More Fun With Cake
Reported by simple
It has been revealed that Cake has different versions of their video for the song "Short Skirt/Long Jacket". The alternate takes, shot two weeks ago in New York and Mexico City, are similar in theme to the original. Cake agreed to shoot multiple versions of "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" when their label convinced them the entertainment value of the original would wear thin over time. When asked about the video, frontman John McCrea said: "I wanted to get across the idea that people are more interesting than celebrities or musicians," said McCrea. "I also wanted to come to grips with the fact that a video is just an advertisement for a song. So the idea was to make it sort of like a BluBlocker commercial. Just let people try on the sunglasses and describe what they see."
