If you know anything about Benson Boone other than his hit songs, chances are he can do a backflip, and he tends to do them quite often. It’s a joke that Boone himself is in on, as shown in a teaser for his upcoming video for “Mr Electric Blue,” which is set to arrive tomorrow (June 20).
The clip is set three years in the past and begins with Boone doing backflips on a trampoline. Then, a neighbor (played by Boone’s songwriting partner Jack Lafrantz) appears over the fence and says, “Excuse me, young innocent boy?” After Boone answers, the man continues, “Was that a backflip I saw?” Boone replies, “Yes. Yes, that was a backflip. They come very easily to me.” The neighbor then asks if Boone can sing, and Boone replies, “No… but I guess I could try.” The neighbor says that this is “absolutely perfect” before disappearing behind the fence, and Boone calls him a “weird guy” before returning to doing flips.
This comes after Boone performed a spin at Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show Desk and no less than eight spins at Governors Ball.
