I LOVE this music video by Dutch trio Kraak & Smaak. This clip was filmed for one of their singles entitled 'Squeeze Me.' The segment is a finger-flipping video that animates the majority of the actor's movements. What you get is a series of whimsical animations with a wonderful cartoon-like quality that's joyous and engaging to watch. The song itself is a catchy soul number that samples a Johnnie Taylor number.
