Close But No Cigar

Hey, anyone notice that the names of all three of the women in the song - Jillian, Janet, and Julie all start with the letter "J?" I wonder if there's any significance to this.

I love that about John K's videos. I especially like the part where Jillian is talking and the cat's head is bobbing up and down with the music. Also the part where Julie is dancing at the beginning of her verse, lifting her Manolo (which by the way I didn't know what it was until I heard this song and then looked it up) up and down.

I don't know why, but I find those parts hilarious. Am I the only one?

Yeah, I've noticed that too, Jeremy. It is pretty funny. I find it funny when Julie is dancing during the "world famous billionaire supermodel astrophysicist" line too. It just shows how much attention to detail both Al and John K. put into this video.

Yeah. I watched this video the whole time through for the first time with my friend Layne today, and a few parts made us go "WHOA"... it definitely had its pervy moments, haha, but it's a cute video overall.

So, Jeremy, is a Manolo a shoe? I dunno, I don't understand some of the imagery in the video, but I love the song. Funky and danceable!

psst, Rai, the line is "Are we playin' horseshoes, honey"

Oh, thanks. I wrote the sig after I'd only heard it once or twice, haha.

Yeah, it's a shoe. =)

Thanks, Rai. I looked it up, and the search results were kinda vague, but I assumed a Manolo was a shoe based on what came up.

I'll have to look for the Manolo next time I watch the vid...

I'm glad others have noticed the synchronicity of video to song. John K. is absolutely brilliant, and after seeing this video, it's easily my favorite. Having that imagery to think about every time I hear the song has dragged it up to being one of my favorite songs on the album..I think I couldn't appreciate it fully till I saw the jiggly bits...if that makes any sense...it gives the song a whole new "vibe" if you will..

You know, there's one moment of the video that's simply the single best moment for me, animation-wise. Look at the animation of Julie's face during the scene where Charlize Theron blows up. There's so much expression and emotion on her face, it's amazing.

What about the part where he bites off Julie's face?

Or the butt hug... or how Julie dances on the astrophysicist part...

I think all those parts are just animated hilariously. John K. is my hero.

For some reason, this part never fails to make me laugh.

John K. is a genius.
