In the mid-nineties, the violent reality of Dublin gangster Martin Cahill`s activities seemed to fade into the background as he undertook his own peculiar brand of Disneyfication. Cahill, aka `The General`, often posed for press photographers clad only in Mickey Mouse boxer shorts, a Mickey Mouse t-shirt and balaclava. Crime and violence became reconciled within the imagery of the cartoon character criminal. It was easily forgotten that this was a man who could brutally nail his enemies to the floor. MusicVideo features a gang of Martin Cahill look alikes, Mickey Mouse clad and choreographed in lo-fi Hollywood Busby Berkeley style. They dance beneath the beautiful crumbling stucco work of the big house of the ascendancy. Half boy band, half Martin Cahill fetish party; an undercurrent of strange violence makes its presence visible
