Viagra Boys 'Bog Body' by Eoin Glaister

David Knight - 27th Mar 2025
Viagra Boys' Sebastian Murphy has a new girlfriend, and she's 3000 years old, in Eoin Glaister's video for Bog Body - a tour de force of comedy horror.
Glaister essentially tells the story of the song, and as he happily admits, the subject matter plays to his particularly strengths as a director.
In classic VB fashion, the track combines surly rock 'n roll power with a idiosyncratic lyric sung by Murphy - it involves a description of an ancient body being found perfectly preserved under ice in a bog, leading to his immediate adoration - and possessiveness. Eventually he insists that 'You're just jealous of her darkened skin and her dainty nose'.
This quirky concept all the motivation that Glaister needs to bring a unique love story to the screen, which starts when the reanimated zombie-like Bog Body walks into a London boozer, and begins her ancient dance ritual - before Seb enters the pub whilst she's doing full splits on the pub carpet.
And so their passionate affair begins, with the well-preserved ancient woman acquiring the taste for a rock 'n rolll lifestyle. What could possibly go wrong?
“I love bog bodies," says Glaister. "I’m obsessed. Thank GOD someone finally wrote a song about one. Dream gig really, got to spend the day in the pub with my mates watching a Bog Lady dance to one of my favourite bands. Mammoth effort from an extraordinarily talented bunch. Up the Bog!”
