Around the World explained
January 20, 2008After posting the Around the World video yesterday I found this mind blowing video of Michel Gondry explaining everything that’s going on.
The five characters represent the five elements of the song:
- Tall Men = Bass
- Mummies = Drums
- Disco Girls* = Keyboard
- Skeletons = Guitar
- Astronauts = Vocals
The different elements of the stage have different meanings as well. The complexity is just incredible.
Did anybody notice this on their own?
*Michel calls them “disco girls.” They look like synchronized swimmers to me.
