Song Choice

When we were first choosing a song for our music video we began to sway towards the Ska genre of music. We listed a few different artists and came up with the likes of 'The Specials', 'Madness' and 'Toots and The Maytals'. We decided to originally go with 'Toots and The Maytals - 54-46 was my number'. We had heard the song in 'This Is England' as it features in the soundtrack and it had a catchy beat which we all liked.

We soon changed our minds, and began to gear more towards the 'Rock' genre. We then decided on 'Jumpin Jack Flash' by the 'Rolling Stones'. Again, it's a catchy song, and we decided we'd make this our video over the 'Toots and Maytals' song.

In the end, our final choice was in the 'Rock' genre. But we ended up going for a more recent song, 'Charmer' by 'Kings of Leon'. Although it is older material from Kings of Leon it is still much more recent than the likes of 'Jumpin Jack Flash'.
