A keyboard which he pretended to play with all the skill of Keyboard Cat, because he knew the most important thing was keeping your eyes on the prize-staring down your prey, eyes glazed like a stoner when he spies a pack of Cheetos in the corner of the kitchen. But back to this TFF video: when Ian Stanley rocked up to the library front desk it made total narrative sense for an enormous keyboard to slide into view.

He went on to helm videos for Guns N Roses, Oasis, Backstreet Boys, and OMG, many Britney classics including РІР‚СљBaby One More Time.РІР‚Сњ I have to track this guy down. It was a new medium! MTV was a revolution! Record labels were splashing cash! Fans were buying records! Everyone was taking too much cocaine! Just ask director Nigel Dick. The best thing about 80s music videos is that theyРІР‚в„ўre almost entirely nonsensical. Thus today, with fresh eyes I gazed upon this 80s classic and these are some of the things that occurred to me while watching it. I think I just re-watched that Donnie Darko scene again and again, because, vintage Gyllenhaal, among other things. Viewing this now IРІР‚в„ўm not sure I actually ever saw it in the first place. Thanks to my friend's recent TFF exploration, I decided to have a little re-watch of the proper РІР‚СљHead Over HeelsРІР‚Сњ video. It's also impossible to forget that unfortunate bastardized version of РІР‚СљMad WorldРІР‚Сњ by Gary Jules that became a Christmas number one (in the UK, Canada, and Portugal) back in 2003, lingering around the charts for weeks like a stale dog fart.Р”В«ut letРІР‚в„ўs not focus on that.

In fact writer/director Richard Kelly wrote the scene with this very song in mind. The pairing of РІР‚СљHead Over HeelsРІР‚Сњ with Donnie getting off the bus and walking through the halls, observing every clichР“В©d high school clique, character, and trope as he makes his way to class, is one of cinemaРІР‚в„ўs finest pairings of song and scene. OK, heРІР‚в„ўs 29, so in the 80s he barely existed, but if you saw Donnie Darko then-hello!-that was your moment to retrospectively embrace the mulleted quartet. But anyway, back to my friend not being familiar with Tears for Fears.

Mad world gary jules meaning
