Aberdeen (song)

"Aberdeen" is a song by American rock band Cage the Elephant. It is the third single from their second studio album, Thank You, Happy Birthday (2011). The song was originally named "Maybelline", but was later changed to "Aberdeen" because Cage the Elephant's lead singer Matt Shultz found himself repeatedly singing the latter city's name while rehearsing in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Music video

The music video is a clay animation video about a clumsy, lonely dragon-like monster who travels to a busy city at night trying to make friends. Instead, he indirectly causes the deaths of three people and a dog, and is eventually killed by the military.
