The new video is just released & is a lot of fun. Sophisticated & rebellious at the same time. Multiple Russells looking as cool as ever & Ron up to his same mischief reminding me of 'The Rhythm Thief' video.
The song has really grown on me & for me is the strongest single release they've had in a long time. Good luck to it's success.

| Yeah it's great! We have the "BEURRE" jumper back, and have you seen the bus at the very beginning of the video? It has the TGICIHL album cover on it! |

I think that Russell is wearing his TGICIHL orange striped socks (but I'm not sure.

The crashing piano at the end is like the airplane on the cover of Indiscreet. Also, at some point, Ron is sliding off the piano bench. It reminds me of when he slides of the piano stool during the recording of Something for the Girl with Everything in The Sparks Brothers (Muff Winwood:Great boys! We'll have to put the piano on again because Ronnie fell off the stool.")

Ron trying to play the crashed piano reminds me of the live debut of "Photoshop." One of the arguing Rons looks like he's about to start "The Very Next Fight," though they don't get quite that far this time. |

Re:- the Kermit/Dinky conversation, I have to say I didn’t click the link as I just watch the video on YouTube, so The Ritchie Family comment only made sense once I DID click it.
That’s it, Kermit you’re to steer clear of technology😜 |

You're absolutely right Mr Robertson 😃. Technology was never my favourite subject at school & I enjoyed Art & Music classes more. We all make mistakes sometimes although most not so publicly l must confess. If nothing else there might be a fan somewhere out there who actually really enjoyed that uplifting Ritchie Family track, it is a beautiful slice of romantic Disco at it's very best after all & l'm ok with that. ☺.
