This Katy Perry 'plastic bag' American Beauty crossover is wonderfully idiotic

When plastic bag metaphors collide

"Do you ever feel / like a plastic bag / drifting through the wind / wanting to start again?" Katy Perry famously questions at the opening of 'Firework', forever bringing to mind that scene in American Beauty where Ricky videotapes the simple elegance of a plastic bag floating across a street.

For lack of anything better to do, someone finally united the two in one video, creating 47 seconds of surrealist pop mundanity.

At the time of writing it only has 3,000 views, which is criminal.

In case you missed them, here's the lyrics:

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, like a plastic bag, like a plastic bag?

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, like a plastic bag, like a plastic bag?

Like a plastic bag

Like a plastic bag

Like a plastic bag

Like a plastic bag

Like a plastic bag

Like a plastic bag

Like a plastic bag

Coz baby you're a plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Coz baby you're a plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

Plastic bag

The video is in a similar vein to this quite brilliant remix of Lenny Kravitz' 'Fly Away'.
