My favourite music video.
This video is called learn to fly, by the foo fighters, it was created in 1999. I like the video which is a parody of the film Airplane! in that it mocks all of the usual conventions found within an aero plane. The first part of the video shows two engineers attempting to smuggle drugs on board the plane, these engineers are jack black and kyle glass who are both musicians from the band tenacious D. The music which is playing in the background to this is a modified version of the foo fighters song everlong, which also itself has a video which is a good example of disjunture. The 2 engineers are then interupted by a camp flight attendant. the flight attendant is played by Dave Grohl the bands frontman, he and the other bandmembers (Nate Mendel and Taylor Hawkins) also fill a wide variety of roles within the film. which are shown below
