Tim: Last time we met, if I remember correctly, you asked of me, “Tim, why aren’t there more Swedish music videos featuring a combination of lesbian antics, dancing and gambling nuns.”
Tom: You don’t remember correctly – but I do enjoy all those things, so I’ll run with it.
Tim: Really? You couldn’t just have said, “Why yes, Tim, I did. Why do you think it is?” Anyway, it seems Anna Abreu is here to answer the question you didn’t ask: because they’d all be bloody weird.

Tim: I mean really, what is going on here. This is all getting a bit ridiculous, isn’t it. Anyway, music, I suppose, is all dancy and fun.
Tom: There’s a bit of Pet Shop Boys influence in there, I think – although that might just be the bell sample reminding me of some track of theirs.
Tim: Yeah, well maybe, but I really can’t focus much on the music what with that video still in my head. What on earth, please, was going through the mind of whoever came up with that?
Tom: I don’t know, but I’m trying to work out a “bad habit” pun now. You know? Habits? They’re what nuns wear.
Tim: Yes, they are. And?
Tom: Oh, suit yourself.
Tim: The lyrics are basically her ranting to an ex-lover about how he crushed her and tore her soul to shreds and all that usual rubbish, but here we’ve got her singing and dancing like there’s not a trouble in the world.
Tom: Which I’m not sure that chorus really deserves. It does go on a bit, doesn’t it?
Tim: Bloody silly, it really is. I demand a return to sensible videos.
