Gym Class Heroes by Stereo Hearts

The whole point of this video seems to be "If you like dancing, then you'll love dancing... with shadows!"  The video is taken up by several people dancing while their shadows do different dance moves, dance faster, get picked up by giant shadow hands, or explode.  There are also a few shots of televisions.  Not really worth watching.

Your shadow can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3E9Wjbq44E&ob=av2e

1 point if the music video in question has very good dancing or no dancing.
Wonderful dancing.  I actually liked the shadow aspect of it.  What I didn't like was how the whole video was dedicated to that concept.
1 point if the music video has no dancing.
No point.
1 point if the music video has something from the beginning come into play at the end.
Not at all.  The video had several things that only came into play in the beginning that I expected to see at the end, but I didn't.
1 point if the music video has a series of related images, a theme, or a plotline.
I'll give it a point here because shadow-dancing has to count for something as far as this goes.
1 point if the music video has a theme or a plotline.
No point.
1 point if the music video has a plotline.
No point.
1 point if the music video is either depicts extreme coolness or extreme realism.
No... the radio that seems to buzz time a bit at the beginning completely wrecked the idea of a realistic setting where the shadows were the only things off.
1 point if the music video, if it has a plotline or theme, has no diversions from it.
It was diversion city in this video, what with the random TVs coming into play every so often.
1 point if the music video has a person or setting with an interesting status or superpower. 
This music video is the epitome of this point. 
1 point to spare in case I really like it.
Close, but no cigar.


This video gets a 3/10.
I am HIGHLY up for suggestions for music videos to review.
