latest video.

Keen web-surfers won't have had any problems remembering the video for
the band's latest single This Must Be It. Directed by Filip and
Andreas Nilsson, it features a motorcycling drummer attempting to
bring rhythm to a nudist colony's loincloths.
"We just wanted to make something that's unexpected," explains
Torbjorn. "The director came up with the idea of having a nudist camp
take on it. We spoke about the drum car – to us it's like a dream come
true having something like that put on sale.
"Some people think the people in the video are decidedly unsexy. I
don't agree. They are normal people. In everyone else's videos you see
people who are particularly perfect specimens. We put normal people in
that video. It's fun to see that. Well, they are normal in terms of
their looks, not in terms of what they are doing."

I guess you can't really call it nudist because everyone is wearing
some type of clothing.
But it is about normal people who are comfortable about their bodies
which is refreshing.

I was mistaken in that the first link I gave was not the video under
discussion.
This is the video they were referring to.

But you are right. Despite them saying that the video has a "nudist
camp take on it" everyone is clothed in it though I guess what they
mean is that they are in "primitive clothing" though I wouldn't
characterize that as having a "nudist camp take on it". One female is
shown topless but that's pixalated.
But at the very least it does show normal people comfortable with
their bodies and that's kind of refreshing but still I wouldn't
characterize like they did the video had a "nudist camp take on it".
