“As Lonely as a Blue, Blue Star” — F You, Tammy! Celebrate 40 Years of David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” With an Unsettling Noir Video

Fuck You, Tammy!, a New York ensemble formed in 2017 around Twin Peaks and David Lynch material, has released a video for a minimalist cover of “Blue Velvet/Blue Star,” the song anchoring Lynch’s 1986 film. The arrangement strips the Bobby Vinton standard to piano and voice, with lead singer Devery Doleman and keyboardist Bill Ferullo creating intimate, unsettling space between their parts. Director ioiulex frames them in a black-and-white nightclub that shifts from formal MGM-style elegance into dream logic: focus drifts, exposures flare, bodies contort and repeat, turning romantic reverie into psychological unease. The band, which also includes bassist Julie Rozansky, drummer Nate Smith, guitarist Blaise Dahl, and saxophonist Anthony Cekay, describes itself as “Grace Zabriskie fronting Roxy Music.” An album of covers and originals is planned for 2027.
