Synopsis

A getaway driver waits in a parked Ford Granada while three bank robbers carry out a heist. Rather than nervously watching the road, he enthusiastically dances and mouths along to Mint Royale's pulsing electronic track. When the robbers return, the driver's carefree mood clashes with their urgency, turning the escape into a tightly edited, playful crime scenario. The video mixes deadpan comedy, stylish action and music-driven movement, with the driver's behavior making the song feel like part of the scene rather than mere background accompaniment.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video features Noel Fielding as the driver, with Julian Barratt, Nick Frost and Michael Smiley playing the three bank robbers.

• The concept became closely associated with Edgar Wright's later feature film "Baby Driver." The 2017 movie expands the same basic idea of a music-obsessed getaway driver, and the "Blue Song" video itself appears briefly on a television in the film.

• "Blue Song" was released as a single in January 2003 and reached No. 35 on the UK Singles Chart.

• The track appears on Mint Royale's 2002 album "Dancehall Places."

• The video helped connect Mint Royale with the comedy and cult-film scene surrounding "The Mighty Boosh," "Spaced" and "Shaun of the Dead," through its cast.
