French popsters Phoenix have unveiled the video for "Trying to Be Cool." The clip was directed by CANADA and was made with two film crews swapping shots every 25 seconds, resulting in a pretty crazy video.

There's a monkey, Marilyn Monroe impersonator, some sweet table tennis moves, confetti, but the main even is a giant choreographed dance sequence at the end. It's pretty safe to say that the band has achieved "cool" on this one.

The track comes from this year's Bankrupt!, which is out now via Glassnote. Check out the clip for "Trying to Be Cool" below.
