Hello by Lionel Richie portrays him as a drama teacher who stalks one of his students ,she's also blind and is oblivious to the fact he constantly follows her around the school. Even clocking her at her dance classes. I also cant help wondering about Billy Boy who he refers to at the start of the video and is apparently serving time. I just wonder if he was one of Lionel's ex students who grew tired of old Lionel following him around and flicking his nuts with a towel after showering ? Just to add further, the Girl looks perfectly at ease with being single and smiles throughout ,but Lionel assumes she's looking for a middle aged man with a dodgy perm and tash you could hide a f*cking Girl group in.
I don't know about the video, but I remember One Direction covering Blondie's One Way Or Another, the lyrics were innocuous with the lovely Debbie singing them, but a bloke singing: I will drive past your house And if the lights are all down I'll see who's around One way or another, I'm gonna find ya I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya One way or another, I'm gonna win ya I'll get ya, I'll get ya One way or another, I'm gonna see ya I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya I'll meet ya, ah And if the lights are all out I'll follow your bus downtown See who's hangin' out Is distinctly creepy somehow.
So you’re saying female stalkers are ok?. Although granted if I was getting stalked by Debbie it wouldn’t last long before she caught me.
I'm saying that when the Blondie record came out in the late 70s it never even occurred to me that the lyrics were a bit sinister, but when One Direction released it I suddenly realised what it was about. So if you feel there must be a 'point' made here then it's that I was either more gormless back then or we all lived in more innocent times . . .
Auld Dave still clearly strung out on ye olde marching powder thinking he can play guitar using snooker referee gloves is pretty creepy
Amazing to think he travelled all the way to some remote town in the outback to film that? You want creepy? I'll give you creepy and crawly. It's brilliant creepy though it has to be said.
Stacy's Mom. Fountains of Wayne. What looks like a barely turned 13 year old Girl scantily clad in bikini and seemingly getting off on her boyfriend who looks about 11 knocking one out to her Mum. The fact Stacy's Mom seems to enjoy stirring the loins of a kid who probably still has a f*cking paper round is even more odd.
Coma White. Marilyn Manson. There's being edgy and there's being crass ,sometimes the lines between become blurred and sometimes they're rolled out in bold yellow lines in a warning not to cross.
Creepy, depressing or both. When I was a kid, I hated the end of the Thriller video (I'm not that old but my Aunt & Sister were mad for MJ). I had a fear of werewolves growing up out in the sticks with countless stories of big cats on the loose and too many horror movies.
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer. I know the video is considered groundbreaking for the stop animation - I just round it super creepy
Somebody's Watching Me. Rockwell. Well If you're prepared to shower through a large part of the video shoot it's probably a banker it was Michael Jackson. I can only assume Mr Rockwell's apartment had more spy holes than f*cking Neverland.
