The scariest video of all time. Reminds me of Worker & Parasite off The Simpsons.
Discuss.

Reminds of Nightmare Before Christmas for some reason. it's probably their best videos but their fans will probably complain before of the lack of "prettiness"

Oh my god it's freaky. They really have taken this whole Wonderland thing too far. I blame Tom (sorry dude). They have quite a young fanbase and I don't think it's appropriate to be showing this to young fans. I love this track, it's my fave off the album, but I fear I won't love it anymore if they insist on having this video. They should have done a nice comedy video where they dressed up as old gits (like Busted did in Crashed The Wedding).

Yes, some fans on the McFly board are scared of it.

Is it Paul K as in the funny Dennis Pennis comedian type guy?

Pretty pathetic to be scared of it if you asking me, then again it's probably the first time the bands rejected looking "pretty"

I haven't seen this- I'm guessing it got played on CD:UK this morning? I'm still so bitter they are releasing this double A side and not what is clearly the best song on the album in "Too close for comfort".

I like it. It's different from what they normally do and the song is too. I think it shows that there music is maturing along with them. I am a fan I have to admit and can't really see why people would really hate it.

Its written about dads and then they just got the name from some guy in Dougie's childhood.
I personally LOVE the video. I wonder if it was directed/overseen by the guy/people behind the Keane video for Bedshaped? People said Tom looked like the singer from Keane but really, this is ridiculous!

People said Tom looked like the singer from Keane but really, this is ridiculous! Yeah, I thought it was similar to the Keane-Bedshaped one. Pretty creepy though... I wonder if they'll alienate any of their fanbase with this? As much as I like them, I think their days are numbered. I Wanna Hold You spent 4 weeks on the chart despite getting to number 3, and I can see this entering around the lower top 20, maybe even lower.

It would certainly be a bit of a shock to them and their fans..I hope it doesn't even though I think its a bizzarre choice of singles. I Wanna Hold you was dissapointing, its probably one of my favourites on the album.

I totally think they are the wrong singles. a depressed dad and summer girls...i would have gone for Too Close for Comfort, but then that's not really cheery either. hmmm. I do like the Paul K video a lot though.

I like the video. I'm glad that they're trying different things now. Then again, I liked the Room on the 3rd Floor video too, and a lot of the fans don't, I guess bc you can't see them in it. I still think BoPK and Ultraviolet were odd choices for a single, but oh well. Both are great songs.

Sadly, I've also wanted a real McFly assembly kit or whatever you'd call it. That would be amazing.

It's a bit freaky, but it's not really on the same level of scariness as, say, an Aphex Twin video. It certainly makes a change from the usual pop fare, though.

I think it's a great video.
Though I would like it even more if their face masks didn't remind of The Carver in Nip/Tuck

I absolutely love the video. McFly videos were getting a bit samey but this one is genius. Love it.
Although it is a *tad* like Keane's video...

Genius. Great clip for an OK song ("Too Close for comfort" really should have been the next single), clearly influenced by a lot of Tim Burton viewing.
It's quite scary for about the first 20 seconds, but overall quite crafty etc.

They should have put the BoPK video out for Halloween instead of Christmas.

Also, songwise, the strings are a nice touch.

If you really dont want it you could always make someones day by sending it to a big fan..say..oo..me? Ha! No but seriously, take pictures. I'm a geek and want to see it! How have you resisted temptation to put it together?! Ok, I did not just say that
