POST #39 - FINAL IDEA

Funny story. As I've been going on, I've been disliking my idea for an All Star music video more and more, and eventually got to the point where I realised that my video wouldn't be as good as I was envisioning it in my head.  So, I decided to go with a new song, and tweak the storyline so that it would fit my new song better.  It's still about Alan Hamlin, and how he deals with his breakup.

The link to my chosen theme of memes is clearer with this song choice, given that it's right in the title. It also allows me to have more fun with the music video, which is something I was aiming for from the beginning. A key difference between the two songs is that More Than Just Memes was written to be a meme deliberately, whereas All Star was written as a song that would be taken seriously; the kind of song you'd hear on the radio. I'm keeping a similar story, about Alan Hamlin dealing with hi...
