DiD YOU KNOW... that there is a video to Wham's Battlestations ???
No, there isn't any...? Of course  » fiction « |
The video begins with George walking into his apartment. He has the same hairstyle and stubble as in the "Edge of Heaven" video, but he's wearing a green sweater with black jeans. We hear the answering machine message of the obnoxious British lady as the camera pans around the apartment. George looks bitter and dejectedly sneers, "You ask too much of me..." Where he says, "I don't think you'd appreciate the things that I hide," we see him in a bar having drinks with some friends. When he mentions Monday and Friday, we see flashbacks of him fighting with his girlfriend, but we see passionate scenes of the two when he gets to Wednesday. In the montage of fights, the two are yelling, and he throws money on the table to placate her. She picks it up and leaves. He throws up his hands in defeat and sighs. Finally, he picks up the answering machine and throws it, snarling, "You don't know how much I hate that answerphone..." In a flashback, an angry George searches through her drawers and finds her diary. He sits on the bed and begins to read it. More fights and make-up sessions ensue, with him giving her roses and chocolates to appease her temper. She remains haughty and condenscending, despite his best efforts. Yet, the two seem to enjoy romantic moments. As the drum solo builds, he picks up the phone and calls her, singing, "Monday was the worst day... Saturday is today, is what I'm thinking of..." She stands outside the door with her cellphone, smiling, and enters the apartment as he says, "Come in, baby..." She begins to strip for him, and he smiles in impassioned delight as he pulls her closer and the two kiss. The romantic scenes get steamier, much as in "Father Figure." At the end, where the woman sings in French, we see him alone in bed. He opens his eyes with a smile until he notices a note on her bedside table. He reaches across, picks up the note, and reads the words written in French, telling him goodbye. He sinks back onto the bed in defeat. |

VEDELi STE O ... klipe k Father Figure toto? |
Father Figure vysiela dost casto hudobný kanál VH-1. Ja poznám tento klip, ako aj mnohí z vás tiez, z televízie alebo z video-kazety s klipmi k "Faith", avsak trocha ma prekvapilo, ze tá verzia "Father Figure" na VH-1 koncí posledným krátkym záberom na modelku - hlavnú predstavitelku (Tania Coleridge), ktorá je namaskovaná na muza a v ústach má tucnú cigaru. Tento záber som videla doteraz len pri klipe na VH-1 . . . |
|
VEDELi STE O ... klipe k Too Funky toto? |
Too Funky sa mi v istom nocnom vysielaní dance-floorovej hudby na hudobnom kanály VIVA 2 podarilo nahrat celý! T.j. nielen 4-minutový klip k piesni, ale aj tomu predchádzajúci 4-minutový úvod bez hudby len so šumom hlasov, pokynov reziséra a Georgovych komentárov ("Shit!" - jeho posledné slovo pred zacatím samotného klipu). Na týchto úvodných záberoch je vidno prípravu prehliadky, modelky, reziséra toho celého cirkusu a "aktívne sa ponevierajúceho" Georga (v pestrej košeli a s hlavou plnou vlasov...) ako aj zábery zo zákulisia, obednej prestávky a podobne. Rovnako je tam záznam krátkej scénky, ked si Yog obzerá a chváli modelku oblecenú ako motorka ("To je perfektné!"), ale potom hned uteká z dosahu kamery. Tie "protivné zábery" na modelky ako fajcia ci jedia, natocil George sám (home video). Je to taká celkom milá a vtipná mela... |
