I think this video goes brilliantly with the song .. there's something really really whimsical about these elderly women, something sneaky, charming, something fluffy and light just like the mood of the song itself. You can't be quite sure whats the story about but there's the beauty about a half told story, the golden girls seems to be double tricking each other and at the last moment it seems all of them succumb to some sort of high inducing aroma when the wind starts to blow against the questionable garden.. I prefer this to the muppet video, not too heavy, not too self conscious, that one might be an anti-alcoholic public service story by itself but its just too straight up, not whacky enough nor quirky and off-beat enough for the kind of music Royksopp makes.. doesn't gel too well with the music. Whats more, with music that do not have lyrics, I'm sure Royksopp appreciates the latitude of re-interpretations that their imaginative music induces in different people... it does not always have to be a literal interpretation when it comes to music videos.. The music goes fantastically with light fluffy whimsical stuffs about a little drama over a few sips of tea , and how old grannies may be a bit more complicated and scheming than we think ..
