Did you catch the latest Twitter conversation between @IAmErinHannon, @IAmKellyFierce, and @veRY_ANgelic? I am told to “check out their tweets as you’ll find a very special payoff in next week’s webisodes.”

One rockin’ photo …

Caption: The Office-mates Form a Band — Three new webisodes on NBC.com, starting Oct. 29, will follow Kelly (Mindy Kaling) and Erin (Ellie Kemper) as they start a girl group, Subtle Sexuality, and shoot a video for their single, “Male Prima Donna,” with backup from Andy (Ed Helms) and Ryan (B.J. Novak). This pose is inspired by Gwen Stefani’s “Rich Girl.” Explains Kaling, who also directed, “I love ‘Male Prima Donna’ so much, I listen to it when I work out. I hope it’s the annoying song people can’t get out of their heads.”

I just watched all the episodes. Full of energy and excitement. I loved it!
The vocals sound a bit too soft compared to bass line in that remix a bit.
I hope they’re playing that remix in the clubs…
That just made my night!! How adorable.
Completely wonderful!! I love seeing the characters find their inner rock stars!!
Does their sound remind anyone else of tATu?
just watched all the episodes. they’re pretty funny, but it’s things like this that make the office lose the charm of being realistic that we all loved in seasons 1-3.
#136 – I was about to post the same thing! I live in Nashville and they talked about them tonight on the local news. I was so excited! I felt like they were talking about my friends!
They had a news brief on our local news tonight about the video and how it’s one of the hottest videos on iTunes right now. I’ll see if I can find a link to the news story once they post it.
Seriously have had this song in my head for the entire last week, everyone is just SO perfect in it and I usually can’t stand Ryan.

You are spot on.
BJ is definitely channeling his inner Robert Smith!
Loved the interview with the choreographers! And I have to say, I am fast becoming an Ellie/Erin mega fan. Every time I see her facial expressions in that video, I crack up.
(I was going to say “She does amazing things with her lips and mouth” but, well, you know…)
:-)
There’s a good interview with Mindy and Ellie here.
Thought it was worth linking!
Tanster! Should we be worried that Jim’s office disappeared?
It’s not in the music video.
That’d be horrible if he’s demoted.
:(
Ok…not gonna lie… in all the years I’ve watched The Office I’ve NEVER found BJ attractive…but something about him in that blue robe and guy liner in the conference room… wow! :) haha
What a great video! I love the Kelly/Erin dynamic and of course The Nard Dog was FABULOUS!
Loved It!Yeah!Lyrics rock!Music captures the feel of those poppy dance tunes on the radio perfectly, and better than what’s on radio!Nard Dog-awesome!Ryan-”You get out of the car so slow-how was I supposed to know?” ROFL!Watching over and over… buying it on iTunes!Great Job everyone-Nate Federman,Jonathan Hughes,Mindy,Ellie,BJ,Eve Nelson&Raymond Cervenka.
By the way, when BJ has the makeup on, does anyone else see the uncanny resemblance he has to Bob Smith from The Cure?
Sorta forgotten in all of this is the fact that Mindy Kaling actually has a lovely singing voice.
With the success that video and song are having on iTunes, wouldn’t it be something if that NBC show Mindy signed on to do revolved around Subtle Sexuality?
Blew me away. Everybody was hilarious, and Mindy’s energy rocked! Ed Helms can really sing acapella. Who knew?
