Metronomy's Music Video for "A Thing for Me" is Falsetto Fabulous
Marissa Brassfield — December 18, 2008 — Pop Culture
If you can make it through the falsetto fabulous "A Thing for Me" by British electronic band Metronomy, you'll see a fun adaptation of karaoke culture in real life.
Metronomy's "A Thing for Me" begins with a cheesy karaoke screen and the members of the band. The video then segues into a real-life version of the karaoke screen, complete with bouncing ball. The verses--which, gloriously, are not sung in falsetto--possess a cut-and-paste vintage feel with typographic thought bubbles.
