Pitch-A-Manics-Video-Idea Thread

I thought of a great idea for a thread that could very easily die within a week with no posts, I was at the bus stop this morning and I startled the other people by laughing loudly at an idea I had for a Manics video.
The video starts with the Manics in a record company office with a label executive going "Well we love the album guys, but we feel we need new ideas to get it across to the public. So that's why we're investing in... PUBLICITY!"
And then a man in a gorilla costume with a large sash that reads "Publicity" comes in and stops dead in front of the Manics and points angrily at them. We see a shot of the band looking nervous as the song starts and throughout their performance we have flashbacks to the band in school uniforms tormenting someone in a gorilla costume. The video goes between the band performing, School flashbacks and backstage footage of them being awkward around the man in the gorilla costume who is clearly doing more things for the band than he'd like.
I did think of the gorilla removing his mask to reveal a celebrity, but I think it's funnier if the Manics actually went to school with someone who wore a gorilla costume all the time but didn't mention it until now.
And... that's it really. You'd watch that if it was on and you weren't a Manics fan, right?

So if you could pitch an idea for a video to the band, what would it be?

I think it's a brilliant idea for the Foo Fighters or Tenacious D video.

They always get ideas like that, be a good change for the Manics to get a video like that.
