As mentioned in the laughter thread.

So much to unpack here.

SPOILERS:

Spoiler alert
All the statues crowded together, including the MASSIVE statue of an archer.

Burgh towering over the battlements of the castle.

His dancing and speaking statue army.

His look to camera at 1:31

The statues marching while one statue watches them. And then the statues march later while another statue walks the other way through them.

2:18 - Burgh wandering around the statues
[close]

One of the daftest music videos I've seen. The song is nice and uplifting but the video...so silly.

Shaky

Holy shit - that turn to the camera had me in absolute stitches.

He seems to be turning into Tony Hart as well.

Thanks to John Robins foisting his shit taste in music on his podcast listeners, I know that De Burgh has form in bad/funny videos

Chris just having a drink in a hotel bar. Someone walks in behind him at one point, sees what's happening and leaves swiftly. Want to edit that out Chris? Nah.

I think this is better than the one in the OP. I'd really like to go for a drink at the Ballroom of Romance. Not sure if I'd be yelling for another double scotch or standing looking over at the sea but I'd definitely be ready for romance.

This is only the video the Chemical Brothers wish they'd made.

What kind of deaf-eared lunatics are going to Chris De Burgh concerts? If only he had been playing that night in 2017 at the Manchester Arena.

It's such a funny video that you have to watch until the end by which time you're fully on board with this absolute banger. He's playing us all for damn fools.

DJ Bob Hoskins

Anyone remember the time Chris de Burgh got a bad review in the Irish Times and went full Partridge?

Shit Good Nose

He looks like a local authority building surveyor wearing his weekend clothes (which are the same clothes he wears to work, but minus the tie and jacket).

I think that in the new video in the OP, and the 'Ballroom of Romance' nonsense from (presumably) decades earlier, he's basically wearing the same clothes, red jumper excepted.

Burst out laughing at the Gandhi, Mandela and MLK cameos at the end, while an approving de Burgh watches on.


The Mollusk

Fantastic stuff. The close up shots of de Burgh at the bar in "Ballroom of Romance" have some big Gregg Turkington/On Cinema energy.

lazyhour

This new song has a very Brexity vibe.

I was thinking more of a confused Johnny Ball.

Sure does. Is it about Farage?

Or maybe commissioned by one of the dictators of a an ex-Soviet Republic that Blair likes to work for.

i mean as naff as this is (the AirBnB bed and the idea that Daniel o'Donnell drives to a nine-to-five), the production is so much better than this Breen-esque nonsense. and like the pirate dumping the treasure chest on the bar to get round his ban is quite funny

but what've we got here. some models of hero statues like the Nottingham Robin Hood dumped in a landscape. the comping is terrible. then you have these weird putty normies marching all over the place. it all looks like something you could do with downloaded models and stock motion paths in blender in an afternoon (not including rendering time) if you really pushed yourself and weren't bothered that your final product looked like complete shit.

Glebe

Wow. A LOT to unpack. On my phone but bit late arsed to break out me laptop and give the proper forensic breakdown/analysis (with diagrams) this deserves, but nice find Fambo! There's SO much going on there!

Mate of mine once tiled Chris' kitchen actually.

For anyone who thinks ABBA's S.O.S. would be improved if it was deBurghified.

Perfect. It's just missing a shot of Chris standing in a square, feeding the pigeons and going 'oh god!'.

I agree with the top comment: WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG AND HIS VOICE!!!

Love Chris de Burgh walking around and looking at stuff.
