"Tone Poem" would have been all that was needed.

so let me see .... a video clip which prominently and primarily shows a parade of self absorbed, 2nd rate musicians and/or has beens (what the F is Yannick Noah doing there ... i hope they didnt pay him) butchering a song with a kickass beat and lyrics that would have kinda fitted anyway (and if not - werent Pictures or Too Much Sunshine apt substitutes?) ... and this is supposed to drive anyone to action? the only action I was driven to is to press the "stop" button.
i did hang on though, out of sheer masochism and the fact that purely from a visual pov this is a well done clip

Oh my.Pretty difficult to listen to that anthem turned into the equivalent of a Coca-Cola jingle, regardless of the cause.
I beg to differ; that does completely suck.
