Could this be the new ‘Pardon Me?’

Ladies and gentlemen, I present… Chill in my Vein 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.

    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.

    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.

    Don’t you mean from 0.00 to 4.45?
