After the 35 00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:39,060 band's success in 83 the song 36 00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:40,980 was given another shot by re-recording 37 00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:42,720 it and shooting a real music video.

Jean. 55 00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:07,620 Barron's work, 56 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,119 for all its intents and purposes, 57 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,840 defines early years MTV. 58 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,140 Hell, this guy was early years MTV. 59 00:02:13,460 --> 00:02:14,660 I was looking at his... 60 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,080 Holy shit. 61 00:02:16,459 --> 00:02:18,900 He's done quite a lot of substantial stuff. 62 00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:20,240 He's had a really good career. 63 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,480 you know if i was if i was steve i'd be pretty happy with what i've made yeah i mean compared to 64 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,700 howie his work is actually like formidable like and it's not it's pretty good like even if you don't 65 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,640 like those videos they're still memorable in kind of almost good way i think it's maybe because uh 66 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,980 steve who's you know he's director and i think a producer and maybe now a writer and uh later stuff 67 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,280 but i think he also done a lot of camera yeah camera work so i think that really uh we'll get 68 00:02:47,260 --> 00:02:52,340 to that later but i think that really shows yeah no absolutely 100% agree with you i'm kind of torn 69 00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,600 now because i've well i think i made the mistake of watching this when i was in a bad mood mood 70 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,880 because i really didn't like it uh you know i'm looking at all these going maybe i've missed something 71 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,160 but anyway we'll get to that you're entitled to opinion maybe you don't like something yeah but i 72 00:03:05,260 --> 00:03:10,140 was in a fucking bad mood though so i definitely colored my do you know do you need like three 73 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:16,480 minutes watched again uh nah fuck it it'll all come back subconsciously it'll all come back uh do you 74 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,520 do the video summary a single sentence the band is playing and shenanigans and shoe around them 75 00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:22,720 and also a crocodile 76 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,500 so what do we think of this uh this video i think you should start with that comment that you saw 77 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,759 like the youtube comment it's kind of what i think about the video this youtube comment from 78 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:52,800 nevertheless productions uh 99 talent one percent alligator yes yeah so this uh this video starts 79 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,560 with a woman diving into a pool then uh an alligator just comes into the pool for no apparent reason 80 00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:04,740 and shit just starts to go down she's doing some sort of underwater acrobatics and then the alligator 81 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,200 just kind of gives her a fright and she literally goes flying into the sky which i quite enjoyed 82 00:04:09,660 --> 00:04:13,540 that bit yeah i took i i didn't see that until the second watch of it i don't know if you guys 83 00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:20,000 picked up on this but is the the lead singer is he the alligator i thought that as well because he's 84 00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:26,000 the only character that is not shown either from the viewpoint of the alligator or next to the 85 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,560 alligator so i actually saw that as well but then what the fuck does that even mean just after the 86 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,120 alligator scares a woman into the sky there's kind of like a evil dead point of view shot which i 87 00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:39,599 thought immediately was the point of view that the alligator running up to the guy with guitar 88 00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:43,880 then it kind of just goes nowhere i'm pretty sure that's supposed to be the alligator point of view 89 00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:49,920 because the the camera like the lace is kind of wet looking as if it's like wet ice that makes sense 90 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,180 kurt smith i think he's the alligator yeah when it first shows him right he's sort of fixing his uh 91 00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:58,300 whatever he's wearing um you know it looks like he's trying to button it back up and i thought well 92 00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:02,360 did he just climb out of that pole you know why did he just climb out of that pole like maybe i'm 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,599 just reading into it too much but i just thought he was an alligator i mean that definitely deserves 94 00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:11,080 being read into so i'm with you on that a quick question what is the difference between the 95 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,520 