Aw, this *was* fun! All of the scenes you found to match the lyrics were perfect!

Hi, and thank you! (Still not quite caught up yet, need to read the rest of your trip posts *g*)

BOYS! This was all kinds of adorable. ♥ ♥ ♥

And I laughed for real at the "boys check you out" line with Andrew Scott. :D

[drinkingcocoa]

I laughed then, too! This was such fun.

Thanks for watching! Hope you're doing better now after your Trying Time ;)

[daasgrrl]

LOL, thank you for watching! Delighted it made you laugh ♥

You, you are...

Oh, you went and did it and OMFG it is marvellous. It is way, way better than I'd imagined it in my head. The scenes fitted the lines perfectly, the line about the uniforms and boys checking you out, and cloning and getting a girl. And clothes always fit ya and oh God, they do.
I love the way you've sequenced the scenes together (if that's the correct expression), it all just flows along beautifully.
I must confess, this is at least as good as David's video to go with the song.

M.A.R.V.E.L.L.O.U.S.

Thank you so much for doing this! I will watch it again and again.

Yay! I have to say the beginning and end were a bit tricky, because the bloody song doesn't go anywhere, it just dissolves into that massive guitar solo which I hadn't counted on. But the rest of it was really fun. Very pleased you liked it!

Thank you for the truly marvellous idea. I think this is the first time anyone's ever managed to suggest a song that's grabbed me enough to really want to do it :)

Happy little dance going on here.

Actually, I do like that long slide so much and you solved the problem beautifully.

Well, Bowie and Sherlock are both exceptional so I was convinced they'd make for a great combination.

Well done, you! and thank you again!

Oh, this is lovely! So much fun. They really don't grow up, do they. :)

*laughing so hard at the "cherry" scene with Irene...hee hee hee*

They're adorable - it was nice to try a vid that was just fun. That song really does lend itself to a variety of interpretations, lol. Thank you for watching :)

Eee, that was lots of fun! Great choice of scenes to match the lyrics. :D

[daasgrrl]

Oooh, icon! I feel remiss that I don't even have one, despite being a fan from way back. I'm pleased you enjoyed it, thank you :D
