For those of us who spend most of our daylight hours staring at computer screens, Gnarls Barkley's video for "Run"-- the first single from sophomore album The Odd Couple-- is par for the visual course. In fact, it's downright pleasant in comparison to, say, the spazz-out that is M.I.A.'s website.

According to a Billboard.com report and an email from Gnarls' management, however, it turns out the video is not yet fit for MTV airplay. Because of its strobe effects, the video failed the Harding Test, which is used to tell whether or not televised images might trigger epileptic seizures.

While the Happy-directed, Justin Timberlake-starring video obviously needs editing to comply with the Harding Test's standards, Danger Mouse told Billboard.com, "I think [the video] is cool. It works for me. But I'm not necessarily that easily seasick. We can't predict how people are going to interpret it."

The video is currently being tweaked, with designs for it to "premiere" (ha) on MTV's "TRL" tomorrow afternoon.

UPDATE: Apparently all this only applied to the UK, not the U.S.A. The video that is airing tomorrow hasn't been edited. Guess British people are more easily made nauseous than Americans?

Maybe Danger Mouse and his Gnarls Barkley partner Cee-Lo should just wait to tease The Odd Couple with the video Chris Milk is directing for second single "Who's Gonna Save My Soul".

The Odd Couple is set to hit stores via Downtown/Atlantic on the previously reported release date of April 8. The Billboard.com story also gives us an album detail we didn't have before: a tracklist. Check it out after the jump.

They're still planning a summer U.S./European festival tour, but Gnarls Barkley's only confirmed date remains their July 27 appearance at L.A.'s Hollywood Bowl.
