These strings in the beginning is one of the most iconic music moments in history. The whole arrangement just pure genius that few artists have claimed!
+Lucio Flavio Yes, this was a fine era of Belgian Music. Sadly enough, this singer (Geike) is no longer member of the band, but boy oh boy, could she sing. Also look for "Eden - Hooverphonic"
I didn't realise they were in it until watching the final. A good song but a terrible choice for that competition. Far too moody and slow paced for Eurovision votes. Definitely should have got more from the Juries though.
The other video is still the same band, they just change the musicians (and leaders of the band) just change their main singer from time to time. Although Geike (the singer in this vid) is the only one that actually left instead of getting replaced and she came back to the band recently so let's hope they stay together for a while now.
I have been looking for this song for over decade! All I remembered was a girl dancing with a green "monster", but nobody never heard of something like that. And last Sunday I heard a nice song on the radio, the song that definitely drew my attention. Later I checked it and ...suprise! It turned out that song with the strange creature I saw once. Strange but nice feeling ...
I have been asking people about "that music video from the late 90s with the girl who loves the giant plant" (which no one had seen but me) and googling to no avail until this day. All I could really remember was them lying on the floor together. I truly know how you felt 3 years ago! It still stands as one of the creepiest videos I've ever seen, I guess that's why it made such an impression.
I'm still looking for a song, too. I can hear the melody clearly in my head when i think of this song, but that's not enough to ask Google :x i remember the female singer, too, but no lyrics. It doesn't make things easier.
I had the same story with Mylene Farmer video about 2 sisters which I've seen in my childhood. Except that I had to figure that there was not so many world-popular redhead french singers, then download all of her clips and eventually found that awesome music video :)
There is a Russian comedy "On the hook" ("На крючке"). At the very end of the film there is a wedding under water, this song is playing there ua-cam.com/video/3rvukjx8CzY/v-deo.htmlsi=7-EqSOmC8sTdjcps
This song bring me all The way back when I was young and with no concern . Times just flies away . Enjoy the moment guys because otherwise you will regret later on .
I think few people understand the significance of that giant plant-man and her obsession with protecting him. Shutting away from everybody and everything, only to be with him. It's actually not a story about love, but a story of co-dependence, and obsession, addiction. It could really be writen about anything we obsess over. Very fitting music for this story.
I think it's heavily implied that the cabbage creature was never real. The woman in the song just had some sort of terror of reality which she was desperate for something to distract from, and the light making the cabbage shrivel and die seemed to symbolise the fantasy dying when reality kicks in.
Io vent'anni fa non c'ero perché non ero ancora nata, ma ricordo tutte le volte nella mia infanzia in cui giocavo in casa mentre la radio era accesa e questa canzone passava❤💗. Non l'ho ascoltata per un po' di tempo, e un giorno mi venne in mente di farlo. Ebbi i brividi e la pelle d'oca, che ho tutt'oggi e che proverò ogni volta che ascolto, canto o suono questo capolavoro. Per sempre❤💗👧🏼🔜👩🏼🧸
@@urfavtsag Ciao Greta, mi è piaciuto molto questo commento che hai fatto. Deduco che sei giovanissima 🥰, ma hai già ottimi gusti musicali. Questa secondo me fu una se non la più bella canzone di quel 2000, quando io ero un adolescente e la ascoltavo praticamente sempre, mi faceva sognare ad occhi aperti 😉. Ti saluto 💙💚💜
Constantine, once you gave me this song clip. If you happen to be here and see this, I just want to say "I love you" and I hope you are always happy with your life.
What is it about this odd video that is so appealing & great? Over 20 years old, it is fresher and more interesting than just about anything new. The song, the band and the singer are big fixtures in this equation. The fact that they took a chance on such a strange video must have taken a great leap of confidence. I love it and tend to watch it about every day since I discovered it a month ago. Steven Pettinga , Indianapolis
2001 I was flying from Frankfurt to Washington DC on a Lufthansa flight. Back in those days they just play discs on in-flight radio stations. I found this on the european pop music station. Immediately fell in love! Couldn't remember the artist or the song. Looked up "mad about you" during quarantine and 19 years later, I found it! finally! The internet is truly awesome!
Im normally a reader not a writer, but cant stop myself from commentin to this masterpiece. To the person who made me realise the worth of this song, even though u r not in my life anymore, thank u for this song. Im still mad about you, in all terms.
@@alejovisia Yes i am. Because i love their songs. Mad about you is my favorite. And this is one the best bands of Belgium. And they are very well known in Europe and USA.

Hooverphonic representing Belgium would sound like this Glaaaaaaad for you , glaaaaaaad for you !!! its so awesome that they represent Belgium in Rotterdam , hope they will do something cool
"Mad About You" is and will forever be the soundtrack of my childhood, along with "Sometimes"... thank you for give me always happiness with your songs... thank you Hooverphonic, and welcome back Geike! ❤❤❤💗💗💗
Hooverphonic greetings from Greece I love you so much big fan."Mad about you" was,is and always will be your most legendary song.And one of the best of all times.Your other songs can't beat it!

It still is, you just need to look more to find it as there's so much more garbage out there.

How does the original only have 1 million views when the live version with another singer has 78?! this song was freaking everywhere for YEARS.
Because Geike is something else m'lady, she is back now. I loved Noemie very much as well.

I think few people understand the significance of that giant plant-man and her obsession with protecting him. Shutting away from everybody and everything, only to be with him. It's actually not a story about love, but a story of co-dependence, and obsession, addiction. It could really be writen about anything we obsess over. Very fitting music for this story.
it's about drug addiction
addiction breeds focus
I think it's heavily implied that the cabbage creature was never real. The woman in the song just had some sort of terror of reality which she was desperate for something to distract from, and the light making the cabbage shrivel and die seemed to symbolise the fantasy dying when reality kicks in.
@@FreakyTeethActually, this video unexpectedly kicked me in the feels big time. 🙁
It’s her alien lover whom she is trying to protect.
This song is the one. Respect geike and hooverphonic
She is one of the best singer's in the World , they shud have won Eurosong .
