'George Bush' gets on his dancing shoes for new Coldplay video

Plus 'Tony Blair' plays guitar on new 'Violet Hill' clip

Coldplay have released a second video for the new single 'Violet Hill' which sees the band getting political.

The satirical video, directed by Mat Whitecross, replaces the band's performance with explosions, plus cleverly-edited footage which appears to show George Bush dancing and Tony Blair playing guitar in time with the track.

The clip follows an original video directed by Asa Mader for the single taken from forthcoming album ‘Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends’ which shows the band performing on Mount Etna.

You can watch the new video below.

I like the song, its typical coldplay nothing new but you know what you're getting. But the video's ridiculous. it makes no point its just following a trend of getting hip directors to make contentious films about politics, mixed with footage they prob spent millions taking on Mount Etna when it could easily have been my back garden.
