@fossy111 It figures that something this great would flop, its this fucking generation they can't stand to listen to something with thoughtful lyrics and a story line. I hate that that's the case. This is a brilliant album, great lyrics, music, singing, everything. Pure gold in audio.
@Phiggidy1 they didn't want to make a song that sounded like it was genuinely form the 80's they wanted to capture a mood and do it and subtly creatively.I think they did that.

fantastic song, i'd actually miss understood the song untill watched now, theres a certain bitch i'd love to put on a feeking rocket and blast away hehehe!!! ha you gotta laugh or you cry hehehe!!!
Why would anyone listen to this without this video?? This video is fu**ing AWESOME!! Why does it not have more hits than ones without this video???????????
Your time would have better been spent in he last 24hours or so hitting your keyboard saying something to someone you actually DO like.... ;-) Personally if I find something on YouTube I don't like I move on til I find something I do...
@FragmentsOfOneMan Agreed, it's annoying always reading comments on OTHER totally different artists just trashing other artists, like there can't be more than one. It's almost as annoying as the "music now a days sucks, this is good" because that definitely wasn't said like every decade about "today's music" as a blanket generalization.
You know.... that rocket burned their skin off as they stood so close to it while watching it take off. I guess that's why they didn't show the aftermath lol.
Doesn't everyone have some ex that they'd like to put on a rocket?? I love it when she sings "you're never coming back..." beautiful woman, beautiful singer, and makes me miss the 80's soo much!
Another song capitalising upon the denigration of men in popular culture. If the sex roles were reversed in the video, feminists would be howling about misogyny, and calling for it to be banned! It's a pity, as I quite like their songs. Melodic misandry :(
@dalriada842 The lyrics suggest the guy did something to piss her off. Something involving another woman. It's not much "Oh, here's a man and I don't like men so I'll send him to outer space," as you suggest.
@Grendel938 If the roles were reversed, it wouldn't matter what she had done. It would still not have been considered an acceptable video to feminists. It's only acceptable to treat men in such disrespectful ways in popular culture. Perhaps you disagree? Can you think of an occasion when feminists wouldn't object? :)
@dalriada842 hey i think its bad either way but maybe then again im not feminist. but if this was instead a man sending a woman into space it still wouldnt be because he hates women and thinks them inferior to men so why how would it contrdict a feminist's point of view?
@MsMaphia No such video could be aired in the media, and probably wouldn't be made as a result. I'm pointing out a double standard that most people take for granted. There was a film released last year, I can't remember the name:(, that caused a storm of protest here in the UK, because of its graphic portrayal of the murder of two women. Graphic violence is displayed against men in films all the time, including in the film I'm talking about, but there isn't a squeak about that!
@MsMaphia Hey, it just occurred to me how insightful your assessment of feminism was! Congratulations for seeing the world more clearly than most of the schmucks who think feminism is about equality. I guess I need a coffee to wake me up :P
@dalriada842 ahah sorry my typos mustve thrown u off. i agree with u about feminism and but i dont think that this video in particular, if the roles were switched, would fire up feminist attacks. personally however it is disturbing to see someone wrapped in duck tape and launched into space taped onto a rocket, no matter if it was a man or a woman.
@dalriada842 what bothers me alot aswell is that women may preach that men should be prosecuted for taking advantage of a woman but women will not take responsibility for leading a man on
@MsMaphia blogtalk.vo.llnwd.net/o23/show/1/589/show_1589451.mp3 Here's an internet radio show you may find informative. This attitude to men is part of a climate that permeates society. I think it's worth pointing out, even though I came here to hear the song.
Sorry, I should have tested the url first! Try this one. There is a streaming player on the page that should start when you go to the page. Just copy and paste it into the address bar of your browser. Then replace D with a .
@dalriada842 I guess I can't. I listen to gangsta rap, so I think women are often put down in popular culture, but I also think you may have a point here. But the way I see this video is it's just a fanciful daydream of what a lot of people - men and women - would like to do to their straying lovers, and it's not meant to be taken as a serious slap on men.
@Grendel938 I loathe gangsta rap personally:) I hate the way it speaks about women and glamorises criminality. It is very much the exception in popular culture though! I'm also sure that Goldfrapp had no serious anti-male sentiments...I like the music after all. But it is never-the-less contributing to a climate that denigrates men. Think of how men are treated by advertising and other programming as incompetent fools, whom you laugh at when they are hurt.
@dalriada842 I agree. While I like this video I think it's important to ask "Could this same video be done with a female covered in duct tape taped to a rocket by a man and still carry the same connotations?" For instance Lily Allen's video for Smile- if a guy payed his friends to beat up and trash his ex's house I'm not sure society would smile at that. It's nice to know people are sticking up for men.
@Grendel938 This erodes peoples sense of ethics. In law, due process and being innocent until proven guilty, are giving way to the presumption that a man accused of rape, domestic violence, child abuse etc is automatically guilty, in the court of public opinion. Abusive women can use discriminatory legislation like VAWA in the US, to have men thrown in jail, or exiled from their home and children, merely on a woman's accusation, with no supporting evidence! The police acting as her unpaid thugs!
@Grendel938 Not as different as you may think. Even India has anti-male legislation that can have men thrown in jail on a whim. The politician responsible is a rabid man-hating feminist who even threatened the male interviewer in the interview I saw. This kind of misandry is spreading around the world like a metastasising cancer! Have you seen the International Women's Day video with Daniel Craig in it? The statistics are all long debunked lies that most people will never check up on.
Sooo upbeat! :)

@dalriada842 I guess I can't. I listen to gangsta rap, so I think women are often put down in popular culture, but I also think you may have a point here. But the way I see this video is it's just a fanciful daydream of what a lot of people - men and women - would like to do to their straying lovers, and it's not meant to be taken as a serious slap on men.

@Grendel938 I loathe gangsta rap personally:) I hate the way it speaks about women and glamorises criminality. It is very much the exception in popular culture though! I'm also sure that Goldfrapp had no serious anti-male sentiments...I like the music after all. But it is never-the-less contributing to a climate that denigrates men. Think of how men are treated by advertising and other programming as incompetent fools, whom you laugh at when they are hurt.

@dalriada842 I agree. While I like this video I think it's important to ask "Could this same video be done with a female covered in duct tape taped to a rocket by a man and still carry the same connotations?" For instance Lily Allen's video for Smile- if a guy payed his friends to beat up and trash his ex's house I'm not sure society would smile at that. It's nice to know people are sticking up for men.

@Grendel938 This erodes peoples sense of ethics. In law, due process and being innocent until proven guilty, are giving way to the presumption that a man accused of rape, domestic violence, child abuse etc is automatically guilty, in the court of public opinion. Abusive women can use discriminatory legislation like VAWA in the US, to have men thrown in jail, or exiled from their home and children, merely on a woman's accusation, with no supporting evidence! The police acting as her unpaid thugs!

@dalriada842 I agree with you on this, but in some other parts of the world the situation between the sexes is a little different.

@Grendel938 Not as different as you may think. Even India has anti-male legislation that can have men thrown in jail on a whim. The politician responsible is a rabid man-hating feminist who even threatened the male interviewer in the interview I saw. This kind of misandry is spreading around the world like a metastasising cancer! Have you seen the International Women's Day video with Daniel Craig in it? The statistics are all long debunked lies that most people will never check up on.
