The song's not lame at all. Mediocre, perhaps, but not lame.
 
It's just that the advertisement seems rather grandiose in comparison to the product. Kind of like iPhone ads.

Just curious.  What, exactly, makes it a lame song?
 

It's actually quite a catchy tune, but the production is horrible...in my humble old farty opinion.

Check this out.
 

Hi,
 
Hmmmm .... cute ... can I go to sleep now?

Ummm.. What were they selling?  You said advertisement...
 
Edit:  Was really cool watching the "how they did it" vid as well.
Thanks Dave for sharing that one... Now what were they selling again?

That's my feeling about this band, yeah. They're not bad. They're enjoyable enough. If I was at a festival and they came on, I'd probably stick around and watch the set. You know, that kind of level.
 
But they are off-the-scale brilliant at making videos. I wonder if they ever make them for other acts. That's probably what they'd be best off doing.

I imagine people have seen this before, but I love this one. Lacks the "oh wow zero G" factor of the new one, but I think is actually more impressive. The complexity of the set up is mind boggling.
