  • Almost 4 minutes of a bed being thrown around with people jumping over it....worth it if Pet Shop Boys music is playing in the background :)

  • Love this song even though I am hopelessly straight! Great tune, great melody and though lyrics will never tell my story, still sheer great song writing. Brings me back to the 80's - thanks! cheer .rt.

  • hell, but there's not much of the androgyny in exactly those men, and especially with girls rolling all over that place...Confusing mess, but like it all the same

  • well, considering it, the image of males dancing with hoops on their waists works very well with PSB's somewhat androgynous quality. Aesthetically whole video's brilliant

  • Love the song and with this video it's beyond any WOW...Although hula hoops on man's waist makes a crazy sight, I insist...along with the whole video. Little wonder it looks genius

  • That is fun......

  • I remember seeing The Dormitory on the CBC in Canada over ten years ago but haven't seen it (or found it) since.

  • kick ass!

  • OMG, far better video than the official. Great movie, congrats.

  • @docburlac Impossible! Great video but the official PSB video is amazing one of their best!

  • Pet shop boys is the best band in the world !!! when i die i wish has a new ipod with all songs from pet shop boys on the sky

  • Well, for me it was across from the school, not the cricket pavilion or bicycle shed. Green eyes, not blue and I knew it wasn't love, but it was brilliant.

  • quand qu'ils viennent en france , pitié dites le leur ,magique ce groupe ,VIVE LES PET SHOP!! la classe quoi !! trop bon trop cool !!

  • I love this band from this moment, perhaps to eternity

  • i think this song is the best of pet shop boys

  • 13 peoples don't like this video. Can we forgive them? yes, very quickly!

  • Hey, I like this video, and added it as a favorite. My only complaint, is, those hideous red links at the top of the video throughout the song! I am hyper-sensitive to things like that. It takes away from the power of your video edit!! Make them much smaller and more inconspicuous, to preserve the cool thing you did with this!! Thanks! Also, just curious--: What kind of music were those dancers

    dancing to, originally? I am interested in those kinds of details! Can you

    post the original video?

  • Another great video of yours, FamishAmerica! Thank you very much for this superb sound quality!

  • How can I be as the same time a big death metal fan and a Pet Shop Boys fan? Who cares, Pet Shop Boy rules and have a amaizing feeling to compose catchy melodies!

  • What am I seeing...

  • In some strange way, this actually fits the music very, very well.

  • Thanx for the info. Yeah,I Iiked it. Especially the parts where it goes into kinda slow motion. Simple, but effective. I always liked the song. I play in a band and we cover the song, just with guitar and drums, in a Nirvana kind of way if you like...Anyway, Best regards and Happy New Year!

  • That ´s pretty good. Where did you get the footage from ? Or did you direct this yourself?

  • @somethingyettocome Unfortunately I didn't make it my self it was recorded from SBS (Australian TV) in the mid '90s and I did the editing.

    Dancers are Carbone 14 (Canadian I believe)

    Title of work: Le Dortoir (The Dormitory)

    Choreographers (1988): Gilles Maheu & Danielle Tardif

    Video producer (1991): Rhombus Media

    Music by the Pet Shop Boys

    Edited (2007) by me, FamishAmerica.

    I'm glad you liked it

  • As a child I didn't understand that this song is about a homosexual guy in a straight relationship.

  • @EendjeKwak I am 35 and I have been listening to this song for almost 20 years now and I still do not know what it is about.

  • @vjrei

    It's about hidden homosexuality.

    Very good song and lyrics.

  • What the frak is this video?? It's great!

  • sooo happy i didn't eat mushrooms...

  • WHAT THE HELL IS THIS VIDEO? LIKE THE SONG BUT NOT VIDEO!

  • i can`t stop watching this video, where is it from please?.

  • I just don't know... sorry. But "do you want revenge.." Yes, I believe I do.

  • I pet shop boys...gran gruppo mi son sempre piaciute le loro vecchie canzoni...

  • Good choice of video FamishAmerica!!

  • El quid del arte no es ser original, sino ser auténtico. Las obras maestras por ello, son fugas temáticas. Esto pasa acá:

    CAN YOU FORGIVE HER, es una novela de Anthony Trollope.

    Pet Shop Boys da su versión en su estilo musical impecable. Y,

    La Compañía de Danza de Canadá, termina de embellecer el texto, mediante la interpretación virtuosa de unos/as bailarines/as, que nos hablan de una juventud hermosa, vibrante, y profunda en el mensaje, acerca de cómo, el amor sexual es una tragicomedia.

  • wow , perfect video for this song.

  • I wouldn't.

  • @FamishAmerica does this guy sound like a foreigner ?

  • das ist ja mal ein völlig beklopptes vid! geil!!!

