Miracle Cure Official Video

One of the gayest videos ever. In terms of videos, its shite too:

oh --you weren't kidding, it really is gay. (as opposed to just "lame" which I assumed you meant initially) I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing... but yeah, not the most artful or creative video in the world, is it. looks more like a commercial for a clothing line or a cologne or something.

Dear oh dear.

Like the song though.

Bloody hell, you're not wrong...

Erm...

WOW! Gay and pants at the same time, like pink A line flares with yellow pockets in the knees!

Its from blankandjonesonline or summink, so assuming its official. Glad they obviously have high aspirations for the song then. not.

and gayest was used in the sense that its very camp, not in that it's also extremely shite.

it's a perfect ad for united colors of benetton.

That guy in the video looks a tiny bit like a much younger Bernard Sumner....

Would have much preferred a performance based video with Bernard singing and playing guitar, being backed by Blank and Jones on synths, while tons of attractive young people dance in the club they are playing in and take loads of drugs.

oh well.

I think of it rather as a 'concept video' to the music. Like a set of random images to the music. I've seen other videos by Blank and Jones on their official site, and I can surely say that the quality isn't great, but at least, they made an effort though. (Whether that effort is good or bad or in between, depends on what you think though.)

Even though it's not the best music video I've ever seen, I still think it's an interesting video.

Well, there are some nice looking guys and girls... club eye candy, fine. The shots of the guy on the bed are pretty homoerotic but who cares, most kids are cool nowadays they have no problem. But what is with the drag queen showgirl thru out?

If there was a story to the random images along with the lyrics, it could be that the guy wakes up, looks at the "stranger in the mirror" which is him (a guy) and figures out that his miracle cure to his problem would be to be a woman, or at least dress up like a woman... or something like that. The "miracle cure girl" in the lyrics is a girlfriend to some guys or dressing up and being that girl to other guys. Or maybe the drag queen is a "miracle cure" to some guy out there. Maybe all three. Maybe that is reading way too much, but it is kinda weird interpretation to have gender confusion into the mix.

or maybe they thought the drag queen was cool.

OP - Stop that gay = (shit + lame) crap already. You are offending gay people. Yes, that means me - and more than a few other New Order fans.

Video sucks. Maybe I should try to make my own video for the song.

Radio edit other thread is better. This drumbeat is boring.

I think we did establish that the video was a) gay b) lame not c)gay = shit + lame.

Clearly I've offended a gay person who can't read. Third post in six years. I'm disappointed.

They already had a drag queen, in Duran Durans come undone.

Note the "shite too", leading to the conclusion gay = shite. Obviously English is not your forte.

Well, the word 'too' would imply that in this case, it would be both, but I'm also thinking that not every usage of the word 'gay' would imply the meaning or connotation of the word 'shit/shite'.

Different sentences, nobhead. As in its gay and its shite. I could have said 'its great too', but that wouldn't have suggested that gay=great either.

I even posted this before you started fingerpointing, but your supreme English reading skills must have just missed it.

Erm, I take it that you're not English, then?

Because that is NOT what that means...

That video is gayer than George Michael sucking the cream out of a Twinkie in the men's room at a Backstreet Boys concert.

However...

it's not very good.

It's also shite. Badly thought out, badly edited and badly shot.

The video for the track could have been brilliant. It could still have had a gay theme if that was the intention of the track, it could have been completely 'straight', it could have been a mixture.

The more I listen to the song, the more I think that a great opportunity has been wasted.

I agree, it's a sin.

I have the idea this is a joke and the real video is soon to come.

Apparently, it's not a joke though. The only improvement I would suggest for the video is to have a better visual quality---better camerawork and better quality of the picture itself, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the content of the video.

Or maybe for some people, it may be a decent song with a not-so-good or mediocre or crap video or whatever.

I feel that way when I see the video for New Order's Round and Round. As much as I like the song, as a straight female, it doesn't excite me seeing a bunch of women smiling to the camera---it doesn't repulse me; just it's like, 'So what?'.

