Love it - so much attitude! Feel a bit sorry for the ginger kid stuck in at the end!

Really awful song and god knows why this video is getting so much hype. What is it saying to any of you?

I'm drawn to this like a tourist staring at a bloody body on Oxford Street.
It's intriguing and at the same time vulgar and fuckwit stupid.
Every arse with a clapped-out/stolen car and two brain cells will see this as a challenge to replicate or better.
More dumbing down... if that were possible.

I think this is done so well, it looks amazing!
But i cant work out if they have nodded towards all the videos of people in middle eastern countries doing this car stunt stuff, giving them credit ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SPd9wTPV4g ) or just ripped them off?

Completely irresponsible and absolutely fantastic.

Not to sure about the song, not my type of music if im honest, im more of an industrial metal and d&b fan, but the video is very good with some excellent stunt driving.
I watched the video again while listening to sunchase - remember me, and it actually worked very well.
sexyness.
