Video: Kanye West: "Can't Tell Me Nothing" (alt. video ft. Will Oldham and Zach Galifianakis)

A new video for "Can't Tell Me Nothing" is up over on Kanye's website, and it stars actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis and Bonnie "Prince" Billie's Will Oldham as farmers, wandering through the idyllic countryside while, uh, meditating on the song's theme. An Amish paradise, you might say, though Galifianakis is spitting Kanye's words like he's angry and feels them way down deep. Pretty good lip-syncing, too. A dose of weird here on a Wednesday morning.

Kanye's original (and far less interesting) video hit YouTube a couple months ago. It finds him wandering alone through a desert landscape, either looking for Zach and Will or trying to hook up with the dancing babe in the flowing gown. My guess is the latter.
