2857224, I'm not so sure how conceptually thoughtful it is though.

Maybe I'm missing something....I don't see how the video's concept is connected to the actual song. Then again...I also don't know what Austin means when he says the song was already 'metaphorically interactive'. Maybe there's something to the lyrics I don't understand?

I guess what I'm saying...it seems like someone had the idea for the video...but then just randomly selected a song to execute it. I don't see the connection between the medium and the message.

Like take Maxxx's reference to 'black and white'. There's a visual concept or idea there that was newish at the time....and the execution of it is directly relevant to the message of the song (we're all essentially the same blah blah blah)
