Lyrics:
Verse 1 -
Let me tell you that i saw your boyfriend walking down the street, he was standin all shaky,
hands all sweaty, and he could hardly speak. I might aswell take a minute or two, to
put you on to some game, you want a boy like him and a man like me and thats just not the
same.

Never mind an sms, what you need is a sweet caress, everybody wanna talk too
much, what you need is a special touch. Ooh girl wouldnt that feel right, a little dinner
with a candle light and really when it comes down to it, pick a man thats down to fight.

Chorus -
Ill give you bonafide lovin (oh oh oh oh)
The type that makes me feel old
Ill give you bonafide lovin (oh oh oh oh)
The type that makes me feel old (ow)

Verse 2 -
Let me tell you that i saw your boyfriend walkin down the road, he was standin all
shook, couldnt even look, and i was extra cold.
I might as well take a minute or two to talk about the perks,
Cause he cant compete with a man like me, and thats just how it works.

Look, this comes as no surprise, what you need is an older guy with a little bit of life
experience, the right clothes and the right appearance. Oh girl wouldnt that feel nice,
hot dinner with the candlelight, and really when it gets down to it, pick a man thats
down to fight.

Chorus-
Ill give you bonafide lovin (oh oh oh oh)
The type that makes me feel old
Ill give you bonafide lovin (oh oh oh oh)
The type that makes me feel old (ow)

Vidder Notes:
This vid brings me nothing but sheer JOY. The entire vidding process I was just giggling and grinning because the song is so silly and I love both of these ships so damn much. It was a delightfully cracky story to tell.

The only hard part of vidding this song (because I had this vid bunny aaaaaaaaages ago) was deciding which guy got which verse. I didn't put Anders first and Lee second because I was trying to make a case for either ship over the other, but just because the cockiness of the first verse's lyrics seemed a better match for Anders than Lee. But! Both men are cocky, and both think they deserve Kara better than the other, so the argument stands in any order.

On a related note, not trying to start any shipper wars! Being the crazy multi-shipping fangirl that I am, I am schizophrenic enough to love BOTH ships with equal but different fervor. There is 100% no offense intended.

Also, I want to give much deserved official credit to [livejournal.com profile] sweeney32's Vidding on a mac tutorial. I have referred to it for scary/confusing tech stuff on every vid for the last year and it has been a great resource.

FEEDBACK IS LOVE AND CRACK AND ALL GOOD THINGS. ;)

Cross-posted like whoa.

haha I don't have a favorite ship either! (and seriously, who wouldn't want to keep BOTH)

anyway, that was hilarious! great job!

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously! Why choose when you can have both?

Thanks so much for the comment! Really glad you enjoyed it :)

[identity profile] daybreak777.livejournal.com 2008-09-12 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, yay! Upbeat vid! This one had such a happy feeling to it. :-) And it was sexy to boot! Woot!

Okay, vidding comment. (Hee, I can comment like a vidder now!) I really like the cuts to the "oh, oh, oh, oh" part. Very impressive and just kept the vid moving. I like happy vids, but I'm glad you put some of the angst in there too. How could I have forgotten the the uber male standoff of hotness? The sweatiness of EoJ? Well, thanks for reminding me. ;-)

And you don't have to choose. I don't know if Kara will ever choose and seriously, if they could all be happy and sexy, why would she? OT3, baby!

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yayyyyy! I'm so glad it came across as happy and sexy. That is exactly what I wanted :D

Oh, and of course there is angst along with the happy! I'm all about the dancey angst *g* Really glad you like the quick-cutting because I was a little nervous about that; I was afraid it was too fast and it would look choppy. Hopefully the timing worked out okay in the end!

OT3 baby! All the way!!!

[identity profile] sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com 2008-09-12 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I love it! So much fun! I love the quick cuts you used for the "oh oh oh" parts and that little radial effect you used for Kara was just perfect for this vid. Thank you for sharing it!

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, thank you! I'm just starting to play around with some of the video effects in my editing program, so I'm really glad that the radial effect worked for Kara. And double-yay that the quick-cutting worked for you. I was nervous :D

Thanks for such a lovely comment! Much appreciated.

That. Was. Awesome. Loved it!

Thanks for sharing. :)

Great, sweaty fun... thank you so much for sharing! :D

SWEET!

Thanks so much hazy--really glad it was fun to watch!

[identity profile] taragel.livejournal.com 2008-09-12 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! That was so fun. I love your crack!vids more than Lee loves noodles.

I also think you picked the right verse for each man. I loved the shots of Anders all cocky on the pyramid court and I think that worked with the first verse better than the second. Plus the "talk too much" for Anders and "I'm extra cold" for Lee are just right I think.

The best part about vidding to me (says the ubernewbie) is finding that perfect shot to really nail the lyrics and I think you do that constantly here.

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
I love your crack!vids more than Lee loves noodles.

Best comment ever! *happy dancing*

I'm so glad the lyrics and clip pairings worked well for you too. I always stress about making that connection for everyone who watches (vidders and non-vidders alike), so that is WONDERFUL to hear :D

Thanks so much for such lovely feedback!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2008-09-12 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, that was nice! Very funny and happy making! :D

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yay for fun and happy making! Thanks so much KC :)

[identity profile] anastashial.livejournal.com 2008-09-12 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I do have a favored ship but I can still enjoy a nicely done vid where the verses work with the clips. Especially loved the effect on Kara parts, very nice.

