florence + the machine : dog days are over (video)

so, before i show this pretty odd/awesome video for this totally incredible song by the insanely amazing florence + the machine, can we talk about how this song has all of a sudden become the go to soundtrack song for any melodramatic moments in any tv show/film involving a female lead? like, i realize (and think it's awesome) that a legit female musician is making legit tunes that are (i'm guessing) really empowering to women and speak to them in a way that maybe i can't understand. and i think that's great. but it's being played out. too many shows. i've heard it on at least four separate tv shows plus the new julia roberts flick. too many contrived scenes lacking any real emotional content. it's turning the song into a caricature of itself. makes me feel :(

I've heard the song on Gossip Girl and Secret Diary of a Call Girl - are you admitting to watching this girly shows?? :)
