a music video shoot takes some dramatic turns as a disturbed neighbor tries to shut it down. see Bill insult him without his noticing-- "BIG FOOT HIM!"-- and the satisfied grin that follows. hear Bill imitate motorcycle sounds. whatever you do, watch the whole thing to see every twist and turn-- the videos apparent "meaning" keeps changing, right to the very end.

Bill is singing to an instrumental mix playing on a boombox. Bill and i shot this in an afternoon. we just couldn't get it going on the 'neighbor' street-- you see Bill distracted by the cars going by, but that take ended up being good for other reasons...
"BIG FOOT HIM!"

the vocals are where they happened in the takes; only the "DEAD MEAT" part is a fly-in. i asked Bill to do that after his take at the last location; it was a great moment in the BAT MAN version i wanted to keep if possible. he did it a capella, and what happened right after is the last shot in the video. Bill makes motorcycle sounds when they roll by (but it's hard to hear it sometimes).

Bill: vocal
daren follower: drum machine, bass, long chords

@ClaireLikesVideos perhaps trying to get it is the wrong approach

@XxPostalDudexX ...now that's a comment with some nuance. you're right, in that Bill doesn't get embarrassed very often (if at all, the lucky man). Bill is also right, in that one cannot be embarrassed if one doesn't feel so. but if you ask him if he is enjoying himself in making the video, he will say "YES".
