This song really symbolizes freedom and happiness, really well! I'm a long boarder/skater myself, and I feel in peace and happiness when I'm cruising past the sea at summer. I couldn't love Goldfrapp any more for making this video so perfect and true to the song and people. This is amazing!:'D.
Anyone get the fact that "Caravan Girl" is Brit for the American term "trailer trash"? Not saying that all people who live in trailers (caravans) are "trash", but that's technically what the title means, i.e., "girl who lives in a trailer".
A great song but the video looks like a sanitary towel advert. "With Goldfrapp you can skateboard...even on your heaviest days!" Beautifully shot though.
This video displays a girl escaping her economical status. From the get go, it is understood she is impoverished. She uses her longboard to find some means of happiness. This video is beautiful and inspiring to not be so wound up and stiff in life and to enjoy the beauty of this world

No, we don't ALL wanna ride a hippie longboard (prefered transportation of many lazy, welfare taking drains on society). Some of us actually enjoy having responsibilities and relish in the freedom the money it earns us allows. She sure looks good in those daisy dukes though, haha.

I agree completely with you my friend, it may be some peoples idea of paradise, living the hippy lifestyle and buying food with poems, but I like to earn my way and buy my food and beer with hard earned cash. 80 quid every two weeks isnt my idea of living thanks government but no thanks, you make to easy for people to become lazy and drain the state of cash which could be used to equip our troops properly and care for or sick and elderly.
it's a life worth living, that creates spontaneous and random memories that will last a lifetime, and that doesn't drain anyone else of anything. you can be self-sufficient and still be able to experience the unknown, something that attempting to "win" at capitalism has a nearly impossible time offering. Zorba the Greek is a prime example.
She glides so smoothly, so freely, like she's flying. I love her transistor radio - still got one of those. I can't part with it. This clip really makes me smile! Thanks!

Great song, awful video. Is just a typical music video nothing special or Goldfrapp-like about it. She isn't even the video (first time she hasn't I think)
was never a fan of this song but if you think about it it is rather good despite being so different to the rest of their stuff... I like the way they're free to do that. Still has their sound in it which separates it from everything else!

@JetJagger I don't think the British slang carries quite the negative connotation you believe it does. And that is exactly what you're saying.

I say it looks more like a cruiser. Can't buy one of these at a commercial yuppie mall. Or can you?
So, I think the model is holding a longboard and some double is riding a different board.
