Hey! You guys want to listen to a little Helloween this week? Of course you don't! But guess what? You're getting it anyway! Deal with it.
We open with an extra who probably stepped in front of the camera accidentally and was immediately ridiculed by whoever the 80's version of Christian Bale was. The director probably wanted to do this all in one take, so the video continues with more extras walking in front of the shot while we slowly enter the magical abyss that is Michael Kiske's mouth. What wonders do his oral cavities contain?
After swallowing an entire hallway, Kiske is then punished by having his band mates stuff him down a trap door for cheating on his "no hallway" diet and then forced to play in the desert, which I'm pretty sure there are none in Germany. From there, we get the typical "performing in warehouse and then cut back to playing in open area" until the 0:49 mark where...pumpkin? What!?
Honestly, there are so many things going on in this video that its hard to talk about everything! One minute they're running around in the dessert, the next they're jumping out of a pool, later they're playing in a stadium, and I think they eventually ran out of film and decided to reuse the clip of entering Michael Kiske's mouth multiple times. In fact, all of the chaos makes me believe that there was no real directing with this video. The director probably told the band to just run around and do whatever after they had done a few lines in the bathroom during their lunch break.
The video ends with the unexplained pumpkin from earlier with the words "And so?". If this question is asking what is next for the band's career, the answer is that founder and guitarist Kai Hansen left the band shortly after. He actually stated in an interview that the song title and lyrics were in reference to him wanting to leave the band. I wonder why nobody else in the band picked up on that considering he WROTE THE SONG! Its OK, though. It's not like his career went anywhere after that...
