There wis a cooncillor... (tae the tune o A Scottish Soldier) There wis a cooncillor, a Labour cooncillor, she had been oot aw day, this wis a Saturday She wis a cooncillor, this Labour cooncillor, She'd focht oan pollin day, an focht an won... She beat the Tory, an loved tae bore ye wi tales sae spurious an mak ye furious, but noo she's silent, cos she wis violent, an lamped the long airm o the law... An she wis reelin, she wis squealin, "Ah'm a cooncillor! Ah'm a cooncillor!" Oh she wis reelin, she wis squealin, "Don't you know who I-ee am?" An noo this cooncillor, this Labour cooncillor, who had been oot aw day an drinkin hard aw day tho nearly fallin, heard music callin, wantit tae dance away until the dawn... She hailed a taxi, doon tae the Palais, where she could dance away, an pit mair drink away but when she got there, there wis a queue there, an there the long airm o the law... An she wis reelin, she wis squealin, "Ah'm a cooncillor! As she wis deckin him, she wis threatenin him, "Ah'm a cooncillor!
Wings over Sealand | In your electronic arms Alert WoS viewers will have seen this a while ago, but as it's my all-time favourite piece of videogames-related art it's worth repeating for the hundreds of new readers of WoSblog. Once you've grasped what it is you won't expect that you're going to watch all nine minutes of it. But you will. Using videogames to make art isn't the same as videogames being art, of course. But The Longest Life (the clip's rarely-used actual title) has certainly used a videogame to create art, and that's probably enough italics for now. Ironically, it's trying far too hard to be "arty", with neither direction nor technology that's up to the job (although the wave goodbye at the very end is funny). It's not hard to interpret your own meaning about various stages of life in individual segments of the clip, particularly in conjunction with the words of the song. It's entirely possible the artist never intended any of this, of course.
