Being a child of the '70s and '80s, BoC is a weird trip back in time for me, as much of the aesthetic of their work meshes with my own memories of growing up then... esp this video...
My memories of the '70s have quite eerily the same washed out look, with only reds and greens remaining, that scratched-school-film look from old movies and TV of the day, incorporated and indistinguishable from memory.
The statement in the video is pretty obvious, at least to me... that we all have influences in our lives growing up, and if we're not made aware of where they can take us, they can lead us astray. These bad influences are why the other kids are monkeys who end up dying or being left behind one by one, due to choices they make or behaviors they embody.
