I thought that was the point?

That was the point. And I found it funny.
I am hoping it was at least meant to be funny.

Am I the only one having a problem with everything music on Myspace? It's driving me mad. It wouldn't even load for me. Even after hearing it's a mess, I still want to see it.

Rg, Myspace.

Edit: At least they all have perfect eyelights. Growl.

Goodness gracious, Myspace likes to make it near impossible to save the videos. I was able to rip it though, and I put it up on my site. I also converted it to Quicktime/iPod video for the Mac people.

Dude, you're awesome. I was worried i'll never see this hated version ever.

EDIT: k so I saw the video for the first time ever. I kinda liked the dialogue, as it gave it that cheesey 50s movie feel. I'm sure subtitles would be fine though.

And I really enjoyed the shot of Sherri pressing the pedal, but I question the timing it was used in regards to the song and considering the speed at which she's playing immediately after the slowed-down visual. I think that made sense.

how come the song itself is different? stacy plays a different note around 1:35 in the video.


I think its the same note but sounds different from compression and the like.

I felt like this when watching it:

Confused Shocked Question Question Question Shocked Confused

What does space have to do with this song? I always thought about IWP as a song about losing someone. Death or even just breaking up with someone. Really weird. Really. Atleast Telescope Eyes had them in a house, in their rooms playing music.

i love the video, but definitely can't wait to see the version without the actor's voices. actually, if they cut the actors out entirely that would work for me. they should have used the members of eisley to play those roles.

the highlight for me is when stacy starts singing- wow.

I was totally prepared to hate this. IWP has a special place in my heart (see Katrina video sticky).
Actually, I liked it a lot. I saw Eisley as the house band in a space port bar. (More people in the bar would have worked better). Dialogue and zooming in on personal conversations is the normal thing to do in bar scenes.
Mos Eisley teases and subtle references would have been cool.
Also...the space suit was very old fashioned for whatever future this was.
The band looked fabulous. They look more adult.
Interesting.
The song works with whatever. Because the song is the best song ever.

Having space bees trace your lovely's face in pollen with a single word can only be done with mastery over the Force.

All I have to say is:

They better get the 'real' video up quick, before too many people go "wtf, eisley? They're weiiiiiiiirds"
