The Streets’ new video has been banned from just about everywhere. Even the former wild-child-turned-boring-old-granny MTV has relegated it to a post 11 pm slot. You can download it here if you want to see what the fuss is about.
Apart from proposing that drugs are pretty endemic in youth culture (not really news) it’s interesting, as a central theme is….the mobile phone. The opening scene shows the hero and girlf getting cut off on their mobile and exchanging text messages to arrange to meet up. Then he has to go to the door in the club so he can get “bars on my phone”. And then he wonders why she doesn’t “text me when they’re near”.
Great song, cool vid.
