Absolutely fab song and video, featuring a wall-eyed Sarah Silverman as a withdrawn psych patient who finds healing through dance. More touching than funny. Says MTV: “From the viewer’s perspective, watching ‘We Do Not Belong’ is an emotionally confounding experience: The minute you see Sarah on screen, you’ll want to laugh, but seeing her bumble her way through rehabilitation and, through Will’s musical tutelage, finally break out of her shell will subsequently result in your (and Sarah’s) messy emotional catharsis. She finally found a way to unfurl her fingers and relate to humans! Will’s weeping with pride! Sarah’s… barfing! We’re cry-barfing!
