When Bad Videos happen to Good Songs; Deux

Sia | Buttons (Music Video) from Concord Music Group on Vimeo.

I thought it’d be worthwhile in continuing this series of posts, as in the first post about Scream by Timbaland ft Keri Hilson and Nichole Scherzinger being absolutely wacky, and ruining a good song. For part deux, I saw this video last night, as I was watching Sia’s music programming episode of Rage – and after being in awe of her beautiful video with Breathe Me (a song I will never forget as the closing track to Six Feet Under) then comes this. Its called Buttons (and sounding nothing like the Pussycat Dolls’ track with the same name) but.. I had to turn it off. I had to fast forward it. Its bloody disturbing! And how the heck does it even match the song? I can’t even look at it without cringing. So of course, here I am sharing it with you all. To share the pain. Tell me your thoughts on it!

  • Wow, didn't realise this song had been around since 2007! I agree though, what a turn-off! I was saying just yesterday that if I saw La Roux's Bulletproof filmclip before I heard the song, I probably wouldn't like the song at all. The power of visuals!

    I know! She only recently sang it on Rove - remember? (Since her other singles are less Rove-friendly I suppose!) i'll have to check out this La Roux videoclip haha!

    I actually really like it. It reminds me of the stuff you would do as kid. But yes the song is better than the film clip. Pure pop.

    I don't know, I found it SO offputting, but I guess she's just quirky like that. To each their own :)
  • I agree it's disturbing to look at....but that is absolutely the point. She's pleading her lover to walk away because she's crazy...the clip is like "Look at me I'm so crazy, this is what I feel like on the inside" The pegs, the suffocation, the breathing in a bubble...strangled, netted, trapped...whilst I'm not watching again cause my eyes prefer pretty, I think it's a clever clip!

    There ya go..! You did disagree, Caf. LOVE IT! Bahaha, but as I said, I honestly I couldn't even keep watching til the end, I was just turned off by it all. But maybe you have a point.... :)
