I saw this for the first time today. I thought it going really well until the vocals started... and.. Bruce popped his head out of a field of flowers. Not a bad video, but truly odd.
 
It's quite simply a piss-take. I think it's great!

Maybe you need to understand British humour a bit better! [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Oi! I am British! [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
So you should understand then! [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
I'm not saying it's not funny, it's brilliant! But I still found it odd. Perhaps that's what makes it funny.

Oh well. Have a dancing banana. [!--emo&:nana:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/lambada.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'lambada.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
Maiden proved time and time again that they had a great sense of humour -- this is just another proof. But you're right, it seems a bit odd at first. You'll get used to it!

Have TWO dancing bananas!

First time i saw it i was just crying of laughter.

That video is fuckin' hilarious. For some reason I think Dave in the fisherman suit playing the guitar is sooooo funny, just like Janick as a goalkeeper [!--emo&:lol:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/lol[1].gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'lol[1].gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
dave standing in the river playing a solo is amazing, and jan on that little guitar in the swimming pool too.

Although, you've gotta love it when Steve hits the cap of the guy driving the tractor, and he shocks the bloody life outta him!

I rekon its time for another maiden piss take video!

Regards,

Le Taffster
 
Oh yeah, no doubt about it. But have there been any other real funny videos?

Aha. Have three dancing bananas.

The 'Run To The Hills' video is pretty funny too, in a different style though [!--emo&^_^--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/happy.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'happy.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
True. They aren't really known for their awesome video-ness, though.

I think HS video is pretty average. RTTH is a lot more funny.

That is easily my all-time favorite moment in a Maiden video.

Holy Smoke is easily the funniest Maiden video. The second-funniest: Infinite Dreams, just because of Adrian's incredibly horrid mullet.
 
I don't know, I've seen lots of videos, especially during my younger "MTV Years". Some of Maiden's videos trounce a lot of them. Aces High was wicked. Wasted Years was cool too. I wasn't so big on The Wicker Man but Rainmaker is probably the best video I've seen in the last year.

Holy Smoke was hilarious. Run to the Hills was too...but Maiden didn't come up with that humour, remember. That's Buster Keaton.
 
I'm just waiting for the group to do a pisstake of Benny Hill. I'd pay cash to see that. (Told you I knew British humour [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--] )
