Tag, You're It Lyrics

"Tag, You're It"

Looking at me through your window
Boy, you had your eye out for a little
"I'll cut you up and make you dinner
You've reached the end, you are the winner"

Rolling down your tinted window
Driving next to me real slow, he said
"Let me take you for a joyride
I've got some candy for you inside"

Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Can anybody hear me when I'm hidden under ground?
Can anybody hear me? Am I talking to myself?
Saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
He's saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"

Little bit of poison in me
I can taste your skin in my teeth
"I love it when I hear you breathing
I hope to God you're never leaving"

Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Can anybody hear me when I'm hidden under ground?
Can anybody hear me? Am I talking to myself?
Saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"
He's saying, "tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"

Eenie meenie miny mo
Get your lady by her toes
If she squeals, don't let her go
Eenie meenie miny mo
Your mother said to pick the very best girl
And I am

Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Grabbed my hand, pushed me down
Took the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it
Running through the parking lot
He chased me and he wouldn't stop
Tag, you're it, tag, you're it
Grab my hand, push me down
Take the words right out my mouth
Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it

Potential Ideas For Music Video

With the Moonsea, the original promo video is very abstract leaving ample room for creativity. Harry's idea was a fight sequence as we felt a slowed fight sequence to accompany the song fit quite well. To test the idea we ran several fight scenes ( 'The Dark Knight Rises', 'Captain America' and 'Game of Thrones') alongside the music and it did work well.

We think that this may be a serious possibility as it's inventive, exciting and can tell and interesting story which are staples of  promo videos. Choreography and location of the fight will be key to getting the video to make sense and also editing will be a large part as many fast cuts will be required. 

We will not do the whole video as a fight as we feel that it could become stale so more thought is needed into the opening of it and which direction we can take when leading to the fight. Due to so many possibilities, it is difficult to define a clear choice.

Melanie Martinez - Tag, You're It (Possible Idea) 

Extract from the Cry Baby book that comes with the album.

Tag, You're It is about Cry Baby being kidnapped by a strange man and sexually assaulted.

Lines like "Let me take you for a joyride//I've got some candy for you inside" are sung from the perspective of her attacker or "the wolf". The distortion of her voice lends a sense of sinister intentions as that is a stereotypical convention of a deep/distorted voice - it also links to the idea "the wolf" being male as a male's voice is usually deeper than a female's. "Candy" and "joyride" are typical attributes associated with paedophiles (since Cry Baby is still a adolescent at this moment in time of the story).  

Throughout the chorus, "Tag" is used a metaphor for sexual assault. The repetition of "Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it" shows that this traumatic event has taken a toll on Cry Baby - forcing her to replay the scenario over and over again in her mind. "Running through the parking lot, he chased me and her wouldn't stop//Tag, you're it, tag, tag, you're it"  

The following song is called "Milk and Cookies" where Cry Baby poisons her attacker with melatonin filled cookies. Due to the meaning behind this song being maybe the deepest/darkest track on the album, it would allow us to explore mature themes. However, in the Cry Baby story book; the man is represented as a wolf who is an ice cream man - playing on the child-like dark concept of the album. Because of this, we could approach the song as being hunted in the woods by someone.

Our Initial Group Idea

The Wolf/fantasy themed story arc

Characters:

• Keenan (Warlock)
• Kieran (Rogue)
• Harry (Warrior)

Location: 

• Broken castle
• Large fields.

Song: The Wolf

1st Scene	Fade into knight with sword almost impaled into the ground, slow Mo of knight standing up and standing with sword getting ready to fight.
2nd Scene	Switch to knight over shoulder shot to show an approaching person, thief looking person that is wielding a sword also.
3rd Scene	Slow Mo walk around anticipating battle. Shots on both of the people and their points of views.
4th Scene	Knight swings his sword at the rogue but the rogue dodges and the way. This then leads into a flashback to give the story some back-story.
CHORUS	This will continue the fight scene with slow motion being the main feature in this fight to fit the theme and pace of it.
5th Scene	The general idea at this point onwards is to introduce backstory and not have the entire video a fight scene but only leave that at the chorus.

The general plan is to add a side story involving another character maybe a seller or a merchant. The idea would be the warrior character would start making a friendship with this character from selling him new things and the warrior going out and using these maybe tools to do things etc.

This will then lead on to the thief holding up the shop to steal money or killing the shop keeper.
