"Ladies Of The World"- Flight Of The Conchords

I chose this video because I feel it follows most of Andrew Goodwin's six music video conventions.

The visual/lyric matching runs throughout as this is where the comedy element is created. For example, when they are listing different types of women, they show them (but are only actually showing 2 or 3 women on a loop)

"All You Sexy Hermaphrodite Lady Man Ladies"

The video follows Genre characteristics of comedy music videos. There are comedy elements to the video, created by parodying the 70s and the folk/jazz genre.

There are intertextual references to the era of the 70s- roller skating and sun-kissed film style colours. This creates a very memorable stylisation to the video and add to the surrealism of the video.

There are close-ups of the stars of the video as they sing, parodying conventional music video stars, in poses and pulling strange expressions etc

The music video is very fitting to the genre and tone of the musical content of the song. The overall brightness of colour and lighting and the general lighthearted nature of the video strongly reflects the song's message ("If all the soldiers in the world put down their guns and picked up a lady, the world wold be a much better place").
