Wow, my no longer available turned into 'this is not available in your country', which I've never before seen! Is it only available in the USA?

PK,

you really are a fool.

Watch the LEFT side only -

then tell me what's confusing you?

The song works in the same way - it has a mid-point at which the first half is the same "tra la la" at the same points as the second half - which is how they timed the reverse point.

So you get the girl "walk backwards" for a couple of seconds at the end of the trick and it looks like the trick is amazing -

FOOLED YA!

Nah. If it's not gonna show up right in the first place, I'm too lazy to follow after it.

I'm all about the apathy.

it was in the season 2 premier of Buffy, after she'd died and come back and was BAD (oh noes)! She and Xander danced to it while Cibo Matto played on stage at the Bronze.

The video is no longer available, you guys should post a new one.

I've found that the "No Longer Available" thing is often simply incorrect or at least temporary. I've just been able to play the video now, even after clearing my cache. If you run into a "No Longer Available" message, clicking through on the text link to YouTube often addresses it.

Ah yes...after tracking down the video (the version here is telling me it's removed )I have seen this before it's on the Michel Gondry DVD collection. Not bad but I prefer some of his other work.

It's not Buffy/Faith, it's Buffy/Xander. And yeah, the vid was pretty rad.

umm... It's easy to figure out how it works but it's not easy to film. Try planning out how to get two sets of storyboard and the timing to match perfectly in reverse, and you'll know how intricate it is.

You FOOL!

Difficult to film?

Watch it again!

There is nothing difficult about this at all!!!! Just watch one side, and then flip the other and watch that side only, and then put the two together.

It's a nice effect, but it's not difficult at all!!!!

Pay attention!

I remember this was one of the first videos I ever saw on Mtv2, and was blown away by the concept/result.

Huh??I must be missing something. Didn't find this amazing. But I did like the haircut on the girl with the red dress.
