Goldfrapp’s Happiness by Dougal Wilson
Monday, 7. April 2008 - 12:42 pm
At first, Alison Goldfrapp and Dougal Wilson seemed like an unlikely combination. Their first video for A&E proved that her sexy and his funny could work together. But frankly, that was just the hors d’oeuvres.
Dougal’s video for new Goldfrapp single Happiness carries on where A&E left off – and then moves into a different league of ingenuity, detail, entertainment value and sheer viewing pleasure.
It’s fantastic stuff, classic Dougal – and we need to find out how he did the whole jumping for joy thing, and get Alison to play several cameos in one single shot…

In case anyone’s interested this has stirred up a whole world of hurt on Antville… His holiness the Hassay, and Liz Kessler all wade in, makes for interesting reading. And if anyone really didn’t deserve shit thrown at him, it was Dougal.

Get involved. Personally, I think we all know what a huge ball ache it would have been to make this video, and make it successfully for the money.
