RESEARCH: MUSIC VIDEO PLANNING - FINAL SONG CHOICE

Today my group and I decided the song we would sue for our music video would be Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

We explored a great number of videos over the past few weeks but came to the conclusion that this song would be the best choice because we all like it and the song allows for a great amount of creativity adn we have several ideas that we want to experiment with already.

The song itself speaks about the lies and falsehoods made by Hollywood, although the lyrics themselves are often darkly poetic and can be difficult to understand the meaning often shines through when read.


"Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging"


This line refers to the expensive use of plastic surgery to keep up an image that you couldn't naturally hold like many celebrities do.

"Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations"


This line refers to the aspiration of being famous.

Many of the lyrics are fashioned in this way and speak of the plasticity and fake-ness of the reality of fame. The Chili Peppers are a band that was formed and based in Hollywood so it is clear they would have first hand knowledge of what California is actually like.
