Possibly the funniest thing ever that. This post was initially about Bros fighting with New kids on the block, but then I stumbled upon this E17 video and I've been forced to change the subject.
I am unashamedly fascinated by this video. It is my favourite music video ever. I could watch it all day for ever. From watching E17 on the telly at their peak it was clear that even for the music industry what we had here was a quartet of the most obnoxious twats you're ever likely to see in one life time and for them all to be in one band, well...what are the odds?
I love the idea that by the time this video was produced, their custume people and video directors and managers and so on, were so sick of them, so fucked off with them, so full of hatred and resentment for them and their own sycophantic lives that forced them to deal with such arrogant little sods, that they made them wear the stuff in this video just to make them look like cocks for ever, safe in the knowledge that all four of them were all so far up their own arses by this time, that it would be decades before they all realised how ridiculous they looked.
It's gold. They're so into it..it's beautiful..watch their faces, their hand gestures, they're so in the moment, so completely unaware that it is possible for them to look like wankers and they haven't stopped even for a minute to question their producers about the stuff they're being made to wear.
It's incredible what fame can do to one's sense of perspective. There's something in this video to keep the medical profession's finest psychologists, psychiatrists and proctologists occupied for their entire careers. It's so full of embarrassment, but the whole is so much greater than the sum of it's part. The humiliation should be exponential, there in lies its genius. I must now watch it again if you'll excuse me.
