SYMPATHIES WITH SATANThe music video starts with no music. The camera is positioned on a front lawn and is pointed up at a balcony on one of the upper lowers of a large house. Nichole Fischer walks out onto the balcony, dressed in an exaggerated portrayal of an 18th century queen (powdered wig, whited out face and all) as starts making an announcement to her "subjects." "From this point on," Queen version of Nichole Fischer announces, "Mrs. Nichole Fischer is Vile Hour is no longer allowed to sing or play piano because of her offensive lyrics, and bad hair! Anybody who sees Mrs. Nichole Fischer singing must immediately report her to the nearest authority!" She makes an exaggerated bow, and then exits the stage right before Sympathies with Satan starts, the slightly comical opening being the complete opposite from the tone and rhythm of the song.  See, the debt collector's coming
He's come to break my fingers
So I can't play piano any, any more
And see, the debt collector's coming
He's come to take my tongue
So I can't sing any songs any more
I'll just go, "Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah"
To the top of the pop charts
"Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah"
In your iPods
"Ah-ha-ah"
That's the sound of silence,
Simon and GarfunkelThe first scene is Nichole Fischer and Castor Drake playing. The scene starts out on a zoom in on Nichole's hands as she cautiously plays the piano, but it starts to zoom out to show both of them playing more and more excitedly until they're playing to the Vile Hour normal.   And see, the Grim Reaper is coming
He's sharpening his scythe
Until he can see his own reflection
And you see, the Grim Reaper is crying
His business is down the drain
Because people can do it so much quicker
And cheaper, and better...The next few scenes are views of groups of woman (all of them played by Nichole Fischer) gossiping about Vile Hour over the phone. In a scene near the end, you see two women talking together as normal Nichole Fischer stands off to the side (she is edited so that her pregnant belly doesn't show as much), begging and pleading without being heard to stop talking about her and encouraging people to stop her from playing her music.  Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
And Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
OhThe next scene is people talking to Castor, trying to convince him that he shouldn't play for her anymore. AT first, Castor disagrees, but after enough people start to tell him, he starts to give into what they say.  And, you see, our Saviour's second coming
He's such a selfish bastard
Some of us don't even get to come once
And you see, his fans know to avoid my house now
Because I've signed a sealed deal with Satan
To just love everybody that I canCastor sits in front of his drums, playing for Vile Hour, but then eventually leaves, giving up hope for Vile Hour because of all the people being against them.  Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
And Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dumNichole squats in front of Castor, screaming at him about how stupid other people are to doubt them, while Queen Nichole Fischer stands on the other side of him, clinging to Castor's leg, trying to get them to stay on their side. In the end, Castor takes normal Nichole's hand and comes back to the band.   And you see, I think the Grim Reaper should go after
That fucking debt collector
So I can sing whenever I fucking goddamn well please
And our Saviour should just make love to Satan
So both can see that either
Are intolerable
Without the other...With Castor back on Vile Hour's side, Nichole starts announcing through her megaphone that her band will never go down. Queen Nichole Fischer, upset that she didn't win, takes off her dress -- her sign of giving up the fight.  Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
And Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
And Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Oh
And Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-da-dum-bum, ba-dum, ba-dumThe final scene, as the music plays out, is Nichole and Castor playing the final notes of the song excitingly, showing that they're never going to die, no matter what.  (OOC: Images from Dresden Dolls' music video for their song 'Girl Anachronism.')
