Around the World, Part 2

Ok so no one responded to the preceeding question but I am still going to provide the answer. There are five instruments in the song "Around the World" and as Gondry began thinking about how to make a video for it, he started to envision each instrument as a type of person. Here is what he had to say: "Bass: athletes with small heads and big legs, because they are hysical, move constantly, and have no time to think; Guitar: skeletons, because it sounds scratchy; Synthesizer: disco girls, because it sounds feminine; Vocoder (the vocals): Robots, its obvious why; Drum machine: Mummies, please don't ask why, but its a very removed meaning of association between M. Jackson (my hero) and what he did to himself." From here, he combined these characters into dance moves that both mimiced their sounds and intertwined with the other characters in a way to make them all overlap.
