Oh, Levi’s. It’s a commercial for Levi’s.

Strange but true: the commercial is for a jeans line, I think Guess, and was directed by Michel Gondry. He is the director of several of Bjork’s video, and the upcoming Human Nature, written by Being John Malkovich’s Charlie Kaufman, who also wrote for funny TV shows Ned & Stacey and Get A Life. I know all this because a friend is a personal assistant for Gondry, and he showed me an early take of the commercial.

So there’s some info for you. The movie is sure to be interesting and entertaining, and I will see it, no matter how disturbing I find singing belly buttons.
