I saw this: I've never seen a version of this song which wasn't delightful.
Here is the music video which has so inspired me today. It's ripe and juicy. Exploring the fantasies behind every person; just acknowledging what is behind everyone else's eye is in its own way a world-changing act, and it should be done as often as possible.
Even still, as this old night watchman gains his humanity, alterness, then humor and dignity, and finally romance before our eyes, we must remember that we were brought to see him by voyeurs - and that we are voyeurs ourselves. But, and it's a subtle touch, our snooping guides laugh gently.
They laugh in celebration with the security guard even as they chide him. Perhaps this reflects our mild embarrassment at our own fantasies - some are just poor, others unworkable.
Nonetheless, they must be cherished and even trotted out for a dance now and then. A delight.
