Synopsis

In a black-and-white East London neighborhood, Graham Coxon performs "Ooh, Yeh Yeh" while moving through quiet residential streets. The apparently ordinary setting is disrupted by a strange figure assembled from falling clothes, which flickers into view as if briefly given human form. Coxon's understated performance and the video's jumpy editing create an off-kilter, early-morning atmosphere: familiar streets become slightly unreal, and a simple walk turns into a small piece of surrealist street theater.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was made on an exceptionally small budget, following the earlier Coxon collaboration "What'll It Take."
  • The clothing character was created by filming garments as they were dropped and selecting the few frames in which they briefly appeared to have the shape of a person.
  • Coxon described the song's starting point as the strange feeling of getting up early to buy milk and encountering someone who has been out all night.
  • The video was shot in a sunlit East London street but presented in black and white, giving the everyday setting a stark, slightly dreamlike quality.
  • "Ooh, Yeh Yeh" appears as the closing track on Coxon's 2012 album "A+E."
