I can find something of interest in most of their videos I think. Apart from the one for the remix of Tolerate by Massive Attack which is just an open eye. Now THAT is verging on tedium I would agree!

I tried to stick a version of the video with This Joke Sport Severed dubbed over it on YouTube but it got hit with a copyright claim before I even got to link it.

Try it for yourself and you will see that it's currently the right video for the wrong song.

It doesn't work for INWJTEOL at all, it works against it, zapping every last drop of energy and completely contradicting the lyrics. How those who are defending it can't see this is beyond me. How those involved in its making didn't realise it in the first place is equally baffling.

Michael Sheen, Anna Friel and an appropriate treatment could have made this nothing single something to remember fondly. Two out of three turned out to be bad on this occasion.

I know what happens in the video would appear to contradict the lyrics but I disagree that it 'zaps energy' from the song. I'm not sure what some people were expecting from a game of chess. Jumanji?

But it was done in one take! Like a school production in assembly?
Oh well, I still like it.

The bit where Michael thrusts his hands out towards the camera in a 'back off!' kind of way reminds me of a bit from The Truman Show for some reason.

Anna's poker face makes me smile. Watched the vid quite a few times now and not bored of it yet so that's good!

It's a great video but the song is too short, you get involed and then it's done, they wasted a chance to make something really exciting by releasing a three minute song. It's still one of their best videos.

All Manics songs can go on forever as far as I'm concerned. Ah well, just have to put it on repeat instead!

Massive grin on my face right now, that said, a really long Manics song would be good, is Condemned the longest they've ever done?

Was pondering that myself. Longest Manics song anyone?

Think I'm gonna look into the length of each track actually. Try and do a list of the longest timed ones down to the shortest timed ones. Might be quite interesting! (If no one beats me to it which they probably will!)
