This song is a post modernism music video due to the fact that it uses the film 'Barbarella' as an influence for the video. This video uses the sci-fi theme of the film to make a parody video. This is shown in the still to the right as it shows the singer picking up an obviously fake boulder for a few minutes and then he throws it away. This is quite funny as he does so in quite a dramatic and carefree way.
These two shots are similar in a way as they are both lying down in a similar way, wearing strange clothes which suggest an intertextual link between the two images. This shows the singer portraying the main character in the film 'Barbarella' in the way he is positioned and dressed. This further illustrates that the video is a parody of the film due to the fact that a male is acting as a stereotypical female character who would have likely to have had sex appeal and this is not something you would usually see in anything other than a parody.
This shot shows a giant red octopus-like creature attacking the spaceship. This is done in a light-hearted sort of fashion which makes the audience realise that they are not taking the video seriously or are they in real danger. This suits the atmosphere of the video and song as it is upbeat and happy.
This shot adds to the parody element of the video as the singer is on a different world with a giant crap-like creature and what he does is gives the camera a thumbs up. This shows that the video isn't all that serious as if it was then he would be fighting the creature in some sort of heroic way rather than not taking it seriously and giving a thumbs up.
