This my favourite music video, I think purely because it defies every stereotype and convention regarding the scenario whether that is from the perspective of watching an elderly man get up and start dancing extremely, or whether you know Christopher Walken, (because although he was at one point a dancer it is still unexpected and quite funny). It just develops and gets weirder as it goes along, to the stage where he starts flying and then the end he just returns to

This my favourite music video, I think purely because it defies every stereotype and convention regarding the scenario whether that is from the perspective of watching an elderly man get up and start dancing extremely, or whether you know Christopher Walken, (because although he was at one point a dancer it is still unexpected and quite funny). It just develops and gets weirder as it goes along, to the stage where he starts flying and then the end he just returns to normal as if nothing happened. Personally I’m not a huge fan of the song but the video has really got my attention.

One way in which the humorous atmosphere is created is through the protagonist’s costume. Walken wears a formal suit, (which is also the expected outfit to see when looking at Christopher Walken), but the reason this creates a comedy sense to the video is because a suit is formal wear that creates an element of seriousness and business, this is further suggested in the colours of the outfit – grey, grey connotes quite dull and boring. This is funny because his actions and the sequence of events throughout the video contradicts everything this outfit suggests.
