Okay, I know this site is dedicated to music in commercials, so technically I shouldn't be asking about this, BUT the description for this forum reads, "Information on music used in TV shows and other television programming can be found here" and since the music vid I'm looking for was broadcast within a specific MTV program, maybe this is a forgivable transgression?
If it is, I'm looking for a song I saw in a music video during the 90's on MTV. As far as the song goes, I can't remember anything distinctive. However, the video for it was very distinctive, being one of the most interesting concepts for a music video I've ever seen.
It begins like this:
There's a guy in a business suit lying on his back on a sidewalk in a mjor city. People are passing him by and looking at him or trying to talk to him. It starts with a few people asking him why he's just lying there and if he needs any help. He tells them that he's fine and for them to move on. All of this "conversation" is subtitled at the bottom of the screen, of course, as the music is playing, which cuts back and forth between the scene with the guy lying down and other parts of the music video. But the people's interest is piqued and they remorselessly keep on asking him why he's lying there. But he won't budge from his position (of telling them OR getting up). By now there's a huge crowd surrounding him (20+ people) including a police officer. The officer is demanding to know why he's lying there. By now the guy in the suit has had it with all the questions, and he's like, "you want to know why I'm lying her? You really want to know?? Fine, I'll tell you..." Then the music video cuts to a different scene. When it returns, everyone who had been standing around the original guy is now also lying down on the sidewalk/street, apparently having been told the reason that caused him to lie down in the street. Then the camera zooms off from an aerial point of view and the video ends.
Anyone remembers this?
