Tim: Everybody knows the song; not everybody knows the video. And everybody should know the video.
Tim: Because…oh, so many reasons. So many great reasons, if only because it turns the rather dull lyrics into an actual narrative, chasing around nightclubs trying to find this one guy, and so what if he turns out to be a hologram and ends up merging with you? You can still get back on your Tron bikes and zoom off.
Tom: I think it’s what’s technically called a “homage”.
Tim: Particular highlights for me include actually including the channel tunnel, the random billboard advertising EUROPEMAN and them adding over 980 miles to their journey by randomly stopping off in Bordeaux. To be honest, I haven’t seen a music video this ridiculously entertaining in quite a while (suggestions on a postcard, please), so LOVELY.
Tom: I don’t have a postcard, but if you want the same level of ridiculous bluescreen effects only with more than a decade’s earlier technology: Eiffel 65 don’t disappoint.
Tim: Oh, they certainly don’t. Good work, sir.
