There are many things that I love about DeVotchka. I love how they use a lot of really different instruments compared to conventional bands. I like the way the singer sings in an almost incoherent babble during parts of the song, making it impossible to decipher what he's actually saying. I love the sound of the music... I don't really know what genre I would put them in. It was difficult choosing a song for the video, as all the songs mentioned above could easily have been substituted with Transliterator. Oh, and I believe the video is not the official music video, but someone's home video of their wedding (which fit quite well with the lyrical content of the song... I think. I still don't know what he says during most of the chorus.)
