Pee Wee Herman in Raconteurs Video by amit

Paul Reubens AKA Pee-Wee “Whip It Out” Herman (Mystery Men) has left obscurity to make an appearance in The Raconteurs’ video for “Steady As She Goes.” The video tells the story of a box car race between the members of the band. Front man Jack White plays “Copper Kid” while Pee-Wee plays an effeminate man (typecasting blows).

Also take a look at Jack White’s Coca-Cola commercial (and racist Coke Blak follow-up) and the original “Steady As She Goes” video.

Then take a listen and look at the new music video for Paris Hilton’s single “Stars Are Blind.” The reggae beat takes Paris back to her roots as a poor black man living in Jamaica while the synthesized voice speaks modern volumes to her pop audience. In a word, it’s “crap.”