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, particularly when you strongly favor one pairing.

And I'm so happy to hear that the radial effect on Kara worked for you! I've never tried that effect before so I appreciate hearing whether it worked for people :)

[identity profile] canadiangirl-86.livejournal.com 2008-09-12 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLOL. That was completely...I don't even know the word, but I think it's ADORABLE. Loved it! Fast paced and hysterical and full of pretty, pretty people. :)

I have a vidder question for you. What sort of file type do you upload to Imeem? Because when I upload a vid there they end up with a bunch of sound/vid glitches. :(

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Wheeeeeee! 'Adorable' is great praise indeed because that is pretty much exactly what I was going for :)

I've tried a couple of different files when uploading to imeem, and I'm not sure which ones work better. This one was an .mp4 and it turned out great on imeem. The last two were .mov and .avi and they were choppier in the embed. Not really sure if its the file format or if imeem is just fickle--but I've been kind of thinking about that too.

I am going to steal you away and force you to make me OT3 vids forever!

I can't even begin to express my joy at watching this. There was so much alpha male posturing going on I feared I might pass out from the hotness *fans self*

Your editing was perfect and everything was just fabulous and I adored this from start to finish. And now I know why the majority of the world is unfortunate looking - Sam/Kara/Lee 'bogarted' the gene pool!

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I am going to steal you away and force you to make me OT3 vids forever!

Not if I steal you away for my own fic-loving OT3 marathon first!!!!!

Yay for joy and alpha male posturing and hotness!

I'm so glad this was happy-making, darling.

*full of warm fuzzies and hugs for you*

One of my favorite songs, which is a nice way to start any vid. The end result is great. :)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-14 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
I love this song too! Chromeo are just such a blast to listen to. Really glad you enjoyed the vid too :D

Anders is quite gorgeous isn't he? *sigh*

Thanks for watching! :D

Wow. You're one of my top vidding heroes, so I'm trying really hard not to blush uncontrollably right now. Suffice it to say that your comment pretty much makes my week. Thank you so much!!!

[identity profile] woolly-socks.livejournal.com 2008-09-14 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. Love it!

I didn't get to watch it very closely because I was also trying to protect my computer from the grabby hands of a small child, so I'm DLing to watch properly! :-)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-16 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Hope you get some free time to ogle the pretty pilots properly :D

Loved it! Hahaha, smoking hotness. This vid is so much fun.

And am I wrong to see a leetle bit o' love for my true OTP, Anders/Lee?

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to argue with you on that one at all! You can't have the boys on screen together without a WHOLE BUNCH of Anders/Lee shining through the alpha male posturing ;)

"Either way Kara wins" -- Preach it, sister!

This was a lot of fun! I really like that shiny radial effect you used on Kara. Great clip choices throughout.

For some reason one of my favorite moments is Lee going over with a drink in UB to "I might as well take a minute or two to talk about the perks..." XD I love how it shifted really clearly from Sam's POV to Lee's POV in the two verses.

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, thanks so much for coming back and watching/commenting :D

And I'm so glad the shift in POV was clear and that you liked the radial effects. Always nervous about trying new stuff so double-yay when it works for others!

[identity profile] lexkitten.livejournal.com 2008-09-18 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
I left you a comment on youtube, but I thought I'd comment here too!

You know, I'm pretty die-hard KaraLee, but when I see a good vid like this, the teensy Kara/Anders shipper in me squeals with delight. It makes me feel like an OT3 shipper really ^^;

Good fun vid =) I wasn't sure about the song at first, 'cause it's kinda crackily-up-beat, but it's grown on me, and it does just *work*!

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there is a tiny little OT3 shipper in all of us just lurking behind the other ships \o/

Haha, I can see the song taking some getting used to, but I seem to always have vid bunnies for crackily upbeat songs I can't really help it--if that's what gets my muse going, I'll take it ;)

[identity profile] sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Just thought I'd let you know, I just watched this yet again and I loved it even more. :D

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! So happy that it bears rewatching :D

[identity profile] chev-y.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! I can't believe I just found this. Your video is wonderful! So much fun to watch. Like others have mentioned, I love the effects around Kara. Very unique.

Either way Kara wins? I think she deserves them both after all the hell she's had to endure. It's only fair. WooHoo! OT3! lol

[identity profile] chev-y.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry. I guess I should have said, I'm here by way of [livejournal.com profile] starbuck_anders

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I love your Anders/Lee manip icon! Lee looks so good in Anders arms...*swoons*

Really glad you enjoyed the vid too. Our Kara deserves a whole lotta man-candy after all the crap she's been through. Yay for OT3!

Hi, I don't have a LJ, but I had to tell you somehow that I just love the video you made. It is hilarious. Right from the opening I knew this was going to be great, I'm trying to hold my laugh in. The editing is spot on and somehow the dorky song just goes right with it. Thank you so much, I just love when you guys make stuff like this. <3
