The music video for Blur's song "Parklife" features actor Phil Daniels lip syncing the lyrics while driving around London. Though unconventional for a music video at the time, the abstract style fits with the Britpop genre. Various shots reference the lyrics, like a jogger mentioned in the words. While humorous, Daniels is the clear focus instead of the band. The upbeat tempo matches the fast-paced visuals, and colors occasionally sync with the music. The video parodies common music video tropes through exaggerated elements.

5. Another example is when Phil Daniels says “It’s not about you joggers who go round, and around, and around” and a shot featuring a jogger, in the background, running past the window of their car is shown. This is combined with a mid-shot of the jogger running and then a long shot using trick photography and crosscutting. The jogger is band member Graham Coxon.
