For several years now, the U.K. artist Yungblud — who collaborated with Bring Me the Horizon on their 2020 Post Human EP — has been one of the leading figures in the post-emo-rap pop-punk revival. His latest song "Funeral" is much more of an homage to the Smiths and the Cure than Fall Out Boy or My Chemical Romance, and its new music video features an unexpected guest appearance from metal royalty Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne — who call him a "fucking poser" and run him over with their car.
The idea of the song is that the 24-year-old Yungblud is singing about dancing at his funeral that no one showed up to, and its video begins with Ozzy standing in an empty room alongside Yungblud's open casket and asking, "Hang on, is this a fucking funeral? Where the fuck is everybody?" In comes a swarm of enthused Yungblud who flood a venue while the singer performs his song, and afterwards he steps outside into the cold night and gets fucking clocked by a speeding car.
"What the fuck was that?," asks a befuddled Ozzy sitting in the passenger seat. "Just some fucking poser," his wife Sharon says from behind the wheel. "Aw, run him over again then," Ozzy sighs. It's great, and the song is pretty great too. Watch and listen above via YouTube.
