Andrew Goodwin: The 6 defining features of a music video
 |
| The students drawing of Eddie |
Parts of the video feature iron maiden during a stage performance, a defining feature for metal videos. Iron Maiden can be seen live at there life after death concert on a small TV covered in cob webs, another Goodwin feature. This is part of the many intertextual references shown in the video, the first being Eddie both being drawn and appearing in the sky.

There is also multiple "references to notion of looking," firstly is the picture of the band inside the magazine and the other is the band on the TV playing live in concert.