crocodile and alligator because i've called it a crocodile in every single note i have i don't know 96 00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:22,360 let's ask duck duck go eight ways to tell an alligator and crocodile apart the shape of the 97 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,320 snout location alligators are only found in parts of the us and china whereas crocodiles can be found 98 00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:32,079 across the world crocodiles prefer water which is more saline or salty than alligators and alligators 99 00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:34,060 prefer fresh water but do they prefer 100 00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:35,800 chlorinated water is the question here 101 00:05:36,020 --> 00:05:37,500 yeah which one likes the chlorine 102 00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:40,140 technically fresh toothy grin crocodiles can't 103 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,100 hide their teeth we see the oh that's 104 00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:43,800 interesting yeah we can't see its teeth 105 00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:45,980 so it's an alligator like it's an alligator because 106 00:05:46,140 --> 00:05:48,000 it's quite small crocodiles are fucking huge 107 00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:49,360 there's baby crocodiles 108 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,120 like they're not born five meter 109 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,280 long or however long a crocodile is 110 00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:55,880 if the beginning of the 111 00:05:56,220 --> 00:05:58,060 notes were incorrect please amend in 112 00:05:58,060 --> 00:05:59,800 your head because we're not going back and doing it okay 113 00:05:59,980 --> 00:06:02,060 we'll just call it a water dinosaur 114 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,260 because that's pretty much what it is. 115 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,300 Yeah, that's fair. 116 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,420 But anyway, so after she jumps out of the pole 117 00:06:08,620 --> 00:06:09,700 and he turns into an alligator, 118 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,620 it starts introducing these other characters 119 00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:15,320 in the music video, 120 00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,660 which don't really have any connotations. 121 00:06:17,740 --> 00:06:19,080 They don't really tell you who they are. 122 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,360 Does it matter who they are, though? 123 00:06:20,540 --> 00:06:20,740 No. 124 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,980 And you pick up the story threads 125 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,380 about having hope, being disappointed, 126 00:06:25,660 --> 00:06:26,880 then finding a release. 127 00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:29,640 Except they stump an airport with a giant iron. 128 00:06:29,780 --> 00:06:31,260 Yeah, what the fuck is that about? 129 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,440 I think this is when I really started getting annoyed with it 130 00:06:36,940 --> 00:06:40,680 because it's a cool effect and basically, 131 00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:42,180 if people haven't watched it, 132 00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:43,500 go check the show notes if you haven't. 133 00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:46,860 She takes her iron and she puts it down on the iron board 134 00:06:47,020 --> 00:06:48,220 and she burns her clothes or whatever 135 00:06:48,460 --> 00:06:49,700 and then it cuts to them in an airport 136 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,780 and there's a giant iron board burn on the runway, 137 00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:53,580 which is a cool shot. 138 00:06:53,820 --> 00:06:55,480 And also the thing about the paper airplanes, 139 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,820 I'm not sure if we've mentioned that yet. 140 00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:59,039 The kids throw the paper airplane at the window 141 00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:01,260 and then suddenly they're all getting hit by paper airplanes. 142 00:07:01,590 --> 00:07:03,400 So I was thinking, this is kind of a cool idea. 143 00:07:03,580 --> 00:07:05,380 It's almost like the things the characters are doing 144 00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:06,660 are going to affect the band. 145 00:07:06,690 --> 00:07:08,400 But then after that, it just kind of stops. 146 00:07:08,460 --> 00:07:11,960 Does anyone have any idea why in hell was it even there? 147 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,940 Like, was it an airport runway 148 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,480 with a massive, like a giant iron burning sign 149 00:07:18,650 --> 00:07:19,640 that was even smoking? 150 00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:22,280 Was there anything that might have missed? 151 00:07:22,540 --> 00:07:23,960 Because it looks really fucking cool, 152 00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:26,980 but I couldn't quite figure out why it exists. 153 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,480 I couldn't figure out a reason for it unless it was just, I don't know, maybe a reference to something in the band's personal life. 154 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,620 Like we were talking about earlier. 155 00:07:34,940 --> 00:07:35,520 I don't know. 156 00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:39,200 Maybe it's trying to say something like everything's connected in some way. 157 00:07:39,420 --> 00:07:40,600 You know, we're all related. 