MusicDishTV Presents Zombies, Texting And Mayhem In Barry Keenan's "UUU Yeah U"

Capitalizing on the recent zombie craze, singer/songwriter Barry Keenan released a deliciously ridiculous music video poking fun at the zombie apocalypse trope for his single "UUU Yeah U". Released via his official Youtube account, the music video is a demented visual and aural delight.



The music video follows Keenan as he relentlessly texts to a girl of his affections, completely oblivious to the zombies and mayhem around him. Shots of zombies and news reports on the impending apocalypse are interpolated in between shots of Keenan tapping cluelessly on his phone. Amidst the chaos, the band performs while fighting off zombie hordes. The insanity climaxes at the song's break, with the zombies clapping and dancing to the music and the band fighting them off with their fire-spitting instruments. High-octave, crazy, and cheeky in the best way, Keenan's MV is great, hilarious fun.



"UUU Yeah U" is an adrenaline pumping rock song with strong riffs and pounding beats. Keenan sings energetically about his longing for texts from the girl and his screechy, powerful vocals fits perfectly with the melody.



Barry Keenan started started recording professionally at the age of 15 and already attracted his first major publishing deal when he turned 19. A multi-instrumentalist, Keenan has worked as a producer and a recording artist. As an artists, his songs have received commercial radio play on major radio stations like KROQ and KLOS.
