So what's DVNO stand for?
I've ALWAYS been a fan of that HBO logo and old intro (referenced at 00:40 mark). It's so dope how the sound filters once inside the "O" in the video.

And the ending of the video is dope too, referencing the closing credits of a production company with the motion picture of a guy at a desk ripping out a sheet of paper from his typewriter, paper floating up in the air, then the sequence changing into animated graphics, with the sheet of paper landing on a stack of papers that formed the production company's logo. Remember?
Can't get with the song, though.
That was always my favourite song off that album; which as a whole did fall a little short.
Does anyone know if there is a 12 of this out? All the usual outlets seem to come up blank...
Why did they take out the filtered slap bass mania? Is this the single-version?
The piano bit at the end works pretty well as a replacement though...
What was the production company that had the guy at the typewriter? I remember seeing that hundreds of times after some show I used to watch back in the 80s.
if i remember is was something & something. not sure what the letters were but it was like J&S or something like that. i THINK.
the show was probably 'the A Team'

that song was weak
the D*A*N*C*E video was great too. plus i love that song.
as you can hear they added a lot of sound effects for this video. not sure about the slap bass though...
According to band member Xavier de Rosnay, "DVNO" stands for "Divino." de Rosnay states, "In every suburb of the world, in every city, there's always a nightclub called El Divino... Clubs where you have to wear like a white shirt to get in
that is hilarious.
the music though, good god...that was tough to listen to.
It was probably the Cannell guy that someone else mentioned. The paper curls up into a C and there was a corny little soft rock electric guitar lick in there too. That's all I remember.
So are all those graphics homages to actual logos and shit? I caught the HBO and 20th Century Fox joints, but I figured most of the rest were spoofs on 80's graphical conventions/cliches rather than actual clips. can someone with better 80's TV game educate me?
and on the Ed Banger tip, I'm bout to go check that DJ Mehdi video again. The one with the two guys giving each other dap in increasingly complex ways. I love that schitt.
Dance was great for the first one million listens, but it most definitely got overplayed. "New Jack" is my personal favorite on that album. As for the rave-up, the Soulwax remix of "Phantom" is amazing.
But have a listen to the album version, I don't have it here but I distinctly remember a cheeky bass-solo on that.
The typewriter guy WAS Cannell. That was bugging me all day.
That PBS logo with the faces is fire. I still think there should be a graemlin with that logo saying "Please Be Serious" with the PBS in bold.
I swear I've seen a graemlin using that logo.
There is one, but it says "hoighty-toighty." It's cool, but the P.B.S thing is too perfect. Plus, PBS is serious, kinda. You get my drift.
For the video/graphics people here: does anyone know how these logos were made back in the day, pre-After Effects/Maya etc..?
Considering that I'm the face of PBS on this board, though, "serious" might be a stretch. Not that there aren't other PBS-affiliated folks on this board, but I ride hard for my people.
oh no doubt, I ride for PBS too. I was joking about the serious part. I just figured a good graemlin could be made out of the letters P.B.S.
I know some of this stuff is actually models. I remeber when I was a kid I saw a thing on HBO about thier moving intro. The "HBO" letter were actually a small model that they filmed as well as the city they pan over. I think a lot of the old stuff is the real deal with lighting effect added as well as "cell" work (if that's the right term).
Quite frankly I think that old hand made stuff beats the hell out of this CGI crap. The only point of CGI is to try to make it realistic, but it doesn't look cool.
