Talk:Song for Shelter/Ya Mama

Untitled

What is the name of the three actors used in the music video Ya Mama? They have appeared on many pause film clips on MTV in 1999 - 2000. 84.211.137.122 (talk) 21:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think a frame-by-frame account of the music video is necessary is it? 86.2.244.165 (talk) 20:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the portion of unncecessary character study of the music video. I will put it here if someone objects.Thisnamestaken (talk) 00:48, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The video is set in a Caribbean island, Carriacou, Grenada. Three white men share a poor house and live in quite dirty conditions. When the video begins, they are watching a Tom & Jerry cartoon on TV, whose dialogues can be clearly heard. One of them receives a letter by post, containing an unlabeled tape. As he continues his painting activity, he puts on the headphones and plays the tape. The music by Fatboy Slim starts. A few seconds later, his arm starts some uncontrolled movements which make all the objects he was painting fall. He manages to stop the tape. The music stops and we hear the cartoon again. He the decides to play the tape on the sound system of the house. The song is heard again and his two friends enter too in chaotic uncontrolled movements which lead them to break unwillingly many things in the house, even a wooden wall. They stop the music again. At that point, the one that got the tape in the first place, says: "I have an idea. We'll be rich... With this!".

They jump into their van and go downtown, playing the music once again on the car's sound system. From that moment, the song is not interrupted again for the watchers of the video, even though the tape in the video is not always played. The uncontrolled movements continue in the car. They manage to get to the market and boldly dismiss one of the sellers to take possession of his stand and create their own, called "Push the tempo". They play the tape in a walkman and for one dollar, people can listen to it, which creates amusing situations (all the food they bought and hold in their arms falls and is broken).

At a given point, a rapper comes up, takes the tape out of the walkman and plays it on a boombox. The scene predictably becomes chaotic, where everyone is destroying everything around them. The noise reaches the police who then intervene (the chief of the police burns his hands since the music reaches him while he was serving coffee). They capture the leader of the three main characters (the other two can flee and even participate in his being caught) and lead him to the prison. In the last scene, the chief of the police puts on the headphones and listens to the music, entering in a non-desired uncontrolled dance.

Moguai?

There is clearly a version with MOGUAI in it. 184.145.100.115 (talk) 20:45, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
