YouTube Clip of the Week: “Nausea”
The song is by Beck. The director is enigmatically called “Megna”. The performers are marionettes. Beyond that, I really haven’t a clue as to what this video is all about. But there is a lot of flashes, bright colors and disorientating camera work, which can induce the feeling of nausea so often associated with motion sickness, migraines or chronic headaches. If you are feeling nauseous and someone asks you how you are doing and you’re too afraid to talk, lest you loose control, show them this video.
I suppose my age is showing, but I’m not entirely sure who Beck is. I do know that there is a beer in Europe called Beck’s. I also thought “Beck” was a girl’s name (short for “Rebecca”). I remember hearing the name flung about over the years, usually on BBC radio, but other than that, I’m a complete newbie to Beck. Apparently, whoever he is, he’s popular. Google lists 75,500,000 websites with Beck’s name on it. (In contrast, Google only lists three for “Megna”).
When you are in the grip of nausea, it sure does feel like someone else is pulling the strings of your body parts. Enjoy.
