Thought Beats: Loud, quick and lo-fi, much like my own song. It includes pop-punk elements as well as classic punk and classic rock. The song is shouted rather than sung, and sound how every ten year old boy dreams to sound whilst flicking his way through pop-art comic books and sipping on cherry slurpees. It's vibrant, energetic and has amusing lyrics.
The visuals are all in key wit the lyrics, especially when the lyrics are shown underneath of images of fast food when Gerard Way chants "Let's blow an artery" and a flashing skull coming towards the camera when "no one wants to die is called out".
There is no narrative or performance: Only images that help punctuate the lyrics to the song and overall feel of the the Killjoy album, which is comic heroes, wastelands, evil corporation and colour outlaws.
Technical Specs: Very little technical specs have been used apart from care and attention too whilst photographing and overlapping various images that appear onscreen such as a party mask and a mannequin's hands that are slowly painted in rainbow colours in a stop-motion style animation. The beats, however, tie in with how the song is cut. For example in the beginning, the 'Na Na Na's' change colour as they're sung.
During the lyrics "Fuck like a Kennedy", a woman's shapely legs are seen poking out of an American flag, as though she's about to step out of the sheet and probably be nude underneath. This literally objectifies women in the midst of the different images and objects.
