3. Fatboy Slim – Praise You
The lyrics have no connection to the actions taking place in the video, this contradicts
the quote from Andrew Goodwin. The whole video is of people dancing in a
group, there is also an audience around them. However, they are in a unusual location.

5. Keri Hilson – Knock You Down
The video is a literal interpretation of the lyrics, the lyrics you hear is what you will
see on screen or something that represents this. For example, as they say ‘knock you
down’ you see someone falling on screen.
6. After analysing two music videos, I agree with the
statement that ‘music videos are simply an extension
of the lyrics’ to an extent. However, some music
videos do break down the boundaries and do not
make sense when you compare the lyrics to the
video, but people like this. It can make a music video
memorable and in some cases legendary such as, I
Want To Break Free – Queen. But there are music
videos that do support and agree with this statement
and these are just as successful. Therefore I agree
with this statement but not entirely.
