    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.

      That's what hooked me on this song. At the time I first heard it my son had broken my heart with really poor choices. I was so broken; cried a lot. 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!

    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 Před 9 lety +30

      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.

      I personally think this video puts all the men and women involved into about the same light. The women backup dancers are wearing very right clothing as well as the men and even Ingrid herself is wearing a much more revealing outfit than she usually does in a music video.

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 Před 9 lety +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 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.

    Just gonna say this. If the video makes you uncomfortable, ask yourself why.
    Admittedly, I was watching this for the first time and I was a little put off by the big muscular men in rather feminine clothing and makeup.
    But then I realized, there's nothing to be uncomfortable about.
    Listen to the words.
    "It's all the same thing."
    It's not about gay rights, it's about gender roles!
    A man in a dress and capris, whatever. A girl in baggy jeans and a hoodie, so what?
    Seriously consider it. Why do we apply gender to clothing and inanimate objects? And then, why does it matter?

    Why is everyone acting like this song is about gay rights. This song is about gender equality in relationships. Girls chase boys , just like boys chase girls. They both break each others hearts unlike how it used to be portrayed that girls were property and guys only hurt them. because truth is we hurt eachother. The video is a spoof of the mv for "simply irresistible". it portrays boys and girls the same wearing the same silly outfits because were all equally at risk when in a relationship. like literally saying its about gay rights is stupid.

      you are very close, here is a quote from ingrid "Girls Chase Boys started out as a breakup 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."

    As an androgynous guy who likes to wear makeup I'd like to make a point. Wearing makeup does not equate to feminity. Women are not born with makeup on, no one is. Wearing makeup or appearing "feminine" does not make a man transgender, being transgender does. It's not about what's on the surface, it's about what's in your heart (forgive the cliche).

  • @TheicMoggy
    @TheicMoggy Před 10 lety +36

    Hey for all for all of you who view this video for the first time and think something like "WTH This video is gay and stuff", I will say my interpretation of the video and hope that you won't be quick to judge and think clearly on how this video's message is not just that.
    That being said this video is clearly about the gender issue that's still being happening today like how the media objectifies women (a great example would be Thicke's Blurred Lines) and how women react to them being objectified (an example would be Lily Allen's "Hard Out Here".) This video starts out with men dressed up like the women in the "Simply Irresistible" music video and it comes out as a revenge from making women look stupid in other music videos. As the song progresses and when Ingrid sings "Let's just call it over" one by one the men are being replaced by female dancers. This is what this video is about. It's saying that there's practically no difference between men and women and that we are all equal. The bridge clearly states that as well; "I've got 2 hands, one beating heart and I'll be alright. I'm gonna be alright." So as long as you're a human then you have nothing to be ashamed of. All of the dancers and Ingrid are having fun by the end of the video and they're just dancing and celebrating. We should be happy about ourselves and don't hate on other people as well.
    "Let's not make it harder than it has to be. It's all the same thing." ;)

    • @TheicMoggy
      @TheicMoggy Před 10 lety

      Jen G It started as a breakup song but ended up as this:
      "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." -Ingrid Michaelson on her Facebook page.
      And if you really know Ingrid's style you'd notice that every move she makes has significance to it. She wouldn't just do a parody; she would make it into a message.

    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 :)

    Is it bad that they have better hip movement than me?

      No problem, just play it on repeat and dance along until you've got it. And oh yeah make sure the neighbors can hear it too.
