Fit but you know it is one of my favourite videos by the Streets. Similarly to 'Blinded by the lights' there is a brief prologue of script at the beginning to set the video in motion. Skinner goes into a shop and pays for his holiday photos to be developed, when handed to him, these photos become the central point of the video.
There is a dual narrative in a way, as the moving photographs held in Skinner's hands show the rowdy (and often topless) antics of his holiday, whilst the camera also shows Skinner walking through the street in the present day.
Costume used is casual, every day wear in grey-ish sort of colours, vs bright holiday wear in the photograph scenes, this contrast helps define the two parallel locations.
The overall style of the video is light hearted, with comedy moments and the clever device of the moving photographs in Skinner's hands makes it an interesting watch.
