... that the Strokes lose a game of baseball by a score of 56–1 against a team of robots in the music video for their song "The Adults Are Talking"? Source: Rolling Stone — "The Strokes aim for a moral victory in an impossible game of baseball against superior robot opponents in the new video for 'The Adults Are Talking.' ... While Casablancas beats the throw to the plate and scores, a quick cut to the scoreboard reveals the tally is 56 to one in favor of the robots. Nevertheless, the Strokes treat their consolation run as a championship win and celebrate accordingly."

Fun hook. Article is good for date and length, and pulls together diverse information from a lot of sources, all of which are well cited. Clean report from Earwig, and QPQ has been done. Jheald (talk) 21:09, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
