Happy birthday dear Neil...

I nearly fainted when I saw this for the first time. Utterly marvelous. Everything about this - musically and visually - is pop perfection.

@Kelli69 :
Yes fantasy, but did you notice the lipstick on the dude's left cheek in the last black and white image. Something more that fantasy went on, perhaps behind the scenes. Cool.

yes, it is a bit of fantasy, but did you not notice the lipstick on the dude's left cheek in the last scene? Something went on behing the scenes and it wasn't fantasy.

Utterly remarkable video, music and dancing.
The Boys are back. I have missed them.

(a) the setup is like a visual from inside that snow globe in "Numb" video, (b) the first part of the dance is staged like the rooftop scene in West Side Story, (c) the traditional and modern dance mixing seems to reference east meets west, (d) the disco sequence feels like ABBA via Madonna's "Hung up" video, and finally, (e) PSB barely appear in the video, referencing their partial desire to record as Pet Shop Boys but be replaced by younger pet shop boys.

Aside from the obvious visuals from Eastern Europe (see below, Estonia posing as Russia, or something like that), it is an homage/mash-up of specific topics PSB have hit on throughout their career:

Incredible awesome video with Russian (and or other countries from the former USSR) dancers!

@alternatifcemil that you would like to say? Think... because PSB really love Russia :) If you are familiar with their work a long time, then you should understand this! Listen "Behaviour" album 1990 year or modern soundtrack for "Battleship Potemkin". You know what i mean?! ;)

@alternatifcemil
- MrUralboy, who posted it, clearly states that the video was shot in Tallinn, Estonia.
I am sorry but you seem to be geographically challenged since ESTONIA IS NOT RUSSIA. Throughout our history we have been ''blessed'' with numerous conquerors: Danes, Germans, Swedes, Russians/Soviets. Yet Estonians are Finno-Ugric and their culture has very little relation to that of Russia. Try telling Greeks that Greece=Turkey.Point taken, I hope?

@muuke In this case, Estonia, only the location for shooting nature... as there are traces of Soviet identities... location filming the same could be any old buildings of the Soviet period in any country... and the fact that Estonia was chosen - just a pragmatic choice of financial directors crew or any other motive... such can be successfully done in London ... filmmakers are able to much:) suggest to watch video as it is, and not dilute the geopolitical debate ... To do this are other sites!

Incidentally, in the story clip can be seen relations between Russia and Estonia: guys - Russia, the girls - Estonia. Who is now a girl is dancing? :))
