Sondre Lerche, 'Heartbeat Radio' -- Video Premiere

Where did all the flappers and revelers go after a night of raging at the Long Island mansion of the "Great" Gatsby? One possibility is Coney Island. The beach is beautiful and often abandoned in those wee-wee hours right before and after the sun rises over the Atlantic -- perfect for late-night frolicking. And while those specifics may not have been the basis for Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche's song 'Heartbeat Radio,' the scene certainly serves the video quite well.

"We got together some friends, took the train out at 3AM, and improvised a video," Lerche tells Spinner. "[It's] basically just a gang of kids, wearing pastels, who end up at Coney Island after an extravagant, confusing and chaotic night out, in the spirit of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald."

The video definitely has that still-going, after-the-party vibe. And sure enough, that's Coney Island's famed Astroland Park looming in the background, looking all skeletal and vacant at dawn. But if you're going to recreate this kind of evening, plan ahead for meals -- Nathan's doesn't start serving hot dogs until lunchtime.
