Electro house spaghetti western meets Lilliput hallucination…

Been to the gym and spotted a mind-bending music video on the big screens - Eric Prydz’s Pjanoo. I’m no fan of house music but the Swedish DJ’s summer 2008 single apparently reached number 2 in the UK charts.
The reason for posting here under such an odd title is the video: it’s possibly the strangest homage to spaghetti westerns I’ve ever seen. I’ve distilled the narrative for you below:
A bound cowboy escaping with a sack full of dollars runs off a railroad track through the desert and stumbles across a deserted bar. Breaking in to the bar he hunts for water only for the dusty piano to start playing, ghost-like. Then two Lilliputian-sized Indians appear on tables dancing along to the tune. Finally the cowboy quenches his thirst and leaves the mini dancers all alone. The End.
Watch the video for yourself below. The production quality would have even the low budget Sergio Leone rolling in his grave!
