I LOVE THIS. I hate the song, but you're right - it IS perfect for Clark. And by about 10 seconds in I'd forgotten how much I hate the song! This is just so much fun. And as usual, top-notch editing makes it sparkle. Oh, Clark. ;)

And OMG I'm sure you've seen this (http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/11/best_fan_vids_of_2008_1.html#end-slideshow), but wow, congratulations K!!! :D

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, I knew you hated the song--I remember you mentioning it in your journal! And I totally hate it too! Except now it's so colonised by Clark in my mind that it makes me giggle. :D

And thank you! OMG, I did *cartwheels* when I heard about that! It is very exciting--like a fairy tale! To be listed with such amazing vids and vidders! *dies happy*

Saw this via talitha78's link and just wanted to say you did a great job. A very fun vid and I will never hear that song the same way again. Kudos for being able to use bad dancing Clark. ;) And congrats on the New Yorker inclusion as well.

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That is so kind of you. I've been seeing you get a lot more credit for your amazing AU vids recently too! Well done--I am in awe of your ability to craft those.

(I never thought I'd be able to use bad dancing Clark in a vid but there you go!)

[jeannev.livejournal.com]

That was so Amazing! Look at that sexy Clark, getting down with his dirty self. I especially loved the pissy Lex inserts.

Wonderful job!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Perfect icon for the topic. Poor Lex--he does good guilt trips though. ;)

[tariel22.livejournal.com]

This is the second time talitha78 has pointed me in the direction of one of your vids (the first was Paranoid Android), and I am again forever in her debt! This video is an absolute delight! Now that I've seen it, it's all I'll ever think of when I hear that song. What a wonderful concept, and I love the Clexy bits! I giggled all the way through it.

There are so many sexy and funny moments in your vid, and your images sync with the music perfectly. Plus, as an obsessed Tom Welling fangirl, I found it impossibly hot! :)

Thanks so much for making this, and for sharing it! I am in awe of your talent, and so thankful we have a friend in common to send me your way! And congratulations on your vidding honor, that's awesome.

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Thank you! This vid wouldn't have got made without talitha78 as inspiration herself, so it's very fitting she send you! :D

Now that I've seen it, it's all I'll ever think of when I hear that song.
YAY! WIN! (I feel the same way)

I was so pleased to find this way to showcase Tom's hotness--he is inhumanly beautiful, hot, and also does comedy very, very well. :)

*friends*

This is SO AWESOME! (OK, normally I'd try to find a different adjective since that one has been used in earlier comments. But its the best one I could come up with without turning to my thesarus. Wonderul, marvelous, astounding, terrific, stupendous...) I laughed, I grinned, I chortled, and I was definitely turned on py The Pretty. And then I laughed some more, especially at the cuts to a decidedly PO'd Lex. Thank you!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

HEE! :) Thank you so much! It was a joy to make--who could not enjoy all that pretty? :)

[lidi.livejournal.com]

Thank you for 3 minutes of pure joy, fun and sexiness!

(oh, and special thanks for Clark/Oliver storyline. it was cherry on top of a sweet, sweet deliciousness :) )

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Hee! you're welcome! I am glad you liked the Clark/Oliver touch--I have a soft spot for them. ;)

[carolandtom.livejournal.com]

Awesome video! It's wonderful to have so much hot, sexy Clark! Fantastic job!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Yay! You liked it! It was a joy to put together. I need to make more Clark vids--he's a pleasure to edit! ;)

[voldything.livejournal.com]

Omg Bop. Omg. This is now my favourite Clark video ever. It's SO PERFECT. Every clip and and the beats and the expressions and and and LEX'S PISSED LOOK and I couldn't stop smiling and squealing the entire vid. Bop seriously. This made me so happy. I can't even express how much I LOVED IT ♥

*watches again and again*

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh yay!!! *hugs* Thank you, hon, I'm thrilled you like it so much. I giggled SO much making it and it really did come together very fast (I started it last Friday?). So it's still fun for me to watch too! \o/

[supacat.livejournal.com]

I love this so so so much and WHY ARE YOU NOT HERE so that I can scream insanely to you over the phone??????

I want to say something meaningful like-- like-- I love the way it reclaims that song at the same time as it comments on the crack gender politics of the show, by making heterosexuality the taboo for Clark, who is cast as female. :DD

At the same time it's so cracktastically fun in its own right that I just want to say YES THAT'S IT! That is the camp of the show tied up in a bow. :DD

I have rewatched like four million times--!!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Oh good, you liked it! :) SCORE! *makes Clark's pumped fist of (het) victory*

Luckily with this one I still like it too! :D :D :D

[beef-wonder3.livejournal.com]

This was so awesome!!!!
This was a really great vid and there were so many great details. Poor Clark & his perpetual confusion. And I liked the way you transistiond "The Boyfriend" from Lex to Oliver so smoothly.
And so many of Clarks hottest scenes in one vid...wow. *fans self*
Thanks for sharing this =D

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! Yes, as soon as I realised I could line up all Clark's hot moments in one vid, I was on board with the idea. ;) SUCH a hard job, but someone had to do it. ;) Glad the Lex-Ollie thing worked for you--it was always a risk. ;)

[c-mantix.livejournal.com]

Confession time. I don't generally watch vids or read vid posts. I'm SO glad that I'm here via a detour!!! So hilarious, bop! *cackles*

Clark certainly gets around for a homely type. *heh*

You have a wicked sense of humour;-D

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries, I confess I don't read much fic, which is kinda bad given all the writers on my f'list. ;) But it's cool that this waylaid you momentarily! \o/

I credit talitha78 for honing my sense of humour in vids--I love her talent at it and I was relieved to get her (giggle) stamp of approval on this one. ;)

[serenography.livejournal.com]

Almost forgot to leave a comment on this!

