Maybe I should go into music video production
Because this new job is from 9am to 6pm, I eat breakfast at home before leaving (rather than eating my cereal at my desk). That way I can fry up an egg to balance out the cereal. Anyway, I usually watch TV while I’m eating. This morning I saw a music video for some song I’d never heard of by Feist called “1234”. It’s a cute little song. My sweety says she likes it a lot, and was surprised I’d never heard it before.
So we’re watching this video… WTF… and my sweety is thinking the same thing. What the hell is this? It’s a bunch of people running around inside an empty warehouse in what I assume is a series of loosely choreographed “routines”. There’s some people wearing yellow, some wearing green, purple, etc. I suppose it’s kinda cute in a rainbowy, elementary school kinda way. But these are adults. We’re watching this video thinking, “Somebody got paid to produce this?” It’s like it was created by a volunteer parent for a troop of fourth graders.
And then, get this, on my way to work this morning, I hear it on the radio for the first time. That stupid video was inserted back into my head. Good grief. 1234…
