Developed idea for 'Too Famous to Get Fully Dressed'

Our idea for this song is to show a nerdy teenager who wants to be known by everyone and wants to be famous. In the video you see everyday events that he goes through during the day, you see the normal events and then you see what he wants to see. The colour for the real events are all dull and grey colours but when it switches to what the boy wants to see it changes to bright and cheerful colours. This emphasises the difference between his imagination and the real life boring events. For example, when he picks the post up off his doormat the only mail he has is bills, however, he sees it as fan mail and, when he leaves the house, the people in the street he sees as clamoring fans and media photographers.

The video starts with the boy waking up and going downstairs in his jammies. There are some bills on his doormat but when he looks they turn into fan-mail. There are other contrasts for instance, the freebies in his cereal turns into real precious items for example a toy plastic ring turns into a real one. He also looks in the mirror you see a nerdy looking kid with a ski hat on, taken from the line talking about the ski cap, and when you see his version he looks like a popular kid.

The boy leaves his house and the contrasts continue. His rubbish car turns into a nice expensive car. His wallet is actually empty, but when he looks he sees it filled with money. The line 'i remember my first beer' it changed from the boy in normal view drinking a glass of milk to the popular side drinking beer.

The video ends with the boy going back home, sitting down in what looks like a nice, modern, expensive room and suddenly the shot changes to show him in a run down room thats all dirty and grubby.

Lyrics

1.Butch walker- Too famous to get dressed

that was a helluva party last night
i cant believe i helped you break up a fight
trust fund kids should stay away from clubs
i remember my first beer too
i coulda used a little more to do
the conversations got snorted
and i cant find my shoes
so lets go to the coffee shop
dressed like we are
and make people think (its what we do)
all day, we sing la la la
all night we go blah blah blah
all morning we just yawn a lot lot lot
yeah it makes ya look better
when you look like u got nothin better to do
god your hair is a fucking mess
so hurry put on a ski cap, and maybe a vest
just try kinda hard to make
it not look like ya tried at all
i know a place with a line outside
where we can maybe get a table
sitting side by side
we can listen to the conversations
like flies on the wall

I'd like to get to know you, baby
Touch me, touching you
If that's what you want to do
You have to touch me, touching you

Gonna touch you, baby [x3]
Baby, gonna touch you, baby
Gonna touch you, baby

3.We're from Barcelona-I'm from barcelona

I'm gonna sing this song with all of my friends
and we're I'm from Barcelona
Love is a feeling that we don't understand
but we're gonna give it to ya
We'll aim for the stars
We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love
You'll be one of us when the night comes
I'm gonna sing this song with all of my friends
and we're I'm from Barcelona
Love is a feeling that we don't understand
but we're gonna give it to ya
We'll aim for the stars
We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love
You'll be one of us when the night comes

Top 3 songs

1. Too Famous To Get Fully Dressed - Butch Walker & The lets go out tonight's.
Our idea for this song is a day in the life of an man who sees his life and pictures everything as him being famous and rich in contrast. An example of what we might include in our video is you (first person of the main character) sees a mob of photographers getting pictures of him, however you see in real life afterwards that it is a bunch of yobs beating him up. The idea we are thinking of creating our video around is similar to the video from 'LDN by Lily Allen'. This is the link to the Lily Allen video.


2. Touch Me Touching You - Alphabeat.
Fun video containing 2 main characters on a story with people in the background doing a dance routine. Retro. Main characters in video are 1 man and 1 woman. Story of an old couple reminiscing their past love life. You see the flashback as them being teenagers. Carefree. References of touching (in the dance routines aswell). When you see the performance and the dancers in the background, the screen changes colours and flashes bright colours.


3. We're From Barcelona - I'm From Barcelona.
Our idea for this video is to have a chorus of people singing in a variety of different locations. The shots will flick between the different locations to create a happy and joyful atmosphere.
