Watch Manosaurus at The Bean & in the Chicago Loop
Chicago indie-rock duo Manosaurus, known for performing in dinosaur masks,
has released a new holiday song and video titled “Happy Holiday Humans,” a heartfelt,
humorous and ultimately hopeful message told from the perspective of two alien dinosaurs
trying to make sense of humanity.
Filmed entirely in Millennium Park and the Loop, the video captures genuine moments of
connection between the band and real Chicagoans. Strangers embrace, families share
smiles, and passersby open up to two prehistoric visitors spreading warmth on an
unseasonably warm November day.
The song begins with the dinosaurs observing humanity’s flaws, from conflict to indifference, but takes a hopeful turn, imagining a future where people “dance in the streets, help those in need, and live with empathy.”
“Even from behind the dinosaur heads, you can feel when people open up,” says
Jimmy from Manosaurus. “Chicago has had a tough year, especially in the press,
but when we filmed this, all we found was kindness everywhere.”
The project highlights a side of Chicago that isn’t often seen in national headlines: a resilient city where everyday people are still willing to hug a stranger, share a moment, and choose kindness.