I.. just... there are almost no words to describe the happiness and thrill this video brings. Using Lex AND Ollie? BRILLIANT, and so appropriate. ;)

Of course I cracked UP at the whole Clana clip, ending with the leaves falling off the tree shot.

You need to do MORE Clark vids. There can never be enough after all.

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

I was SO thrilled to be able to use the Clana tree shot! Few vids allow scope for that comedy so this one was liberating that way.

ITA about needing to do more Clark vids--that has become evident! ;)

[areasontofight.livejournal.com]

I've been meaning to watch this for days and I'm so glad I finally got around to it - it's awesome and hilarious and hot. I don't think I ever realised how much Clark has gotten around over the course of the show... Superslut! :D

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, yeah when you put it all together, it's quite a bit!

[fotw-sv.livejournal.com]

LMAO That was great! I loved it! The way Clark reacts is always funny when it comes to woman in his life. You captured that humor perfectly! This is a keeper! Thanks!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Cool! Thanks for the feedback! :)

[spinkkitty.livejournal.com]

this vid was the cutest

befuddled clark is too adorable. loved the i hope my bf don't mind it bits with lex

heeheee

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you! ;) I had fun with it.

don't mean i'm on love tonight

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

Way cool use of the lyrics and interesting editing. Love the "cherry chapstick" interpretations.

Re: don't mean i'm on love tonight

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ;) I nearly put 'brought to you by RedK' at the end of the vid, because really, that made it VERY easy! ;)

[thirdblindmouse.livejournal.com]

Hee! I love Chloe's "cherry chapstick", and the intercut at 0:58-ish makes me giggle every time. 1:02-ish: Aw, enjoying the heterosexuality, Clark? Clark looks so modest in the "good girls" sequence, and then so frazzled at "confused" (although he is the rare case that can say "I have no clue what just happened; it wasn't me." and be completely honest). *snicker* I haven't seen season ...6?, so the context of some of the Lois stuff at the end is lost on me, but it tells a good story on its own. *loves every second of your vid, as usual*

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks! Yeah, there was quite a bit from an ep called 'Crimson' in season 6. Poor confuzzled Clark--he does have a hard time of it. ;)

[tragicllyhip.livejournal.com]

Ok, i'm very late because i generally don't watch videos, but it was rec'd at the justtomwelling community so I watched it and it was so good! and so hot! LOL, but mostly it was reaally well done, and I love the song, so perfect, so i just wanted to tell you that, even if its a bit late:D

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you! There is no 'late' anyway--it's great to hear you watched it despite not watching a lot of vids.

AND I've been meaning to run back and comment to you because... drumroll (ha!) ... I had an epiphany about the Clois in Bride! I now understand a lot better why it unsettled me so much (kind of embarrassing personal reasons!) but also can see what you guys were talking about now more clearly. \o/ I'm so relieved! So thank you: it did come, it just took some working through! ;)

[svgurl.livejournal.com]

That was so funny! I loved it! A vid with Clark to this song ... priceless. And you did it so well. The clips moved perfectly to this song!

Wonderful job!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks dear!

[christina-kat.livejournal.com]

This is seriously HOT!!
God his face..his lips....his body...
thanks for sharing!!!

Clark in action WOOHOO

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

:D Yay! No worries--thanks for commenting! He's definitely delicious.

[grimorie.livejournal.com]

Ooh. I love this a lot! And you're entirely right, this is about Clark!

Also, I love that midway the POV shifted briefly to Lois but Clark was still the girl! Also love that you ended with Clark's reaction to the hydro kiss. I *loved* that reaction shot.

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

I love that midway the POV shifted briefly to Lois but Clark was still the girl!
Hee hee, you spotted that! \o/ It was a risk but the vid was so playful I thought I'd give it a go. And yeah, I still adore that reaction shot from Hydro and it was one of the first things I thought of when I planned the vid.

[lacylaces.livejournal.com]

What a sexy and fun video! A Clark lover's dream. Clark has gotten a lot of lip action over the course of the show. You forget that sometimes.

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Yes! It is easy to forget--I thought I'd have trouble sourcing for this. HA!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Oh darling this is so unbelievably FUN and adorable! Firstly the premise of juxtaposing Clex with all the random girls Clark has kissed during the show is perfection. And the slow build up of some sweet shippy Chlois at the end is just too good. Totally <3 this!!!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Fun, check! Hooray, I'm glad you liked it. It was a real break from my usual serious fare and I had a LOT of fun making it! :)

[mskatej.livejournal.com]

ILU.

I. LOVE. YOU. That was just the most phenomenally sexy, funny, brilliant, genius vid. GUH. (Thank you for streaming it btw; I still have not worked out how to play your vids on my computer, dammit! *stoopid*)

So good. Tom is delicious, and you really captured the sweetness in his sex appeal. ♥

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

The divx codec--you needs it! ;) I would have had streaming up a lot earlier but both imeem and YouTube were thwarting me!

I'm thrilled you liked it! I hoped you would, being a big Tom and Clark fan! *happy*

[thedeadparrot.livejournal.com]

This is incredibly hilarious and awesome and hot. I do love how you've managed to sort of re-gender the song. And Clark's 'oh noes! boobies!' face will never not be adorable.

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

It is true, he is adorableness personified. Glad you liked! ;)
