    A note from Ingrid on the video:
    Girls Chase Boys started out as a break up song but took on a deeper meaning as I continued writing. More than just being about my experience, its focus shifted to include the idea that, no matter who or how we love, we are all the same.
    The video takes that idea one step further, and attempts to turn stereotypical gender roles on their head. Girls don't exclusively chase boys. We all know this! We all chase each other and in the end we are all chasing after the same thing: love.

    In 2014, when I was two months away from leaving Manhattan, I got a job at a coffee shop in midtown. I was broke and had to walk from 85th and Amsterdam to 44th and 6th. This song was on my playlist during my trek and made my departure easier. Chvrches has been one of my best friends since.

In time he realized that he had made a huge mistake; and he got back on track! Time heals all wounds and love conquers all. All kinds of love! Parent's love for child is strongest love of all!

      It's all good man. I've been a pretty boy all my life and it's hard being a heterosexual pretty boy adult, but in highschool lots of girls chased me. If you need makeup and fancy clothes to feel pretty that's cool, or if you have a thin build with fine facial features, bright hair and bright eyes that's cool too.

    It's really ironic how upset people are getting over this video. In case you didn't read the video, this music video is a homage to Robert Palmer's music video for Simply Irresistible. This music is an exact replica of the music video for Simply Irresistible apart from the genders that are being exploited are reversed. Ingrid is showing how we, as a society, are okay with females being used as sexual icons (like they are in Palmer's music video) but as soon as males are seen as feminine or sexual icons (like they are in Michaelson's music video) there is a massive uproar. This music video is pretty genius if you ask me and my respect for Ingrid Michaelson has only just increased.

    • @pluckyduck11y
      @pluckyduck11y 9 років тому +19

      osnapitzjano I find that it proves how feminists who rant about "objectification" in music videos are hysterical and not to be taken seriously. The roles are reversed here and there is no uproar. The approval rating is over 90% positive and looking over the top comments, no one is outraged. They actually went out of their way to provoke it, and virtually nothing happened. No one cares about objectification unless it's the helpless women with no agency - the preposterous argument cock-skinning feminazis constantly inundate us with.

    I first heard this song on the radio when I was about 9 years old in 2014-15. It was been living in my head NON STOP since then and I was convinced it was a song I heard in my dreams. I could never find it online because I thought the lyrics were "I like girls, jinks, boys, jinks girls". Last week, I was eating at a chinese restaurant with my family when I could *very* faintly hear that "ahAhahAhaAh" on the radio in the next room. I LAUNCHED out of my seat, whipped out my phone, ran in and held up my phone with the shazam app to the speaker. The sheer frustration I was in when I found out it was "girls CHASE boys" is indescribable, but it was such a surreal experience to finally find this song.

    This video is a piece of art, if you didn't read the title this is an "Homage to Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible". It represents how society is ok with girls being used as sexual icons and how a reverse act of males as sexual icons can cause an uproar and by the looks of the comments this is what happened. Goal achieved. It's time to educate people about sexuality, sex, gender, and gender roles.

    • @TigerMonthlyHits
      @TigerMonthlyHits 10 років тому +32

      I think the video is deeper than that though, because men are sexualized every day in the industry. Just because you put a man in a dress and put makeup on him doesn't really sexualize him. It just makes him look more feminine.

    There's an unescapable message of equality of men and women here. Women are stronger than we give them credit for and can, in fact, be the pursuer rather than the pursued. I think it breaks down the sexist stereotype and when it comes down to it, we're all just people loving people. Not men, women, transgendered, gay, straight, bi... We're people pursuing people. Maybe I'm just reading into too much but that's what I get out of this :)

    I used to work in a casino, and this was one of the few songs they played over the intercom that didn't make me want to die. I could barely hear it, as with most of the music on their playlists, so I never knew what to look up. Today my telephone identified it while it played in a store, and now it's so fulfilling to play it through proper headphones and hear the texture of it all. Delightful song, lovely lyrics.

      J. Doryean Yes and no. Robert Palmer wasn't wearing a dress in that video, and the girls didn't have hairy legs. Gender bending, not gender swapping, is what's making people squirm.

      @@ericfeick4270 There is no "looking homosexual." It's not as if women wearing those things occurs naturally, either, women are gaudily sexualized like this as some kind of norm, and the video simply reverses it towards men to show ridiculous it truly is. Women wearing these things, but not men is just a random standard someone decided to pull out of their butt and people have simply gotten used to it. Not to mention that make-up and all that jazz were worn by men first. I mean, really, many people don't even question anything or look beyond what's right in front of their noses, I guess.

      Take it a step further and think about why men and women are objectified differently. Women are objectified for our bodies because our sexual value comes from how young we look and that is connected to fertility . Men are objectified for their ability to provide and protect. It's feminist dogma to think men aren't objectified. 90 percent of homeless are male.. And they are disposable to society. You can look up Karen Straughan and her video The Disposable Male.

    The way the message is portrayed is so good that you don't even realize the subtle differences the first time you watch it. They guys are wearing makeup and dancing and stuff but as the video goes on, they finally incorporate women into the video with the same outfits, and you don't notice it (at least I didn't). This is incredible because it shows that no matter our sexual interests or hobbies, we're all the same, we all feel the same, and we shouldn't judge each other based on it.
    edit: you guys are so weird, can i not just hypothesize and perceive it my own way without you feeling the need to invalidate the lgbtq+ community in my replies or something 😭 so weird

      The video has nothing to do with the song tho. The only things in common IS the boys n girls in the vid and the lyrics LOL.
