How Many Royal Enfields Does it Take to Pull a Chrome Chariot? Everything you need to know, in the music video you didn't know you needed.
We’re saved. No more wondering whether a moose head might look better on a cruiser than on an actual moose’s body. No more furious calculations about exactly how many Royal Enfields it would take to pull Foxy Shazam’s Eric Nally and his horrific mustache around in a chromed-feathered chariot. No more laying awake at night wondering what moped Kool Moe Dee would ride if Kool Moe Dee rode a moped. Hip hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis just answered those questions (and a bunch of others we forgot to ask) with “Downtown,” a video filmed on the mean-streets of Spokane, Washington, where old-school rappers face off against be-fringed Queen fans in a West Side Story-style battle that’s “hella 1987,” rife with wheeled things, and too, too real. Whether you think “Downtown” is ultimately as tragic as that film will depend a lot on whether or not you’re any fun, but we can all agree that the song’s lessons on how to win the passenger of your dreams are arguably a lot more actionable. Not killing your crush’s brother? Could be hard; depends what gang he dances with. Rolling out boss one-liners like “If I only had one helmet, I’d give it to you”? That’s easy, and as long as you’re not talking to someone who knows hipster helmets put the “death” in “vintage,” it should totally—like 100%—work. If you count yourself among those who’ve “felt the warm embrace of a leather seat between your legs” (a line that was seriously begging to be crooned by a guy on a chariot, we just didn’t know it until now), you’ll probably bathe in the enjoyable weirdness of these 5 minutes enough times to answer all my intro questions. But just in case the ’80s were super hard on you and the sight of fingerless gloves puts you in a bad place, the answers go like this: 1. Kinda? 2. Four 3. White Vespa, duh
