I think we need a forensic expert on this one.<br /><br />But I agree, "stealing" can absolutely occur in a music video. For instance, in the clip for "Maneater," the first "oooh!" after the saxophone solo is mouthed by Oates, but I'm pretty sure that Hall is the one who is actually singing it. Thought you could get away with one there, eh Oates?Little Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415022026000282965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-1696224215230593712013-07-09T11:38:08.145-07:002013-07-09T11:38:08.145-07:00An absolutely amazing breakdown, bravo.
I liked h...An absolutely amazing breakdown, bravo.<br /><br />I liked how excited all these inner city kids were to meet... Foreigner. You'd think they were meeting Muhammad Ali or Al Sharpton as they stuck their hands out to perhaps get a shake from one of these guys. Are they really that excited to be meeting a bunch of white dudes playing guitar? But, oh yeah, Martin Luther King and all that stuff.<br /><br />You neglected to mention that that very same group of black kids on the bus morph into a group of middle age black people once they start singing, cause I'm not sure I saw a single kid in that choir.<br /><br />Finally, is it me, or does he 'steal' the woman's "yee-aaah!" at 4:36? It doesn't sound like his, even if he mouths it.Herr Zrbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728690738360128504noreply@blogger.com
