Red Hot Chili Peppers Release Homage to Saturday Night Fever, Filmed in Bensonhurst (NSFW)
Back in July we spotted scantily clad members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers shooting the music video for “Go Robot,” a track off their new album, The Getaway, which was released in June, according to the Brooklyn Reporter.
The four minute 28-second video is a surreal homage to the 1977 cult classic Saturday Night Fever and is shot at the same spots on the Bath Beach-Bensonhurst border, under the elevated subway tracks. The video, released Friday, features lead singer and band co-founder Anthony Kiedis’ reenacting some of Fever lead John Travolta’s most famous scenes — grabbing a slice at Lenny’s Pizza on 86th Street, getting groovy at the disco. Only, Kiedis does it all not in Travolta’s three-piece suit but white body paint and a jockstrap.
Take a look for yourself, but be warned: there’s a lot of booty.