But that's just reality, you know, encountering a music video that you didn't like or felt was crap or something.

I would have stopped loitering MUCH earlier if I hadn't got such a long phone call from an Annie-loving luvvie hippy.

Where's Jeff when everyone calls his name?

Man, the video is really gay and of low production quality. I still like Barney's voice, it's the only thing I like about the song.

oh you are so full of shit!

and remember many people here - including gay ones - doesnt want to send posts, they're reading 6.000 crap posts of you instead. you sound like neo-christian european politician. you insult first then you become politically correct.

shame, really.

you, get a life!

I'm gay and I think it's shite. Of course, I'm not politically correct and I use "gay" in the sense of shite all the time. "Dude, that's gay."

Played it in my DJ set at 440 Castro this past Sunday, the building that housed the Castro's original gay dance club and located at ground zero in the gay universe...just in case you were doubting my gay cred. The crowd seemed to like it.

Oh, nearly forgot, I'm presuming by the above that 'obviously' English isn't your first language as you've completely missed the intent of the punctuation.

Everyone seems to have mis-read loth's post too.

He said Subject closed at the end of it.

So no more talk on the matter please

I've not seen the video. Can't say I'm that bothered if it's gay and shite.

The song's so so. My mate summed it up last night: I feel better now I've heard it, but that's about it. The workds are a bit Barney-by-numbers and forgettable and the performance sounds a little strained for Barney. Still, it's Barney which is better than not-Barney.

Face it; what this track needs is a bit of high-register bass behind it, a pistol-crack stop-start drum line, some abstract chords soaring through the chorus and a one-string solo in the middle. A totally unforgettable riff wouldn't go amiss either.

Whatever the video looks like it would be better if there was a massive dog in it and loads of long shots of people staring at one another. Jane Horrocks getting out of box would be good too.

I feel honoured. Am I some sort of NOOL gay icon, like Kylie?

I've often said Burt is just like one of those

Why bring Europe or Jesus into it?.. Geez, don't start me on the French. LET ALONE religion...

I will say that Jiphy is a total gent. And I don't remember going politically correct on anyone.

That video featuring one of the remixes with still of the Mobil garage and the fluffy clouds is much better

That video should have been 350% gayer to meet my strict specifications. Well, 350% campier, so I guess that's an important distinction.

But could it be 350% more shite?

CUNTED

That Sumner bloke's lost a bit of weight if the video's anything to go by.

It could always be a Madonna video.

Just watched it for the first time. I see what you mean. If you were watching that when your Dad walked in you'd turn over RAPID

Incredible, the controversy generated when any styles anywhere off- centre are expressed.

I, for one, like t' editting. The intermittent pieces of black flash cut through.

But, at the end of the day, does it go further than this?

It's doing rather well in the Trance charts.

The video is largely irrelevant. How often do you think Miracle Cure will be played on MTV?

That's just fooking disgusting.

Who in their right mind would wear PVC pants with platforms. Disgraceful!

I'm not shocked nor am I offended...I have seen too many men kiss each other.

Good lordy, some people are easily offended ain't they? Ready to pounce on the first perception that something might be offending them.... get an f'ing life dude.

and yes, the video is both gay and shite

the video was a ploy to make all of us NOOL'ers hate each other.

Maybe it's Barney's private joke to us!

I mean no offense or disrespect to anyone, but I just had to say that reading this thread made me laugh so hard I had tears running down my face. Very entertaining indeed.

Glad to be of service Liz.

Following on from this "gay=shite?" debate, in the absence of any other worthwhile thread we may be running a "jackson=peado?" thread next week.

Here's to more non-PC fun and frolics.

haha! cheers Liz. Made me chuckle a lot, too, although in a sad kinda way for human nature and all that. I'm hoping it was just the language barrier.

I don´t understand what happens at nool

You loved to do big trouble and arguing about nothing...
