Feedback is also the plan


Oh I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I saw you next day
I really couldn't tell
Cos you might go and tell your mother
And so you went with Neve
Oh yeah, and Neve was coming on
And I thought I heard you laughing
When his Mum and Dad were gone
I listened outside, I heard you - all right

Oh I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah

Well I guess it couldn't last too long
I came home one day and all her things were gone
I fell asleep inside
I never heard her come
And then she opened up the wardrobe
And I had to get it on
Oh yeah - listen
Oh we were on the bed when you came home
I heard you stop outside the door
I know you won't believe it's true:
I only went with her cos she looks like you - My God!

Oh I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah





This is a slight departure for me so critcal comment would be really welcome. Technically it's very straightforward but it's not a single character piece in the way my other stuff has tended to be. In some ways it's the most structured vid I’ve ever made, in others the most incoherent. I mean it starts all Carry on up the Galaxy and ends up somewhere closer to Altman’s Three Women, which wasn’t in the plan.

The original idea for it came from hearing the song for the first time in ages and getting hung up on the “ I want to give you children” line in the chorus relating to the whole BSG cylon/human hybrid plot. I laid the clips for the three choruses first, one line per couple, and filled in the verses before getting the idea of starting all male and ending all female. The final section was the part that changed around the most, having not used Starbuck for either verse she kind of took over the ending. My Kara has issues but I like her for that.
