Not too bad for a video for this song. The story in this one is about two gay men instead of the Cynthia Lennon walking in on John & Yoko story.

Why the assumption that it's two gay men?

The posture of the couple is rather awkward. If I'm that guy, I wouldn't be too worried.

Better than Numb...

(Just kidding!)

It's cool the actor is dressed just like Neil Tennant.

And I believe it's not about 2 gay man necessarely. It's about a couple, gay or not. I myself have been through that exact situation once.

Nice video, although I like the Integral one better.

What I find pretty remarkable (in a positive way) is how PSB deal with these unofficial videos. They 'quite like' them and even post links on their official websites.

Yes, it's nice to see they arn't getting so worried about possible future legal problems with copyright and see the fact that they give exposure to tracks that otherwise wouldn't be so widely heard.Who knows, with single sales being so bad these days then maybe sites like YouTube will take the place of TOTP's in giving exposure to album tracks in the future.

As far as the video is concerned it's far too literal. It always feels like video's like that take something away from a track, especially as one so emotionally charged as IMMEAL, a bit like when you see a movie of a book you loved. Technically it's excellent for an amateur production tho'.

This Video is so very PSB, the mannerisms are just so Neil or Chris. Absolutley brilliant!!!

I have to admin that this song is the one that I listen to most on Fundamental now and far outways Numb (never thought I hear myself say that!). I had heard the connection between John & Yoko before - but I've always associated the lyrics with the infidelity of relationships - not necessarily Gay or straight and that there is always the injured party. I don't know why but I do also get the feeling that Neil might be describing something which has happened to him in the past - the lyrics seem very personal.

Beautiful song though - and excellent vid.

OK, let's settle this one out:

Hi, I'm Dag Erik (DENMHIF, DENHIF), one of the makers of this video and the man in costume.

I am not gay, this video is straight. I have nothing against gays, I love Pet Shop Boys, their my absolutely favourites, but I am totally straight. I have a girlfriend that I love.

Sonny, the man in the couch is not gay either.

The story is about a man(Me, Dag Erik, the man in costume)that shall propose to the girl (Nina) but finds her together with another man (Sonny). The whole walking is after the proposal. I throw the ring box in the end.

I took a bit of the real story of the song. It's about Cynthia Lennon finding John Lennon and Yoko Ono together: http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm

Thx for the comments
