Special (from the album "Version 2.0")

Music video directed by Dawn Shadforth, 1998
Performed by Garbage

This music video for the band, Garbage, is a neato watch. Lead singer, Shirley Manson, plays a queen of a "peaceful people" who must defend them from evildoers (played by the rest of the band)--by dogfighting them in WWII-styled spaceplanes! Honestly, there's not much plot to decipher here but it's a really cool video!

I first saw this video when I was a young teenager and for some reason the air combat just fascinated me--and it still does. I don't think the song has anything to do with the story involved in the video, but I think the lyrics definitely add to the intensity in the combat. Also, although the video ends with "To be continued..." I'm pretty sure it was never continued.

Of course, you can watch this video right here in ScienceFictionLand (through YouTube).
