'We're like worms'

  • November 8, 2007
  • Popjustice

Why do people listen to slow songs at Christmas? Perhaps with all the hysteria people need something to keep them calm, so big ballads about breaking up with your 'respect­ive other' are the order of the day for the next two months.

The next Sugababes single, for example, is 'Change' and it is a slow song about the afore­men­tioned break-up thing. Here is a short video of the Sugababes 'behind the scenes' of the 'Change' video. In it Amelle has flu, Keisha likens the band to worms and Heidi almost compares Sugababes to cock­roaches in a garbled, half-cocked tale of 'an explosion'.

Ta and da.