158 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,180 You know, maybe it's a butterfly effect style concept where, you know, one thing happens and it actually leads to it happening somewhere. 159 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,180 So what have you guys thought on all the small vignettes? 160 00:07:50,330 --> 00:07:51,680 Different snippets of people's stories. 161 00:07:51,940 --> 00:07:53,320 Like you have a traffic police officer. 162 00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:54,340 You have a boy in school. 163 00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:01,640 You have a woman, like a random woman hanging clothes, a random soccer game, and then a woman waking up. 164 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,000 And just kind of very random selection of people and ages. 165 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,200 Well, there's definitely quite a lot of people involved. 166 00:08:08,340 --> 00:08:09,360 I was quite impressed by that. 167 00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:12,740 And I think that's why I made it quite a, for me, you know, an entertaining video. 168 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,580 Because it didn't feel like it was really slow at any point. 169 00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:18,960 It always felt like it was moving forward, always progressing, always changing. 170 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,420 And it actually felt a lot quicker. 171 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,860 And I think the last couple of videos that we've watched, which have been around the same runtime, 172 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,200 I've always felt really long to watch. 173 00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:31,220 But with this, I found it was really easy and it was over quite quickly, even though it was around the same sort of time. 174 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,060 Do you think that maybe it was a bit too many people? 175 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:45,640 Like for me, yeah, it went fast, but I kind of felt like I was always like whenever I watched it, every time I would just miss something because it was kind of like death forsaken and gone. 176 00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:50,660 Probably, yeah, because I mean, it could have made a bit more sense when it came to explaining its points. 177 00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:51,320 and it's 178 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:52,180 then again I mean 179 00:08:52,180 --> 00:08:52,680 it doesn't probably 180 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:53,620 have to have any point 181 00:08:53,660 --> 00:08:54,360 it's a music video 182 00:08:54,540 --> 00:08:55,100 they're allowed to get 183 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,720 away with anything 184 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:56,640 that's why the 185 00:08:57,000 -->

That specifically gave me flashbacks because my mom always used to say 393 00:15:36,420 --> 00:15:40,660 no throwing it'll put your eye out and that is anything that could be a paper airplane that could 394 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:46,560 be sock or a straw it would always take your eye out or put your eye out it was the thing she said 395 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,740 probably still says to this day what kind of socks did you wear did you ever wash them uh yeah yeah 396 00:15:52,810 --> 00:15:57,040 well yeah i think so it was just my mom was fixated about putting your eye out because she 397 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,120 sounded convinced that me and my brother were gonna be blind plot twist we're both able-sided 398 00:16:02,140 --> 00:16:07,820 and all that so totally fine to this day um but yeah i thought the uh the whole composition of the 399 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:13,640 way it was uh framed and filmed and whatnot felt really modern to me um the camera movement was 400 00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:18,920 slick and fast and the um the rehearsed zoom has provided a really constructive narrative that i 401 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,120 think many videos kind of get wrong um and i think just watching this video and knowing a bit about 402 00:16:23,260 --> 00:16:28,040 how music videos put together i can tell there's a lot of fun to be had um during the making of this 403 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,620 video it just looked like a fun thing to probably be involved in i loved it random aside my favorite 404 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,500 thing speaking of taking riot the favorite thing my mom would always say is that's a disgrace to 405 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,760 everything the dishes aren't washed that's a disgrace but yeah sorry random aside yeah and 406 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,400 initially i didn't like it i still still not mad on it i'm i've definitely softened it a little bit 407 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:53,360 i was annoyed at it because it seems like it has a bunch of good concepts in it that don't really 408 00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:58,000 go anywhere and there's multiple concepts kind of fighting with each other if that makes sense 409 00:16:58,020 --> 00:17:01,780 never makes sense no but however i kind of realized while i watched it again while we're 410 00:17:01,870 --> 00:17:06,100 having our technical issues i think this is just that this is just a classic