The music video to the song Parklife is mainly performance based but also features many narrative elements as well. The lead singer of Blur (Damon Albarn) and actor Phil Daniels are travelling around London trying to sell Windows. This video has some intertextuality linking to Tin Men which is about a door to door salesman. The Verses in this song are all spoken which links to a narrative style video as they travel from door to door. The video is also synched up with the song for example the cideo cuts when major drum beats occur. The majority of the video are close ups of the band which links to a performance based video. You can see in the video that they are all dressed to represent the genre of Brit Pop. Another piece of intertextuality is the reference to the Beatles album “Abbey Road” where the band walk single file over a zebra crossing.
