Silk Pyjamas promo video

Has anyone seen this video, directed by the legendary Michelle Gondry.
If so, anyone care to give a synopsis and if possible post some screenshots?

Yes, I've seen it. It was on Channel 3 UK's "ITV Chart Show" - I did also have it on video for about a week until I let a Dolby fan borrow it who then disappeared!

My memory of it is very hazy - it features an attractive women in red ( I guess they were pyjamas... ) in seemingly some European city which might have been Spain or Italy - lots of slow motion shots of her in various parts of the city. Not a lot of Dolby as I remember but that might just have been the clip they showed.

Sorry I cant be of more help

It's a great video. I'm just frustrated because I DO own the dvd that it's on, but I can't find the video anywhere online. My computer doesn't play dvds properly (both cds and dvds play all skippy).

Sorry about that.

Any more bright ideas?

I was wondering why I couldn't find the video on YouTube any more. EMI used to have all of the remastered music videos on YouTube in the US as well. Apparently they've blocked us now.

Well if someone was naughty we could save the video and re- upload it ourselves.

Was going to ask if this was the video we were talking about! :lol: Yes indeedy, this set is an essential buy for the Dolby collection. Not too expensive either, easily bought from Amazons on either side of the sea... :) Silk PJs...love that song, good vid too.

As A footnote.

Dare I ask - how much did it cost to make back in 1992.

I'll hazard a guess: $500:00 :wink:

I have it already, but my computer won't play dvds properly, and the only dvd player in the house is attached to the tv that my dad is using right now. I am not trying to avoid spending money. Lol. It's already spent.

Sometimes this record company silliness makes it really hard for me to introduce new people to his music/videos. I'm not sure what they hope to accomplish by blocking the videos in the US, other than keeping me from introducing new people to his videos (especially all the Dolby fans I've found on tumblr).
