Phoenix - Lisztomania (Official Video)

"Lisztomania" was the second single from Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, the French band's fourth album, though its video actually surfaced before "1901" did. It's a sugar rush of a song, all bright hooks and breathless momentum, and the clip sends Phoenix on a pilgrimage through Bayreuth, Germany, in and around the Franz Liszt Museum, Wahnfried and the Festspielhaus, before they go hunting for a blimp like the one on the album cover.

Following "1901", it helped make the album the band's most successful yet. It peaked at No. 11 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 and No. 15 in Belgium, and placed No. 4 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2009, the first time a French band had cracked that poll's top 5. Alex Metric and 25 Hrs a Day remixed it for the album's remix edition, out later that year.
