He has obviously been musically influenced by italo disco, maybe he should take a leaf out of their book lyrically also and stick to singing about serious things, like eating ice cream, on a beach, on a neon space station, with sunglasses on etc. The man is clearly a musical genius but yes I agree the tone of the track is in stark contrast with it’s lyrical/visual content.

I thought it was just about the Twin Towers. Still quite strange though. None of my fictional girlfriends ever had jobs! Hi Nick,

I think Shackleton covered this ground with a little more aplomb ;) The more serious points you make regarding this video I agree with. It's becoming more and more the case that nobody wants to pass up a bit of the old mass recreational grieving these days. I hadn't thought about the export or globalisation of this sort of phenomenon really before though, it's interesting. Haha, that’s some quality stuff.
