[MusicalDeviant]

It was Sam Bayer - he's the one who got a camera and shot the entire thing.

Right, that hack. He is a hack, btw. HACK. And from what I hear a real douchebag.

LOL this pretty much sums it up for me

[Punk_Rocker_Guy]

i dont like

[AdelineGrenades]

Despite the fact that it is sort of boring, it isn't complete trash. The video's pretty simple, but then again, Whatsername wasn't a complex character in AI's story line. She was the background character who set Jimmy straight. I think the video pretty much suits her, and to be honest, it's one of my favorite videos.

[green-day1972]

Whatsername looks like Lady GaGa [huhuh...]

the video is really, really, really, boring !!!

[AleKerplunk]

Whatsername looks like Lady GaGa [huhuh...]

the video is really, really, really, boring !!!

yeah I thought the same thing yesterday when I finally decided to watch the video.

but... Whatsername is the same girl who was in the video of "Jesus of suburbia"? :/

[Anko]

So the entire video is her humping a wall?

What the hell

[leacalifornia]

oh thats an unfortunate video....

It would've been cooler if it was the band playing the song and maybe just short clips of the chick every once in a while....

but her the whole time?? :/ meh.

[Conspiracy.]

I hate it that she's "singing" the sing, well actually moving her lips to it. It looks so unnatural.. :/

edit: oh wow, my first page own!!

Woah! The thread has been brought back to life!

Quick question to anyone who read my idea months ago- I got a digital camera, which once can record videos on. Does anyone want me to attempt to film my idea? Then again, St.JimmyLied's video is OMG AMAZING. (I'm not trying to one up your video at all.) If anyone wants me to, let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

[Angela.]

^ Thank you. And I say go for it, record your idea and see how you do.

YESS!! Might take me a little while, but I'm gonna do it! W00T!

[Angela.]

That's great! What's your video concept? I'm sure it will turn out a lot better than the official video. Then again, it doesn't take much to top that video.

I'm gonna quote myself.

I think that this video was badly made, and could've been made differently. I mean seriously! Rolling on the ground drunk?!?! I'm going to state my interpretation of the song, and what the video could've been in my opinion.

These are the lyrics-

*Note- I know we all have them memorised...humor me for a second...*

Whatsername-

Thought I ran into you down on the street

Then it turned out to only be a dream

I made a point to burn all of the photographs

She went away and then I took a different path

I remember the face but I can't recall the name

Now I wonder how Whatsername has been

Seems that she disappeared without a trace

Did she ever marry old what's his face?

I made a point to burn all of the photographs

She went away and then I took a different path

I remember the face but I can't recall the name

Now I wonder how Whatsername has been

Remember, whatever

It seems like forever ago

Remember, whatever

It seems like forever ago

The regrets are useless

In my mind

She's in my head

I must confess

The regrets are useless

In my mind

She's in my head

From so long ago

And in the darkest night

If my memory serves me right

I'll never turn back time

Forgetting you, but not the time

Okay, so those are the lyrics.

The video has NOTHING to do with these lyrics. NOTHING! The video is just Whatsername rolling around, posing for the camera, and acting...*I hate to use this word*...slutty. Yea, this wasn't how I imagined her either. I imagined a girl looking like a more female version of the Jesus of Suburbia. Well, this wasn't the absolute best visual description of her, but I guess it can work.

When I first heard the song, many years ago, this is what I envisioned:

J.O.S., in his room, staring at a photo tacked to his wall. It's a photo of him and Whatsername, except her face is scratched out. He's racking his brain, trying to remember the the face and the name. Slowly, he replays the past months in his mind. We see the memories they shared- A friendship...a love...a fight...a falling out. J.O.S. burns all off the photographs that share her face. Months later, he finds one. He stares at it, and is about to burn it with his lighter. As the corner is burning, he realizes that what doesn't kill him, will only make him stronger. He puts out the flame with the beer nearby, and tacks the photo to his wall. He doesn't want to remember her face, even though it's ingrained in his mind. He scratches it out with a paper clip, and walks out of the room.

Now, it's the present. He's walking out of the 7-11, and sees a girl walking across the street. He recognizes her, knows that he knows her/knew her, but can't pin a name to the face. He decides to give her a new name- Whatsername.

Weeks later, he's still thinking about the girl he saw. He's walking past the spot on his wall where the photo is tacked, and the realization that it was her, hits him. Part of him misses her, but he knows he will never again see her. At the very end, he takes the picture down, and throws it in the trash, with the camera close-up on her scratched out face.

What do you guys think of it?

[Angela.]

Ah, I remember that now. Good luck with recording it!
