Bowler hats at the ready: it's the new The Feeling video

  • July 21, 2008
  • Popjustice


The Feeling's next single is the single that should have been the last one, ie the one that's on the tele­vi­sion all the time in that Toyota advertisement.

Having tra­gic­ally used up all their Lilliputian 'magic' in the 'Fill My Little World' video ('little world' — they don't just throw these things together you know) the band have been unable to recreate the Toyota ad's inter­est­ing 'band in glove com­part­ment' concept and have instead gone for a Carry On Merchant Ivory theme. Although it is probably actually 'homaging' something we are not clever enough (trans: don't sit through boring films enough) to understand. 

Among the sights:

» The Feeling on bikes.
» The Feeling in a sad but hilarious bicycle crash — the lighter side of road traffic accidents.
» The Feeling eating ice creams.
» The Feeling having clearly thought, "do you know what, this comeback album's a roaring success, let's spunk a load of cash on a pleasant but in terms of expense vs overall effect not entirely cost efficient fair­ground scene".
» The End.

Well done The Feeling on making a quite good video for a quite good song.
