Chromeo draws inspiration from the movie “Mannequin” for their video “Come Alive” featuring Toro y Moi. Basically, Dave 1 gets stood up by a date while sitting in front of a store, when magically the doors to the storefront opens up with a hot girl inviting him in. All of the mannequins transform into beautiful dancing women, while P-Thugg, who plays the sleeping security guard wakes up in disbelief. Chaz Bundick aka Toro y Moi, plays the janitor in the video, with him and Dave 1 each making out with one of the transformed mannequins at the end. As comical as the clip may be, the best part is P-Thugg busting a move alongside the dancing girls in the vid. Chromeo definitely get two thumbs up for this one. “Come Alive” is directed by Alex Southam.
