"How did our faces get so red...and why the hell did I give Joey head?" Yeah, Nickelback in general is pretty much crappola. We're not going to make it have a message, or a well-defined storyline.
Here's my idea #2:
Video starts with a shot of an alarm clock going off, then a hand (or hammer) coming down on it to stop it. Then a shot of each of us gett ...[text shortened]... ne of us pounds a beer or a shot.
AA, watch out. Are you ready for a triple threat?!?

Hi wucky. But - NOOOO!!! No bloody Jagermeister. And it's not beer, it's vile liquor of the blackest sort. I hate it with the white-hot passion of 1000 suns.
I have some good ideas for the video...fly me over and we'll discuss them over a drink or two 🙂
Nice tune. A little on the cheezy side, but well played. You're the singer?
What you need is this. A big fat guy. Like reaaally big.
He's on a disco, right? But it's tough. He keeps stumbling into things and stuff and people kinda laughing at him and all the shit that fat people has to handle. Well, suffice it to say he's not very happy.
That's when this really gorgeous woman arrives. You know, pouty lips, big breasts, perfect waist and long legs. But, of course she's also highly intelligent (you can tell by the way she's dressed), she looks like she could be a good mother and a party shaker at the same time, and she does it without any preassure at all. You know, the impossible woman?
Now, of course this guy falls in love at first sight. Who wouldn't?
In the background are you guys. You can tell that the guy wants to approach this, obviously highly educated bimbo (astrophysician with a kinky side to her). She looks like Nina Haag (but with breasts). Yea, that's it. Hot! Aaaww... Wait a sec...
Ok, so where was I? Oh yeah, you guys observes that this guy is a little on the shy side. So, you look at each other and agrees (silently) to help him out (you knod your heads at each other). You step up on stage. (Since the club is not normally a discotech, there's a stage there; rigged and everything; you gotta take things like this on faith). The music stops. People staring. The fat guy in the middle. The beautiful, dark angel just a few steps away from him. Then you start playing.
The rest kinda gives itself. She sees him. He sees her. It turns out she has this thing for really fat guys and you know. They start dancing. Now, here's the good part. Right before the end of the song, we skip ahead a few weeks (well, years). They're married with babies, and the big fat guy is now normal sized, whereas the beauty is no beauty no more. Screaming and yelling at him and everything. Like he can't do anything right. Awful. Should help young people hold their whishes back a little, me thinks.
Ok, so I'm outta here. Good luck. You can send me a check when you've made it bigtime. Bye, now! 🙂

it could be called 'the beast'.
Originally posted by windmillNoooooo, it's a love story. It would work perfectly with this cheezy, fogerty-like bladdering that these guys produce. Metal needs cool videos. Like unseen stuff.

(Not that it happens a lot, but it's what they need.)
Originally posted by stockenI'm not set yet, just waiting for the right idea to steal. Yours wasn't too bad, but it needs a little massaging. Maybe the fat dude turns out to be an amazing dancer, and sweeps her of her feet. But I've seen a billion "nerd makes good" videos already, and I don't want to add fuel to the fire.
ha ha ha
😵
[edit: seems to me you're pretty set on what you want. No storyline. A little pshychedelic. That's the easy videos to make. So, just do it.]
🙄
Also, the song isn't very surreal at all. That doesn't mean surrealism can't find it's way in, but it has to be done in an organic way, otherwise it looks retarded rather than wildly creative. Too many people think they're Salvador Dali meets Andy Warhol. I can't even grow a proper moustache, and I hate soup.
Originally posted by PBE6Uhm, sorry. Maybe I need to brush up on my english a little. I meant, "never seen on video before"-kind of stuff. Guess, that's what you guys are after, hu? Well, it's gonna cost. 😀
I love watching unseen stuff happen in video. 🙄
Seriously, I actually just had a good idea (somewhat). If you can live with my english, and a few remarks about your music, I'd be happy to serve it to you. You can then tell me to buzz off, or use the idea as you see fit. How about it? Friends?
