macboll Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks Fanny! I did love this video of WAG straight away, it reminded me of the crazyness of my teens (I am still crazy, but hiding it most of the time), I love Mika making a fool of himself, but this is just my opinion, my own experiences.

Kodes100 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks. Loved it- didn't go much for the remix when it was only the music This might be a dumb question but you were looking for the remix version weren't you? If you were looking for the official We Are Golden video it is here: http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Mika+we+are+golden/video/xa0emr_mika-we-are-golden-clip-officiel_music I just thought I should make sure as they keep removing all the youtube official versions within a short time.

chickadee Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well, well, well... the director IS GOOD ! He even provided Sire with props ! Cheers, Id3 You are a wicked boy! I feel compelled to report that my four yr old and I are having an argument about the title of the song. She really likes the song and the video, but is insisting that it is called "Teenage Jean", cos that's what she hears at the beginning of the clip. I've tried to tell her that he's actually singing Teenage Dream at that point, and that the song is called We Are Golden, but she's incredibly stubborn on this point and I am apparently quite wrong. I'm just gonna save my breath until she learns to read. Then she'll be able to see for herself:aah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Irony - I don't see the irony in the vid.But then again I am Canadian & apparently we don't use:shocked: irony. Hahaha! I even read over the definition to make sure I do know what it is.:teehee:! I didn't say Canadians don't use irony. Just that we don't use the term "irony" regularly when describing humour the way the Brits do. We call it satire and sarcasm I suppose. Well I remember my English teacher trying to convince us that irony didn't absolutely always have to be funny, but it not often used otherwise in England. Often for humour with a purpose- but that's still humour. Mind, though irony can be most of the things in laura's dictionary, I don't really think it conveys what irony is- not as I understood it, anyway Having said that, I wouldn't call the vid ironic This is what I was getting at...that the Brits use "ironic" to describe humour in a way that is distinct from that literary definition everyone in Canada learns studying English at school. Although as I said I don't see how this video is ironic by any understanding I have of the word (or of the video!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBroekhuijsen Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Okay, my thoughts aren't much different from the amazing praises and reviews that have already been offered, but I have watched it approximately 3.6 million times since (was it just yesterday?) it came out and just wanted to share one of my favorite moments: The way he scrunches up his eyebrows form 1:44-1:46 when he sings, "I was a boy". LOVE that! Seriously. The look of concern... idk something is just so genuine and... intimate about it. LOVE. Also, does anyone else think that this must have been the most exhausting video in the history of modern music to make? I mean, you figure they had him mouthing the entire song in each of the different outfits/scenarios, and then just chose highlights to splice together. That PLUS all the swinging and jumping (and flexing:roftl: ) must have been quite the workout. Perhaps the rehearsals alone were enough to get in shape for the vid!

Although as I said I don't see how this video is ironic by any understanding I have of the word (or of the video!). Irony (UK definition) tends to depend on a knowledge not obvious from whatever is being ironic. If the vid showed MIka getting the song off youtube before dancing to it, that would be ironic- having to show someone nicking a songi to identify with the target audience for a vid trying to sell a song. That's couldn't be called sarcasm- though it could be satire I suppose- I've forgotten the difference between satire and irony and its very subtle anyway. Would it be ironic by the Canadian definititon? It's quite a precise literary word- though its hard to define. And either poeple are seeing something here that I'm not, or I'd say quite firmly that its not ironic. So I wish, like you, that someone would give an example of something specific, in the vid, that they see as ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Personally, I think he seems so convincing at being a 'teenager' again in this vid, jumping about pretending to be a popstar etc, that I reckon he still does this in his bedroom so he's had lots of (recent) practice! The difference between him and 'real' teenagers though is that he can actually lip-synch to his own, and not some other popstars', songs LOL!!

identicaltwin3 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Everyone!I don't know if you know already, but I've just found out so I may be a little slow, but if you go on iTunes you can pre-order the album and listen to 30 seconds of all of the songs I havn't seen anyone else say anything about it but I doupt I'm the first to notice. Should there be a thread about this? As deeply as I Sire, if you have to order them through Sandbag I'll pass and buy it at a gig . We've bought three copies of the ep but I must say that the one from SDBG has brought my blodd pressure to worrying heights !
