Amazing video, not just good by Manic's standards but good overall, wish the song were longer though

I really don't know how nicky can say its the best vid they've done. On paper it sounded good but in really very average indeed.

It must be awful being an actor and find that in a 3 minute job you have to spend half of it snogging

LS4E I'm sure he probably meant post-THB as the early videos win over everything.

they weren't doing any "acting" to be fair though. Anyway it was all done in one take and Michael said he loved working with the boys. Not sure what Anna made of snogging Michael though !

Well, that sexual tension wasn't very subtle.

I don't know, out of watching three minutes of Nicky and Richey prancing about in leopardprint and watching Michael Sheen getting down and dirty on a table...ahem, I would pick the latter.

I'm sure it was one of the most challenging moments of her professional career, but *sigh* someone has to do it...

I kinda understand people saying it's slow but that's possibly missing the point; it's a short song, they don't have time for a huge narrative. I thought for what it was it was very well done. I could have done without Nicky's look at the camera though, that bit made me cringe a little bit. Sean was a decent actor in it though. I did think there was going to be more of that 'repressed communist sexual tension', it didn't look very repressed to me!

Make it yaself! I'd say yay anyway but I'll need more views to decide if it's their best one yet.

I liked it. It's just when Nicky said there would be some sexual tension I imagined some flirty glances here and there, not Michael Sheen mounting Anna Friel on the chess board.

On first impression I'm thinking "bag of shite". I normally defend the band if they do fuck up, but you can't defend the undefendable!
