Rufus Wainwright will release his latest album, the Mark Ronson-produced Out of the Game, on May 1 via Decca Records, and he's promoting it by releasing a music video for the title track, which also happens to be the first song on the collection. The clip features Hollywood star Helena Bonham Carter.

The video for this laid-back pop tune features the actress as a librarian who cracks down on rule breakers. She lip syncs and eventually cuts lose after hours, undoing her top button, kicking off her shoes and putting on some lingerie. Things get a little weird thanks to Rufus, who dons a number of outfits as he performs the tune and gets a little freaky in the library.
