Creepy

I do not consider Scarlet's "Independent Love Song" creepy, cuz why should I it was the song for Bed of Roses. Here are the lyrics for those who don't know or remember the song:

You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we had
Isn't big or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way

You might say this is another boring love song
To be together and forever be true
And so today is much the same as it was then
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way

I'll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I'll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on

Now I find that many men will look my way
And I'll take them and let them show me the way
And sure I like a few but I leave the rest to play
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way

I'm gonna show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I'll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on

In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way

I'll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I'll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on

You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we have
Isn't good or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way


Agree? Not creepy right? Then why on earth is the video creepy? (I wonder how many times creepy will be said in this blog, hehe).

Here's the video:



Why are cupid's arrows killing the happy in love people? Well really only one out of each couple seems to be dying. I find that particularly creepy. I don't know about you.

While finding the video I found another version of the song by a German band, The Bates. They also had a video. While watching it I thought they definitely took the creepy factor to another level.



Okay I know they took their band name from Hitchcock's film Psycho, but did they have to take a love song and create a Silence of the Lambs video? Talk about uber creepy!

Creepy tally: 7 or 8 or wait is it 9? Oh who cares! :)

OMG, my roommates and I used to sit and blare that song ALL THE TIME. And then this CREEPY guy found out about it and tried to SEDUCE me using the Bed of Roses soundtrack. I literally just shuddered.
