Whilst on the DLR into central today listening to the song a few times the video came together in my mind. Now let me take you on this tale.
Set in a god awful early morning news show, like the set of one of those on Fox News or a local welsh news channe;. James is the lead anchor, with a female co anchor, perhaps Moira Stewart, Nicky on the Sport desk and Sean doing the weather. The video starts with James and Moira behind the desk saying good morning at the same time, the music kicks in.
The show's intro starts with the music with each member of the Manic News team looking into the distance and then pulling some smug pose to the camera (such as in the end credits for Predator
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFs72HijLq8) with their name appearing below. Anyway the video goes James is reading the news but of course this is actually miming the lyrics with odd stories appearing behind him and when it cuts to the news item it cuts back to James looking whistfully at Moira as he carrys miming the lyrics, for you see he is in love with her. The story ends and the show cuts back to James who pulls a demented grin at the camera. The video carrys on like this for a while with Nicky doing the sport and Sean doing the weather (the weather of wales of course with just rain symbols all over it), but we can still see James miming and adoring Moira. When the solo kicks in it is James daydreaming and he gets on the desk with his gibson, with Sean on the drums to his right and Nicky on la bass on his left. Anyway you get the general gyst and this has gone on too long.
It ends with the team sitting on the desk in a early news kind of way, music ends and they just say have a lovely day or something. I think it suits the song well and will get attention, plus the chance to see the guys in proper suits!
