Drooooooool (How Did I Live my Whole Life Without Seeing This?)

[pyjamapants]

Right, so perhaps I'm the last person in fandom to see this (I really don't spend very much time poking around on youtube), but this was entirely too lovely not to post it here. It would seem this was originally published in 2000 in the UK which was well before Alan Rickman had firmly landed on my radar.

I was perusing youtube tonight for a bit of inspiration when I stumbled upon the video Alan Rickman did with the band Texas. Actually, I first found the footage below which has music from In-Tango by In-grid dubbed over the original. Very, very yummy. Color me inspired.

Apparently, this is the original video (embedding not allowed). The lyrics perhaps explains why the two are stalked by paparrazi within the context of the video). Though I'm still puzzled about why they're dancing in a gas station.

oh.my.god. okay, that may single-handedly force me to get high-speed internet at home. i finally managed to watch this at work and i'm sitting here literally hyperventilating at my desk. i watched the tango version. will have to save the other for later. *looks nervously over shoulder*

The other version isn't nearly as breath-taking. I'm quite glad I didn't see it first.
