humour, through the use of characters and costumes (story characters are the band members

lots of girls

humorous dance

club theme, 80s costume, white suit and glasses

Song and Video

Six feet under the stars

Humorous people auditioning (including members of the band) such as Michael Jackson, cheerleader, scout leader etc.

3 judges, a girl, 80s man, another man (humorous)

Band performing song although is still in the story

Girl judge walking towards the camera with fan blowing hair (cliché, cheesy)

Song and Video

Dear Maria, count me in

Another modern club theme

Separate story and the band playing

A girl pole dancing, less sleazy however

Band also the characters in the story (humorous 80s)

The characters at one end of the stage and the real band at the other end both trying to get the girls attention

A monkey climbs up the pole in a nappy (humour)

The band front man and the character version of him come face to face and fight over the girl

The band gets the girl and the monkey in the end.

Song and Video

Sports competition between the band and a group of young girls

Separate story and band playing

Band playing in different places, in a toilet and in a sauna, drummer miming the drums other with guitar

The young girl team are really good and the band are not good at all

Song by another band with similar video layout

Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag

-separate story and band playing

-story of a nerd who likes a girl but she has a boyfriend who bullies him

-starts with the boyfriends car running over the nerds bike

-nerd gets pushed to the floor in a busy school corridor whilst the girl walks off with her boyfriend

-nerd sits on a table at lunch by himself with a sign saying ‘Loser’ behind him.

-band plays in a school sports gym which links the story and the band together also in a corridor with a crowd of people behind them dancing. The band also come into the story and plays at the prom

-ends with prom night and nerd is sat at table with 2 other nerds and girl mimes the song whilst walking over to him in slow motion

-ends with them dancing (happy ending)

-story is played by the lyrics of the song, also quite humorous.
