Let's take a look at the video and find out.
We open with Little Boots herself, staring dolefully at the rain-splattered LA streets that pass by her car window. It's a lonely life being a touring artist. But at least she's wearing a spectacular necklace and dress (made by Ashish, if you must know).
Meanwhile, a group of ne'er-do-wells are scrabbling around to survive. They're probably under a railway bridge. In a dubious area called 'downtown'. This chap has a sign that reads 'Need food - spent all my money on judo lessons'.
Being new in town, Little Boots accidentally wanders in and finds herself surrounded by shopping trolleys.
Wait a second - they're not ne'er-do-wells. They're trained dancers!
For the second verse and chorus, she accidentally wanders into a backstreet dance battle. Like I told you, she's new in town. But it's all rather jolly.
For the middle eight, she accidentally wanders into a local dogging spot. Because she is, after all, new in town.
We end with Little Boots staring dolefully out of the car window, as at the start. Meaning that she dreamed the entire thing.
And there you have it. A quite good video. The song itself doesn't really do it for me yet, but I'll give it some more time. It sounds like the Human League, and I love the Human League. So some more time. I don't want to be one of those people who huffs and puffs that "the earlier stuff is better".
But at least I'm not this YouTube commentor:
"i really liked her better with dark brown hair and when she was with dead disco"
Just let it go. Dead Disco were not bad, but the rest of us have moved on.
