Dance With Tricia Helfer & the Old 97’s
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Check out this charming video from inde darlings and Battlestar Galactica fans the Old 97’s, which features Number Six Tricia Helfer as the unattainable object of geek desire.
“Dance With Me” is a geek fantasy, with the guild-obsessed main character kicking booty throughout a curiously empty yet overstaffed nightclub looking for the real-life version of his favorite cylon. All while wearing a “Frack Me” tee, of course. Oh, and the guy has an inhaler.
The best line is at the beginning: “Dude, I’m telling you, I am the only level 30 alchemist in the entire guild.” Anybody know what game he is talking about, by the way?
The song has been described as a “spontaneous tango spread across the floor of a dusty Texas bar” and it is crazy catchy. Tricia looks amazing, of course, in a yellow chiffon mini dress which swings with her movements. If you are a Tricia fan, or even if you are not, the clip is worth a gander.
According to Tricia’s official site, she is friends with the bands lead singer Rhett Miller which is how the combination came about. And Rhett apparently likes to return the favor and promote BSG as well, even when he isn’t asked about Tricia. But relax, shippers: they are both happily married to other people.
The professional joining has paid off, however, as the video has gotten positive attention and is apparently now in the rotation on VH1. It was also fairly popular on YouTube for a while, and will hopefully gain more momentum over the summer.
