Monkey Business Official Video

[davee]

I just spotted Youtube recommending me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPx8P8pcrdA which as of right now (midday Wednesday 22.01.2020) says "Premieres 23/01/20, 17:00"

[Future Lover]

Thanks for sharing, I wonder what it will be like, since the spoilers I've heard are ridiculously funny.

[drunk14]

There is some chance for this video as Chris is going to be (at least) visible, right? I don't know other spoilers, but hopefully it will be enjoyable, just like "Wast it Worth It?".

Maybe I am old fashioned, but on last Monday an information surfaced that they had filmed a video two days earlier. So tomorrow is the fifht day after the date of filming? Is it possible to prepare and edit a good video in such a short time? I am not an film maker...

[leesmapman]

Depends... A 5 minute video is easily doable in a week. Especially when you have done some good pre-production. It all depends on the storyboard. Also, they themselves were filmed, maybe there already was plenty of already edited material.

[drunk14]

I just want it to have a glitter, after all of these miserable videos since....hmm... Love Etc. (it's animated, so it doesn't count properly)...hmm...Minimal? Yeah, I think Minimal was the last nice video. Simple but elegant.

[Sage]

Beat me to it.
Yes there's an official music video and a live premiere on the album's release!

The video is described in the Gaydio interview. It actually includes Neil & Chris, apparently!
I'm glad to see them doing any form of promotion, and it's a nice surprise this is releasing with the album rather than the single.

Where's this info about them filming last Monday?

I don't see why it would have to take more than 5 days post production, can't be that hard surely. Especially when it's a music video you're only editing the film and not the sound. If it's all plotted out before filming then it's a matter of piecing together as planned.
Also "good" is subjective. I personally don't find advanced and complicated videos good at all, I find them abrasive to the senses if anything. Less editing time=more simplistic video, maybe? It's a day away so speculation isn't really worthwhile.

That cast is huge!

That cast is huge!

Yeah, look at the description.
It reveals the lyrics too.

Monkey Business Lyrics:
I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
and look what I found

Everybody get on board
I'm back in town
and I'm not leaving
’til the last joint has shut down
People tell me I'm a legend
round these parts
I start the party
and I end up breaking hearts

Bring me margaritas
champagne and red wine
We’re gonna have a party
where we all cross the line

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
and look what I found

I’m not dealing with the real world
anymore
Been there, done that, came back
and I know the score

Flew in from the city
Just got into town
Checked into a new place
I can’t seem to settle down

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
and look what I found

I’m here on funky business
Just playing around
I’m here on funky business
Look what I found

There are diamonds in the sky
that shine for me
Gonna pick them one by one
I guarantee

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
Look what I found
Just playing around

Hanging from the rafters
I’m a chimpanzee
What I do for afters
you’ll just have to wait and see

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around

Bring me margaritas
champagne and red wine
We’re gonna to have a party
where we all cross the line

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around
I’m here on monkey business
and look what I found

Entered by the back door
Straight into the bar
Checking out the dance floor
Well I like who you are

I’m looking for monkey business
Just playing around

Produced by Fred Bonham Carter. Related, maybe, to Helena Bonham Carter?

I am happy that the video is for full album version as it includes additional lyrics.

I have just seen the name of the video director. Very renowned person! I like many of his work!

As I said

I think there is a proper video (maybe with the full version of the song) on the way, this is the main single from Hotspot (because it works to introduce the album). I don't think they are going to put a single cover and that's all. You know, there is not a lyric video.

And I said on another post (I can't find it now ), I thought they'd go for the full album version. I thought PSB would realize fans wanted to listen the full version, there is no need to play only the edit version and it's a good way to show the album.

I'm starting to think they read my mind.

[drunk14]

nickname, tell me:

Will I get money in PROM competition to finance my research trip to Singapore?
WIll I be able to finish my PhD this year?
Will someone sell my one ticket for OMD show in Kraków, because they're sold out right now and I want a standing place?
Is there any chance that my friendship with Ania evolve in relationship despite our complicated history? I miss her when she is in Georgia.

I will forgive you any furtert poll if there are right answers.

[Wish]

Is there any chance that my friendship with Ania evolve in relationship despite our complicated history? I miss her when she is in Georgia.

I'll go to Georgia in a couple months. If you need some help with Ania, please let me know. I will be with my wife so don't worry!

[tottenhammattspurs]

Am I right in thinking this is the first non-lyric video since Thursday in 2013?
