‘I wish that bar lady’d appear And come serve over here’
|
| Crafted with a wobbly synth and menacing 808 beat, The Streets’ “Blinded by the Lights” unfolds a nightmarish club scene where Skinner’s character yearns for Simone’s attention amidst dodgy ecstasy and alcohol. The narrative extends into the accompanying music video directed by Adam Smith. |

| Oasis’ track “The Importance of Being Idle,” a Noel Gallagher’s composition, shows a recognizable “Kinks” influence. The music video, directed by Dawn Shadforth, stands out as a mini-film in black and white, starring Welsh actor Rhys Ifans alongside a brief cameo by the band and closing with a whimsical dance of undertakers lip-synced to the song. |

NB . You may wonder what are these “Quotes” attached to certain photos above. Well! For a specific song, we select a still image from the video on one side and choose a lyric from the song on the other side. We ensure that the lyric has a connection to the image, although sometimes the connection may be far-fetched or based on a double entendre, creating a humorous or meme-like combination when the two are merged together. Et voilà!
