ROCK MY WORLD

Just rock it

Okay, so I shall translate the video for Rock My World.

****************************************************************

A lady with long white/blond/yellow hair is walking down a road being followed by some yellow dumper trucks. She punches someone to her right (only they're invisible to the viewer's eye).

The lady is wearing a combination of PVC and leather making her look like, um, like, well, I dunno. Like someone tore up all the sofas in World of Leather and stitched them into some sexy, body-hugging catsuit. The lady is also wearing giant hoops on the side of her head - are they for her birds of prey which are circling, fending off the dumper trucks?

Suddenly the viewer is made aware that she is not alone - there are 4 others from Planet PVLeatherC standing atop a ridge. What are they doing there? the viewer wonders. Are they nasty?

The dumper truck try to soak the lady with nearby water, but she is too quick for them and is suddenly below the other 4 Tomorrow People who are still on the ridge.

There follows some inter-planetary jigging about - loads of arms randomly flailing about. The Tomorrow People mysteriously manage to teleport back and fore to each other's position in a bid to confuse the dumper trucks (and the viewer?)

The dumper trucks turn on their lights to see what's going on better in the sudden darkness.

Then the viewer is treated to a display of alien rituals - the Tomorrow People do some odd movements direct to the on-screen display and emit a wonderful electric glow, not seen since 1987 when a genius harnessed the power of electric love from a woman with huge hair.

The display jumps backwards and forward in time as night becomes day and day becomes night. The hair gets bigger and bigger and the arm movements become more irratic. These are joined by a new face gurning competition the fivesome seem to adopt. There is no longer any sight of the dumper trucks as they have all gone to re-energise - the utter madness they have witnessed has scared them powerless.

The Tomorrow People seem to have won the day - when the dumper trucks do come back out of hiding they are forced to merely move earth around as they can no longer put up with the strange time-jumping, face-contorting and arm-wiggling.

The five heroes and heroines re-form their formation and walk around the dis-used Doctor Who set and leave their image on the wheel of one poor truck - a 'map' which tells all the universe they have beaten their mortal foes.

The Tomorrow People continue to show off their time-jumping, teleportation, arm-wiggling powers and eventually drive off the dumper trucks to another realm. They march the dumper trucks out of town in their now confirmed formation.

That about sums it up.

Easy really - dunno why people never got the connection between that and the story of the old folk song - the story of a jealous boyfriend. He is jealous of his girlfriend's playing around with other fellas. But she reassures him that he is the only one - men have got to know how to dance before she will come to the floor. And she's already on his floor, so he must know how to dance. He already rocks her world and she confirms that. She tells him not to worry - she is his and will always stay so.

See, that's how the rocks and the dumper trucks come into it. All the jumping back and fore between day and night is a metaphore for, um, oh, I dunno, it's just nonsense, okay?
