Sam Sparro's 'Black & Gold' video features blackness and goldness

  • February 5, 2008
  • Popjustice

So this is Sam Sparro's 'Black & Gold' video. There is blackness sur­round­ing him for a lot of it and there is also some gold stuff eg a nice goblet thing. 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW2cH68TXc4

It's all very low budget and taste­m­akery, isn't it? Do you feel your tastes being made? Perhaps if/when they semi-inev­it­ably re-release 'Black & Gold' in about eight months with a view to it going into the Top 10 they could make a video featuring other things which are black and gold. Cats are occa­sion­ally black, for example. Coins are occa­sion­ally gold. 

Alternatively they could go for the 'black gold' angle, get loads of oil delivered and use Sam to recreate Christina Milian's utterly humi­li­at­ing and misogytastic 'Dip It Low' video.

The pos­sib­il­it­ies are endless.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
This is not the new video, it's the old one from
when it was out last year, we are stupid etc etc.
