Cosby - Heartracer

The “Heartracer” video embraces the same sense of throwback as the music of Cosby. The video begins in front of a classic arcade game with a young man temporarily distracted by the pretty lady at the bar. Upon realizing her smiles and waves were not meant for him he dolefully turns back to the arcade game and his absolute frustration soon transports him into the game itself. The next thing we know he is working his way through various video game levels complete with 8 bit graphics representing his “power” and a countdown timer to beat this level. After overcoming obstacles like a difficult bartender or a belligerent bar patron, he makes his way to the boss of the level. We won’t give anything away, but let’s just say it’s not the type of boss you’d expect! The Cosby brothers provide the soundtrack, rocking out on top of the bar and decked out in neon glasses, a Casio key-tar, a Kramer guitar, and other odes to 80′s pop culture. This vibrant clip is a delightful bit of nostalgia and a powerful piece of contemporary pop music.