  • Bu kadar iğrenç bir video olabilir mi? Hele şu halka döndüren adam beni öldürdü ya :) :) :)

  • @modernmabuse guzel klib hakketten, su sarkiya zaten doyamiyorum, her 2 haftada bir dinlerim, 

  • @madeinamsterdam2028 şarkı güzel gerçekten ama şu kilbe bak Allah aşkına. Yok böyle bir şey. Ne alaka.

  • @modernmabuse iyi yonden mi kotu manada mi?

  • @madeinamsterdam2028 Ya kliple şarkı arasında bağ kuramıyorum. Şu halka döndüren adam ok komik. Hareketlere baksana bi :)

  • @modernmabuse Klip orijinal klip değil. Fan video...galiba bir filmden veya müzikalden almış. Orijinal klip apayrı

  • @FamishAmerica veitnamese is but i can't remember it sadly since i was separeted from my father. so i am a fluent english speaker although i may not spell correctly haha.

  • Brilliant! I love the camera angles and the blonde girl, you guys need to come to America! Absolutely, brilliant!

  • ¿La puede perdonar?

  • brilliant video you did an excellent job even though you probably didn't do much beside mute and slow down parts of this video and added another song onto it. you did a great job choosing that song. i would've put forever young by alphaville on there but thats my taste and you had an excellent one for this video and song. 5/5

  • ah this justs gets better every time i watch it! your a total genius FamishAmericax

  • more much better than original, it;s full of life!!!!

    great job man!!!

  • That is this? Is is official video PSB or just second version of video???

    Perfect!!!!

  • @Goga1981

    Thanks but Its not official its just a mashup by me.

  • it is one of the best video i see last time...

  • @Goga1981 Seriously.. why do you fucking care. Just watch it, listen to it and shut the fuck up

  • It's the last one that I instantly knew was great when I heard it. Though 'Yesterday when I was mad' and 'I'm with Stupid' grew on me after listening to them enough.

  • lol, according to Wikipedia it suggests it might have been recorded between 1988 and 1989.

  • It just goes to show, you don't need to get into bed to have fun

  • A good energy filled video to complement an awesome song.

  • ogni volta che ascolto una qualsiasi canzone dei pet shop boys per me è un piacere..

  • Alllora siamo molto simili.

    Le canzoni di PSB. sono la terapia per me.

    Potremmo essere buoni amici probabilmente.

  • Mi accodo anch'io al vostro discorso :D

    Hanno fatto proprio delle belle canzoni, secondo me anche troppo poco riconosciute come invece meriterebbero.

    Grandissimi Pet Shop Boys!

  • What's the point with "LE DORTOIR" by CARBONE 14 dance company.... at least have the dignity to put the credits...!!

  • Wow! Great! +++++

  • Wow. I was looking for the original and came across this by accident, it's fabulous! They have just captured so much energy in the video. Looks like fun too!

  • Absolutely better than the original! BRAVO!

  • it is great love the Its a sin also. whoever made these clips is genius 5stars and then five more.

  • incredible ! a moment in the history .....forever ...in the universe ! ...forever !..a ........scientific !

  • wow...this is amazing. when i found out it wasn't the official video for the song, i was disappointed, cause this is so much better than the official!

  • Thanks - I think???

  • sure.

    the reason i think it's better than the original is because it better captures the gender/sexual turmoil that the song details.

  • Definitely! And the State Hospital scene of this video makes the song even more relavant! For, in the 1950s, gays were typically sent to State Hospitals for "treatment." Erroneously, of course... but back then the shrinks didn't know it as such.

  • i didn't even pick up on that...but you're right!

  • So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her

    If she begs you to?

    Ask yourself: Can you even deliver

    What she demands of you?

    OR DO YOU WANT REVENGE?

    But that's childish, so childish!

    i ♥ this song!!!

    (But that's childish, so childish!)

  • I like this its a little strange but it suits the music and tone of song!

  • des is so gstört das schau wida genial is!!!

    love it

  • they're fantastic!!!!!!!!!

  • This is from a theatrical piece called the dormetory is it not??? we watched it in a theatre class at Uni!!!

  • what is this? is this a very old CDC video.....?

  • It's the Canadian Dance Company with music by the Pet Shop Boys from some time in the 90's. It's taken from VHS

  • how did you get this?

  • I taped it from TV on VHS back in the early 90's but it had a different sound track. It was on SBS which is a TV station here in Australia. Recently I converted it to digital and removed the original music, then I imported it into "Final Cut Pro" and replaced the sound track with 'Can you forgive her" by the Pet Shop Boys. Do you like it? If you do, why don't you check out my other videos - by FamishAmerica.

  • i'm a huge fan of CDC but is hard to find copies of their stuff online, so this was very exciting! but also somewhat confusing haha. do you have any other CDC pieces?

  • If you click on the "FamishAmerica" link above and then click on - Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin or Frankie goes to Hollywood FGTH. However you will only see CDC video as I have changed the music also.
