Video: Have your CAKE and eat it too

My love of the band CAKE runs deep. Real deep. In fact, the sole reason I got to know 4 or 5 of my best buds from college is because of our mutual love for John McCrea and company. Without CAKE, I would literally have less friends.

This weekend, one of the aforementioned chums, Lord Newton, sent me an interesting video in honor of Valentine's Day. It's for the song "Love You Madly" from their 2001 album Comfort Eagle. You may recognize it from the opening credits of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, one of my favorite movies (further proving to me that Jason Segel and I would totally be pals if I was famous. Maybe even CAKE friends?).

Anyway, the video is interesting because it's not your typical music video (actually, none of their videos are). It stars the drummer and trumpeter from the band competing in a timed cookoff using pumpkin as the main ingredient. Sound familiar? Iron Chef America and Top Chef, you've been called out. This video is from 2001, you didn't start to air until 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Watch for three amazing cameos at the end, as the judges.