sort of case of me 411 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,459 overthinking it because maybe partly because i have to talk about it on a podcast it's a good video 412 00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:16,319 maybe maybe it's not some conceptual wonder but it's a good video for us and it does look like it 413 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:20,980 was fun to make it's definitely a video that i really enjoyed it did take me several views to 414 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,540 kind of understand what it was about it's not that it's very subtle or not that it's like as 415 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,260 pretentious as other videos we've seen but you actually need to be invested into watching it to 416 00:17:31,420 --> 00:17:39,000 be able to pick up all the parts and i enjoy the story thread of people starting off with hope and 417 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:46,520 then being disappointed but ultimately finding peace and resolution to the issues and it kind of 418 00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:53,380 quite enjoyed how that went honey-hung with the lead singer kirk smith singing and i can't operate 419 00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:58,600 in this failure when all I wanted to be in completely in command. It was super enjoyable 420 00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:04,300 to watch. You can definitely tell that everyone involved was good, what they were doing. The 421 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,960 direction was good. The acting was good, which you wouldn't really expect from, you know, 422 00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:14,820 musicians always. The camera work was fantastic. So yeah, it was really fucking enjoyable. 423 00:18:15,330 --> 00:18:22,000 I guess a few other parts. I really love that camera zoom that went from the guy with the 424 00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:28,380 paddles and then it just focus pulls to that fucking pan-am jet what looks like a pan-am jet 425 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,640 um i thought that was pretty cool i think this was all shot on 16 mil um that's also why it has a 426 00:18:33,860 --> 00:18:37,600 slightly more modern look to it compared to like the bonnie tyler's and whatnot because they were 427 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,500 shot on video but yeah i definitely love the camera work in it yeah so the worst part i feel 428 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,760 was the possible animal cruelty regarding that alligator where someone throws the acoustic guitar 429 00:18:46,780 --> 00:18:48,800 into its mouth. I can't figure out if that's 430 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,820 a reverse or a forward done 431 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,700 shot. Yeah, that alligator is 432 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,680 curious to me. Aliens. Yeah, 433 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,540 probably aliens. That or someone in a suit. 434 00:18:57,279 --> 00:18:58,740 Have you ever seen a sun 435 00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:00,620 bear? A what? A sun bear 436 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,740 is a type of, well, bear. Best way to describe 437 00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:04,840 it, it looks like a skinny grizzly bear, but 438 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,720 it literally looks like someone 439 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,880 in a bear suit. Like a human in a bear suit. 440 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,840 It just looks so ropey. I think it's 441 00:19:11,020 --> 00:19:12,840 reversed because the guitar kind of 442 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:14,720 moves a bit weirdly. Hopefully no 443 00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:18,620 alligators or crocodiles were harmed in the making of this movie hopefully not i think my favorite 444 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:24,500 part is the swimming pool woman just launching into this guy after after she sees the crocodile 445 00:19:24,740 --> 00:19:28,120 because it's actually quite easy to miss i think i missed it the first time i think neil said he 446 00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:31,580 missed it as well there's something funny about the fact there's just some random woman looking 447 00:19:31,690 --> 00:19:37,560 into the distance and behind her you just see so ruby and i think the worst part is the iron burn 448 00:19:37,740 --> 00:19:42,220 mark appearing not because it's a bad effect but because it sent me down a very long chain of thought 449 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,060 which kind of made me overthink the video 450 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,920 that ruined the initial experience for me. 451 00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:48,140 My favourite part was just all the scenes 452 00:19:48,140 --> 00:19:50,200 with paper planes when the lead singer 453 00:19:50,290 --> 00:19:52,200 well sorry, when the band were walking 454 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,440 through that sea of paper planes 455 00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:56,060 but like from that part 456 00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:58,040 my favourite, favourite part was when 457 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,220 obviously the paper plane flew straight into 458 00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:02,400 the eye of the, see the bassist 459 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,000 the guitarist?
