Lyric breakdown- Georgia Briggs and Alex Nugent


White = Lyric Red= Idea (whats going to happen at that moment)

Blue = Locations

Introduction – the song lyrics do not actually start till 18 seconds in meaning we have to fill this in before we are able to introduce the gorilla. During this we will introduce the main character of the narrative, who is played by Matt. This introduction will occur by showing Matt walking down the street dressed up and with flowers to go and meet his woman of interest.

Verse One

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street

This is where the narrative is introduced and where the male charcter first sees the gorilla and the women together and looks shocked.

From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold

Quick cut of Matt sitting in café where he sees them again (variety of close up shots)

Look over there! (Where?)

Shot of random people in time saying ‘where!?’

There's a lady that I used to know

She's married now or engaged or something so I'm told

Chorus

(Hyde Park – large open space)

Is she really going out with him?

Is she really gonna take him home tonight?

Is she really going out with him?

'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,

Banana feeding slow motion at picnic

There's something going wrong around here

Verse Two

(Well lit bathroom with a large mirror)

Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street.

Tries to look like gorilla in front of the mirror

I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth

Compares himself to the photo of gorilla

Look over there! (Where?)

Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend

They say that looks don't count for much

Shot of the gorilla and women together

If so, there goes your proof

Chorus

Is she really going out with him?

Is she really gonna take him home tonight?

Is she really going out with him?

'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,

There's something going wrong around here

Gorilla starts to groom(picking stuff out of her hair) the female character.

Verse Three

But if looks could kill Gorilla taunts Matt

There's a man there who's marked down as dead.

Man confronts the Gorilla

Cause I've had my fill

Listen you, take your hands off her head Man gets beaten up

I get so mean around this scene

Chorus

Embankment busy

Is she really going out with him? Man miming with a beaten up face

Is she really gonna take him home tonight?

Is she really going out with him?

'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me Gorilla barges him out of the way shot of them walking off

There's something going wrong around here
