Mini Music Video- Analyzing the song;

After I analyzing Kirsty MacColl's "These Shoes" I found that the song is about a women singing about an adventure she has experienced with a man she's met on holiday. In basics, its explains that you can tell a lot about a person from the shoes they wear.

Kirsty MacColl- "These Shoes" Lyrics
I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said "Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock"
I said "In these shoes?
I don't think so"
I said "Honey, let's do it here."

So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said "I've got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day."
I said "In these shoes?
No way, Jose"
I said "Honey, let's stay right here."

From this our group decided to exploit the representation of different stereotypes and the unique styles they encounter focusing on their shoes.
