Artist -
Happy Mondays

Relationship between lyrics and visuals -
After analysing this video, i have not been able to discover any sort of relationship between the lyrics and the visuals.

Relationship between music and visuals -
The only relationship between the music and the visuals features midway through the video, when lead singer Sean Ryder mimes in time with the song.

Are there close ups of the artists and star image motifs -
This video does in fact feature numerous close up shots of each band member, but the majority of the close ups are on lead singer Ryder.

Is there reference to the notion of looking -
Once again the notion of looking features throughout this music video, as band members Ryder and bez look straight down the lens of the camera whilst singing or dancing in time with the music. As mentioned before, this creates a personal relationship between the artists and the audience, this technique also allows the artists to portray their personalities, which is how and why the personal relationship or bond is created.

Are there intertextual references -
Unfortunately no intertextual references feature in this video.

Is this video category illustration, disjuncture or amplification, How much of each? 
Due to its lack of synchronisation, this video falls into the category of disjuncture. The reason for this is simple, the video is completely random and neither the visuals nor the lyrics match the action which is taking place on screen. Not only that, but this video does not contain any form of intertextual reference.
