Aura Dione feat. Rockmafia – Friends

Feeling mateless? Just been dumped? Then this is the video for you.

Tim: Feeling mateless? Just been dumped? Then this is the video for you.

Tom: Also if you want an introduction that reminds you of both Dido and Whigfield.

Tim: So we have here a lady who’s just been broken up with, but tells us she’s alright because she’s got her friends. Well, either that break-up hit her very hard indeed emotionally or I’m entirely sympathetic to the bloke who chucked her. Because, and I’m sorry to break this to you if you’re reading this, Aura, that’s not a friend – it’s a weird shoe-robot that’s the weirdest type of companion I’ve seen since Lauri’s weird puppet thing, Amanda, about a year ago.

Tom: She’d get on well with Olly Murs, then. Although her companion is rather well animated, I must say.

Tim: Well-animated, yes. But MADE OF SHOES.

Basically, Aura, you shouldn’t be playing backgammon with it, you shouldn’t be baking a cake with it, you should be making actual friends and moving on – maybe even ask that nice policeman out on a date, rather than lying to him about your weird-is-putting-it-lightly house guest. Because what sort of a message are you sending out? That everyone will be happy after a breakup if they can only build a robot out of their obscene collection of footwear? Come on now.

Tom: Well, quite. Er, the music, though?

Tim: Oh yes, we probably should talk about it. Well, there’s a dec—OH BLOODY HELL SHE WEARS LAMPSHADES ON HER HEAD, so can’t we just move on?

Tom: I thought it was quite a good track, actually.
