Music video
Two official music videos were shot for the song “Grazy Beat”. The first video shows the band members playing a song in a room similar to a power station in which a green electrical discharge appears. The discharge gradually turns into a monster, which then attacks people in the pub. An alternative video shows four girls in brown dresses and white wigs dancing to the rhythm of the song an unusual dance.
Cover
The single's cover has a satirical connotation, alluding to the British royal family . The image itself was re-framed with the graffiti of underground artist Banksy , which was painted on the wall of a building in Stoke Newington . In September 2009, by decision of the London City Council, the drawing was painted over in black against the will of the owner of the building, who was not against graffiti on the wall. [one]
