The video itself was directed by Walter Stern in an abandoned London Underground station at Aldwych. The song highlights the bands violent nature which is why the lyrics are what they are, also because Keith Flint sings at the front of the band it adds to the violent nature.

song lyrics

Erick Baker-My two Left Feet

You look so good when you’re dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when you’re dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life

All your crooked teeth
Make a perfect smile
I’d buy a wall full of clocks 
If it would stop time for awhile
I love to watch your mouth
Move with the words of the songs
And I don’t care 
If they’re right or wrong

You look so good when you’re dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when you’re dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life

Love is like water
Shaped from the shores that it meets
Your delicate fingers
And my two left feet
Me in my stiff Sunday clothes
Pressed starched pants
We’ll keep the light at our backs
And watch our shadows hold hands
Please hold my hand

Because you look so good when your dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when your dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life
Can I have this dance with you
Can I have this dance with you
For the rest of my life

bob dylan- subterranean homesick blues

This video is very famous for being so simple yet so affective. all through the video we see bob dylan throwing cards behind him that have lyrics from the song on it. What also sticks out about this video is that at one point he messes up with the cards but because he is so cool it just styles so well with the song and it was filmed in one shot unplanned, spur of the moment down an alley at the hotel they was staying at.
