Always Hanging on a String

Posted by on Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 10:39 AM

In the way I want to write a line-by-line analysis of "Rapper's Delight" ("...now what you hear is not a test..."), I want write an image-by-image analysis of the video for one of the most magical pop tunes ever composed, "Hangin' On A String (Contemplating)":

I watch this video at least once a month and never find the bottom to its beauty—beautiful voices, clothes, those ropes. And those faces: Carl McIntosh (black Caribbean beauty), Jane Eugene (black American beauty), and Steve Nichol (black British beauty). I can't stop contemplating them all. ("Baby, I feel it too, but what am I supposed to do?")
