Ladies and gentlemen, I present… Chill in my Veins by Lori Watt:
My fave bit is when the singer suddenly appears holding hands with the mysterious older lady. What’s yours?
Well done to the brill @moogyboobles for locating this item of gloriousness.
Could this be the new ‘Pardon Me?’

I enjoy the moment around the =3:44 mark where she looks…sad and mysterious – at the same time.
My fave cringe tastic bits – The sudden tempo change in between the chorus and verses. That and the horrendous over-miming.
Wow that's something else! What is with all the random people walking past and sitting on the bench? It does sound a little like someone singing in their sleep.
beautiful
she sounds like a french horn
the time changes also give the song a real sense of drama
however, the gauntlet may be the wrong kind of glove to wear whilst playing keyboards – It gives a rather heavy touch and some of the subtleties are lost
My favourite bit is the gloved hand, or more specifically the chain holding the dismembered thumb on.
And the end “well, I hoipe thits put a cheel in YOUR veins..”
2:05 .. why does that woman get up, go to walk one way .. then goes the other.??? hilarious
You said there is singing. I don't hear singing. I hear wailing but no singing.
I love that bit too!
I think my favourite is the literal two-way street scene.
I love how the random lady gets up off the bench but doesn't seem sure which way she's meant to be walking.
And how the only chill seems to be in her forearms.
Must be cold though, as she's wearing gloves when playing the keyboard!
This song is dangerously catchy. I can see it being used in revolutions and whatnot in the future. Just imagine a crowd chanting it.
- the hand, that doesn't really seem to belong “her”1:13
- the guitar-clock on the wall
- the confused woman in red
- the silver chain over the silver gloves over the silver casio
- smelling the flower bouns chain x2 3:22
- the girls on rollers
- the family portrait on the wall
- the “gesture” between 4:21 4:22
My favourite bit is the flower smelling and the faces she pulls, which then turns into an emo montage. Not forgetting the awkward glances to the camera.
from 4.15 to about 4.45 she appears to visibly lose interest in the song and just start messing about
This is way funnier than Pardon Me!
My favorite part is when she's wading in a puddle of her own dress.
I wish she were my friend so I could encourage her wonderful talent further.
I STRONGLY recommend you check out her other videos, particularly 'ex-boyfriends collection' which is a MASTERPIECE!
ooh, where to begin…i think the singing that (kind of) starts at 0.16 – 0.18 and ends at 4.40. But a keyboard solo from John Shuttleworth? More than i could have asked for
1) The opening beach shot: she's walking towards the camera, then suddenly turns 90 degrees.
2) The gurning at 1:50.
3) The weird silver gloves.
say what you will – song is aptly named.
This woman will soon be a global superstar. Fact. I have been checking out some of her other stuff on YouTube. It is stunning. This one be my fave..

The kiss at 2:24 is disturbing.
I sent this to a friend who ended up posting on Youtube “That is dreadful!” (which sadly appears to have been deleted). He got an email back saying “If you don't like it don't bloody watch it for fuck sacks!” Charming.
I would love to see the lyrics cause I could not understand them, the choice of locations was not relevant, the guitar out of tune….. but I did like the flute… when it stopped.
My husband has threatened to throw me out of the house if I don't stop trying to sing along with this. My favourite part – the awkward lumbering to the feet after wiping away the (invisible) tears. And she is surely the queen of a little technique I like to call eyeball aerobics.
I do enjoy her singing technique of 'quiet mumble quiet mumble quiet mumble LOUD'
I, personally, am unable to comment. The sensual intensity that she's oozed has paralyzed me. I can only hope it will wear off so I can get some things done by tomorrow.
I like the clip at the beginning that seems to be played a few times, a silhouette of her walking on the beach towards the camera. It's the weird swagger she has when she walks and the fact that she has no neck.
Oh, and the affected way she mimes.
Was this recorded at half-speed under water?
Ha, that bit with the skirt got me too, I bet she spent ages arranging it so it looked all nice and circular like, only for it to be destroyed by nature. You can see her trying not to laugh. I bet she put it in as it's 'loike, a meetafor or something'. I get the feeling she filmed most of this opus herself.
Thanks for introducing this masterpiece to me. Just when I thought I'd found a favourite bit another jumps out. I think the amazing solo at the end is particularly 'special'
How dare you folks make fun of my future ex-wife.
Good God Almighty!!
She's no Maxine by a long shot! My goodness.
I think she deflects a sneeze at 4:35, what a talent, my veins are chilled to the max, i'm going to have to get in a scalding hot bath to correct myself.
There are too many favourite bits for me, but I cried at the end.
