Video Description
This video opens on a person standing on a stage dressed in a costume designed to look like a yellow waving inflatable tube man. Behind the peron is a screen, onto which is projected video of more waving inflatable tube men. The person flails and waves along as the song "Wind Beneath my Wings" by Bette Middler plays in the background. As the song changes to "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred, the projected video also changes to a video of men walking a runway in swimwear. The person removes the yellow costume, revealing bright blue high heeled boots, sequined black pants, matching leg warmers and jacket, and a rainbow wig. She dances and lip syncs to the song. Again the projection image and song change. This time, the screen shows eyeball shapes, balloons and a clown. The associated song is "We Like to Party" by the Vengaboys. The performer does a slow front walkover, showing off her flexibility. She continues dancing, doing a split at one point. The projection changes to an eyeball on a black background as the performer kneels and mimes along to a monologue. The eyeball on the screen turns into a heart as the performer starts lip syncing to "What is Love" by Haddaway. She begins to dance with her yellow tube man costume from early. At first she dances with the costume romantically, but the dance moves turn sexual. At the end of the song, she throws the costume behind her and pulls out a plastic bag of white powder. As "Macarena" by Los del Río begins to play, the performer puts some of the white powder around her mouth. She does the "Macarena" dance and then the song gets progressively faster. As she dances along to the faster music, white powder flies out of the plastic bag that she still holds. At the end the performer does a "death drop" and falls to the floor.
