T.K.O.
Want more real attention.
At my expense guess you forgot to mention.
You talk good,
I’ll eat glass.
I heard you read my mind behind my back.
Outside, I’m waitin’
by the car when you’re hesitatin’.
Take a good look.
Take a photo.
Write about it in your tiny notebook.

Don’t you know? You’re out cold.
Don’t you know? It’s our dance-floor!
T.K.O. Hear it on the radio.
T.K.O. Play it on the stereo.
T.K.O. Watch a live video.
T.K.O.
T.K.O-O
Oh, oh..
Oh, oh..

Got your money safe.
Wanna be "In".
Everyday it just gets closer to you.
I say my piece,
And when it’s over, you’ll be on your knees, I..
got this soul thing on the go -ho.
Read about it at your Barnes & Noble.

Don’t you know? It’s our dance-floor!
T.K.O. Hear it on the radio.
T.K.O. Play it on the stereo.
T.K.O. Watch a live video.
T.K.O.
T.K.O-O
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.

Night is young
And we all know what’s up
Beyond the setting sun
The ocean calls us
away from...
(sample overlay)...


Don’t you know? It’s our dance-floor
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

T.K.O. Hear it on the radio.
T.K.O. Play it on your stereo.
T.K.O. Watch a live video.
T.K.O.
T.K.O-O
T.K.O. Hear it on the radio.
T.K.O. Play it on your stereo.
T.K.O. Watch a live video.
T.K.O.
T.K.O-O

Wheee! It's great to see a LOM vid again. A2A has dominated since it started, so it's great to go back to the roots. :D And I love what you did with it! Especially all the lesser-used or never-seen-in-vids clips: there was a lot of that, and it made it so fresh and aesthetically pleasing and visually amazing, and the editing is crisp and awesome. Lovely, lovely job. ♥

Man, now I really miss this show!

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thank you ever so much! It was so nice to go back to the show again. LoM was so heavily vidded for a while that it can be hard to do something that feels new and fresh, so I'm so glad to hear that it did that for you.

I love the energy of this vid. The music is perfect and you edit to it wonderfully.

(Also, niiiice inclusion of Sam/Annie as well as Sam/Gene, and Chris' dancing. :D)

♥

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you ever so much.

[beaq.livejournal.com]

Verrrrry nice dance montage there in the middle! (The serious stuff punctuated by Chris's spazzing, and the guys jumping up and down in the pub, yes!) I was smiling the whole way through.

Recced by Loz.

Thank you! It was such a fun vid to make, and I'm so glad you liked it.

Thank you for making this. :)

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[space-oddity-75.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, this is great! Loved the fact that you included footage we hardly ever get to see in fanvids. Yay!

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm so glad I could keep it a bit fresh.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thank you ever so much! Both the Sam/Gene and Sam/Annie was intended, though not necessarily as any sort of death cage battle; more of a general almost flirty type vibe.

[fern-tree.livejournal.com]

THAT. Was stupendous. So many clips I've not seen in vids before, and the pacing was perfect <33333

Downloading this, definitely! Thankyou :D

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thank you kindly! LoM has been so heavily vidded (and for good reason), that it's lovely to hear I managed to use some clips that were a bit newer.

[woothiswildcat.livejournal.com]

That was an amazing, totally fresh take on a LOM vid. The editing was so sharp and the pacing dynamic. I love that you balanced Sam/Gene with Sam/Annie in a really unique way. Great use of scenes that don't make it into vids very often. Just fantastic work.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thank you ever so much for your kind words.

[chamekke.livejournal.com]

Right from the opening credits, this was incredibly fresh and new - and sexy! Not just the use of clips we don't normally see, but the daring way you combined them. So much to love here, but the 'hands' montage around 1:00 especially blew me away for some reason.

Just fantastic!

(And thank you for the download link, because I am SO keeping this one :-)

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thank you ever so much! LoM has been heavily vidded (and for good reason!) so I am so glad to hear that I managed to keep things fresh.

I love the dancing clips, but the end, from the rooftop parallels to the kissing/cigarette handing off, made me beam madly. Beautifully done.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed it.

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Oh this was brilliant, love the song and the clips you have chosen. Also the editing, feel and pace of this are fantastic.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thank you ever so much.

[westenflus87.livejournal.com]

great vid but what is TKO mean???? Plus the saying "sam its the voices" that was really funny. were did you get it or did you make it up.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

A T.K.O. is a technical knockout, from boxing.

I made up the summary -- I'm so glad you like it, and the vid.

[lexandros.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. This is an amazing this vid! I LOVE the passing of the cigarette at the end, the joining hands etc. Awesome job! ♥

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

oh, that was awesommme!
le tigre + life on mars = LOVE. crazy, awesome love.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[thedeadparrot.livejournal.com]

I just watched Life on Mars for the first time recently, and I adore this vid. It has real style and swagger. I especially love the parallels you draw between Sam/Annie and Sam/Gene as well as the parallels between 1973/2006.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Thank you ever so much!

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

If you have the VVC '10 DVD, it's on there, too! Either way, you have it now!

Thanks so much for watching!
