Swim Deep’s game show video for ‘Namaste’ is the real winner
Starring Fred from Spector, Paul Daniels and a microphone provided by Terry Wogan.
Swim Deep’s ‘Namaste’ is ridiculous. It sounds like a fictional game show. Something along the lines of ‘Numberwang’ but with more sass.
Some genius in Swim Deep HQ thought the same, and the band have provided an unbelievable video for the track. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before, and it’ll have the likes of Catchphrase and The Cube quaking in their boots. Watch out Saturday Night Takeaway, there’s a new game show in town.
Fred from Spector and Paul Daniels make special guest appearances, and there’s even room for a microphone provided by Terry Wogan.
There is so much to take in, here. It really is the video of our times, if only for James Balmont’s vogue hair-flicks. Below, we’ve tried to make sense of the visual masterpiece that is ‘Namaste’.
