat” begins with a radio broadcast that describes JFK’s motorcade turning onto Elm Street in Dallas, minutes before he was assassinated. The Window Seat video cuts then to Erykah Badu sitting in a vehicle parked on Elm Street. In a continuous shot, Erykah Badu then gets out of the car and removes every piece of clothing when walking along the sidewalk. A gunshot is heard when Erykah Badu is entirely naked, and she falls onto the grassy knoll.
Erykah Badu Window Seat video credits Matt and Kim
The Erykah Badu window Seat video also credits the Matt and Kim “Lessons Learned” music video, where the indie rockers strip down and streak through Times Square. The rockers were tackled by cops, and they had to get bailed out with payday loans. While there has been quite a bit of controversy over these naked music videos, Badu has said via her Twitter account that stripping down for the Window Seat video was “liberating”.
Window Seat video was meant to spark discussion
The Erykah Badu Window Seat video was designed to be a statement against “groupthink”.She hoped to start a discussion about fear, vulnerability, and the “unwritten rule” of not expressing one’s true opinion. The music company that owns Erykah Badu’s music video has blocked it from internet distribution. So what do you think? Does the Erykah Badu Window Seat video spark discussion, or is it just spectacle?
