POSSIBLE SONG CHOICE ANALYSIS

Build Me Up Buttercup- The Foundations

This would be a subversive video in conjunction to the images shown on the screen which features the zombie sequences because this song is one of which holds a jolly and happy nature.

It holds a catchy and generic chorus for the audience to sing along too.

This song will enhance the value of comedy in the video because it will easily set the scene of a jokey nature.

Chorus

why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby

Just to let me down (let me down)and mess me around

And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby

When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'

You know that I have from the start

So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

This chorus is most famously known for its use in the film ‘There’s something about Mary’-1998.

It acted as the films soundtrack. The film was a comedy and therefore the

soundtrack usually, nostalgically, brings up memorable moments in the film which brings back humorous events.

Therefore through this the song naturally sets up scenes for comedy.

There’s already a music video for this song, it uses characters from the film who all lip sync throughout the duration of the video, using the characters from the film means that a relationship between the audience and song has already been made and makes the viewing all that much more personal.

Invaders must die-The Prodigy

This song already has an existing music video.

Our zombie idea is completely different to the already existing video, although the produced video by Prodigy enforces there stereotypical image by having our music video idea for the this song would make it even more popular because it contrasts what The Prodigy have done in the past and grip current fans for doing something new and perhaps draw some new attention from else where.

This song lacks the content of lyrics and therefore the use of drum and bass in the song would accompany the pace of the music video as we plan it to be of a fast nature.

The song would re-enforce the pace of the video and visa versa.

The song and video would compliment each other.

The effect of the “Punk’d” aspect at the end of the video will create an almost oxymoron between the song and video however, and create not only a sense of humour but also the seriousness of the song will be enhanced.

Contact- Foreign Beggars

This song is of a more underground nature. Meaning its not in mainstream circulation where is

receives radio and televised recognition yet. Therefore a music video would only be featured on video

sites such as www.Youtube.com There’s no video for this song yet so originality is

possible. Other video’s already made by this group consist of two

main groupings;-Performance based

-Comic value Therfore our music video would suit the already

established image of “Foreign Beggars” The style of song is rap and hip-hop.

We should bang my noze- Zombie disco squad

Alike Foreign Beggars, Zombie Disco Squad are not in mainstream music making it possible to establish an image suitable for the band.

There’s no video for this song so it will be completely original.

This song is of a dance nature but filtered through it are lyrics that hold a semantic and lexical choice of zombies and the supernatural making it a perfect choice the zombie music video.

Withcraft- Pendulum

This song already has a music video which consists of heavy amounts of CGI and computer generated editing.

This type of video fits the image created by Pendulum off their new album, “Immersion-2010”.

However, our video would suit this song and Pendulums image due to their past video’s such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWnpwV63KiY
