Whats this song...?

[SexyBetty]

Right guys, I'm after some help! Ive seen a vid on MTV recently, and Ive no idea what the song is!

If anyone has seen the kids version of Bugsy Malone, its kind of like that, kids dressed up in trilbys, dancing on tables and stuff. Thats pretty much all there was to it, and Ive NO idea who sung it or what its called!

Can anyone help me out?

stab in the dark here but was the video inside a shopping store?

 

[SexyBetty]

Nope, was set in a bar/club in about the 1920's

 

[gib786]

no idea then but i usually watch mtv in the evenings so i'll keep an eye out

 

[SexyBetty]

I dont think its a recent vid, it was like a flashback show

Its prob about 4-5 years old

Sounds like the video to Smooth Criminal, but that's almost 20 years old now.

 

[Gilly]

that's almost 20 years old now.

 

[SexyBetty]

Erm, I'd know if it was Wacko Jacko

So no one has any ideas?

The Bluetones did a pastiche of that, but I can't remember what song it was. It was off one of their more recent albums... I'll take a look.

Thanks Belmit, that name sounds familiar... although it might just be me clutching at straws

The song was After Hours, directed by Edgar Wright of Spaced and Shaun of the Dead. I'll see if I can find it somewhere.

Edit: Bah! Failed. Found a vid of them performing it on TOTP, but not the actual video itself.

That makes me feel soooo old.

Thanks Belmit, I owe you a pint
