My Girls (Animal Collective song)

A promotional music video was created, showing the three members who worked on the album performing the song with samplers, synthesizers and percussion instruments. The video was animated by Jon Vermilyea, whose illustrations were used in the artwork for the band's live compilation Animal Crack Box. Only Avey Tare and Panda Bear's lips and Geologist's caving headlamp can be seen, with complete black bodies in colored scenarios, eventually becoming green and melting at the end of the video. ==Use in media==

An edited version of the song was used in the BBC Panorama program The Secrets of Scientology. An edited version of this song appears during Jake Johnson's part in Alien Workshop's skate film, Mindfield. The song can also be heard briefly during a party sequence in the 2012 film Project X. Beyoncé interpolated "My Girls" in her song "6 Inch" from her sixth studio album Lemonade (2016). ==Accolades==
