Now playing in my head

Yesterday I found a link to a stick man animation of the music video to Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice", and it's superb. A bonus is that it reminded me of the original music video which features Christopher Walken tapdancing and is quite possibly my favourite music video ever, although "Let Forever Be" by The Chemical Brothers would be a close second.

The title of "Cathy's favourite music video" isn't actually as impressive as it sounds because I barely ever see any - in fact, I have no idea how I originally saw the Weapon Of Choice video seeing as I'd stopped watching Top Of The Pops by then. I hadn't seen it in ages, so yesterday I downloaded it and watched it about a dozen times (and yes, of course I was geeky enough to play it simultaneously and side by side with the stick man one - what do you take me for?).

The drawback of this was that, while I don't mind the music it's not hugely to my taste, and of course I had it playing in my head for about ten hours yesterday. I tried playing some of the American Beauty soundtrack at it when I was trying to get to sleep, but it remained resolutely stuck there. And this morning, when I had the chance of peace and quiet in my head, what did I do? Do you think that (a) I stayed away from the music video, or (b) I headed straight for the URI in question to watch it again?

Honestly, I find that video so addictive, and I don't know why... I don't believe I'll ever get tired of watching it.

While I'm doing spurious linking, go and look at the Framley Examiner, the funniest and, in fact, only (as far as I know) spoof local newspaper. It's the small ads that always get me:
