Macklemore and Ryan Lewis may have just made one of our favorite music videos of the summer.
Not only did the duo enlist the help of Idris Elba for "Dance Off," but they also give us some serious Michael Jackson "Thriller" vibes, complete with a hint of spookiness and a haunted house.
With Elba portrayed as the overlord-type character—wearing a fur Cruella Deville coat and playing an organ covered in black feathers—the video starts off in the haunted house follows Macklemore as he travels from location to location, competing in some hilarious, over-the-top showdowns.
From a wedding to a gym, a late-night diner to a hotel lobby, we watch as all different groups of people partake in the dance off all across the city. Meanwhile, Elba's voice repeats the hook, "I challenge you to a dance off/ Hands off, no trash talk, no back walk/ On the black top, just me, you, that's all/ No cat calls, no tag teams, no mascots/ Right now, dance off."
The dance moves are insane and the lyrics definitely make us want to get up and get out on the floor, and for this reason, we're predicting this ends up being one of the biggest party songs of summer.
"Dance Off" was directed by Lewis and Jason Koenig with choreography from Anna Matuszewski. The track is off of Macklemore and Lewis' latest record, This Unruly Mess I've Made, which was released in February.
