Lyrics
"Club Foot"

One...take control of me?
Yer messing with the enemy
Said its 2..it's another trick
Messin with my mind, I wake up
Chase down an empty street
Blindly snap the broken beats
Said it's cut with a dirty trick
Its taken all these days to find ya
I tell you I want you
I tell you I need you

friends, take control of me
Stalking cross' the gallery
All these pills got to operate
The colour quits and all invade us
There he goes again
Take me to the edge again
All I got is a dirty trick
I'm chasin down the wolves to save ya

I tell you I want you
I'll tell you I need you
I... the blood aint on my face
Just wanted you near me

I tell you I want you
I'll tell you I need you
The blood aint on my hands

Just wanted you near me

I tell you I want you
I'll tell you I need you
The blood aint on my hands

Just wanted you near me

I can't believe this footage is from ads! You've made it look like some kind of seriously cracked out movie. Which I'd totally watch in a heartbeat.

So awesome! You've gone and made hilarious ads incredibly dark and sinister. The strobe-y section is so creepy. This totally looks like some kind of horror movie, until I remember that I've *seen* that ad and he's pretending to be a deer, and then it's hilarious again. Crack in the best way!

And if I find it independently hilarious that Mayhem is Charley Dixon and thus in love with Sarah Connor, I'll just laugh to myself about it. :D

From: [personal profile] nicole_anell
I... I'm seriously gobsmacked right now that I never realized that was the same actor. I've always recognized him as one of Liz's exes on "30 Rock". MAYHEM/DENNIS WAS CHARLEY?! Holy crap.

YES! MAYHEM IS NOSTALGICALLY IN LOVE WITH SARAH CONNOR.

I have a whole fandom in my head about it. Because REALLY. MAYHEM/SARAH CONNOR.

/irrelevant comment. Still loving the vid! :D

Mayhem was also one of the main characters in the TV series OZ :) well, not Mahyem, but Dean Winters, as Ryan O'Reily :)

Holy crap this is great! Really well edited, it looks a bit like a David Lynch movie, with that combination of cracked out, slightly off, violent edge to it. I loved this vid!

Oh my god, that's an absolutely perfect descriptor -- like a David Lynch movie. I can't stop watching this, and it just makes me laugh and laugh, yet there's that slightly sinister edge to it. I can't believe how lucky I am to get this!

This feels like a glimpse into a sprawling, epic story of an uncontainable force -- playful, capricious, and more dangerous than you can possibly imagine...

This is amazing! I don't recognize some of these ads, though. Why haven't I seen them all?

The music is amazing and the clips are perfect. Loved the strobe section. Fantastic!

Creepy and compelling. I find that it's hard to look away and I don't really want to, since I don't know what he'll do next! Well done!

This is hilarious and creepy and foreboding and it makes the ads seem like one of those films you don't really realize are horror until halfway through, and seriously, this is just fantastic.

From: [personal profile] liviapenn

AMAZING. It really does look like a movie! Or like one seriously coherent source. And I don't know why, but I totally LOLed at :52 where after a couple of really serious dark clips he's just... spitting out bits of seat cushion(?) or whatever that is. *shakes head* Also, best song choice ever.

Wow. I haven't seen the ads, but people are always talking about them. I was assuming this would be goofy. But no: you actually made it really freaky. Yikes! I agree with the other comments: it totally looks like some whacked out horror movie.

From: [personal profile] thirdblindmouse
I never realized how dark and serious these commercials were. This is one of the deepest festivids of the year. The societal implications alone...

Alternatively, this is a vid of an epic movie about an ancient conspiracy. Which I would watch.

This must be an amazing film, or tv series, about some mad crazy god of chaos who goes around ruining folks' days.... tv commercials?! Amazing. The creepiness, malicious and playful, was really cool.

Wow, this is amazing. I can't believe how fabulously creepy you managed to make these ridiculous commercials that I love; the strobe section was pure unadulterated genius, and freaked me right out in the best possible way. ♥
