This is a wonderful story of how an acting group, called mummers, used to play out a traditional theme play of characters performing at inns and private parties, to make money for Christmas dressed up in costumes and fancy dress outfits.


It’s not only women who wear fantasy makeup; men are beginning to wear fantasy makeup especially when going to fancy dress parties which are ‘themed’ for example ‘favourite fantasy hero’. Also men wear makeup to create a dramatic fashion statement; there are many web sites which are dedicated to men which provide ideas and inspiration.


" The View from the Afternoon " is a song by Arctic Monkeys originally released on the band's first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not in January 2006. It was also the lead track on the Who the Fuck are Arctic Monkeys EP. This release had an accompanying video.

Themes

The themes of "The View from the Afternoon" are based around observations of behaviour on an excursion into local nightlife. In a repeated verse, vocalist Alex Turner comments on the expectation that an evening that will be enjoyable will likely lead to disappointment. He describes various scenes; a group of meretricious females who have rented a limousine for a fancy dress party; a gambler who has won and then lost the jackpot on a fruit machine; text messaging through the lock/unlock function on a Nokia mobile phone; "two for the price of one" drinks promotions, which Turner explicitly blames for the drunkenness of the sender and his predicament.

Composition

Alex Turner:

Music video

The video is based around a young male in a parka jacket playing the drum part of the song in the middle of a courtyard between blocks of high rise flats. Then, there is a sequence of surreal elements; an Indian schoolgirl walks past wearing plastic devil horns; a running fox; three men trying to attract his attention of the drummer who ignores them; the drummer is fed milk by the schoolgirl and then a brief shot in colour of him washing himself in shallow water. The music stops and it is revealed that his drummer has led his hands to bleed. Then, a shot of man in the dark wielding a baseball bat; a brief shot of the moon which then appears to explode; an older man struggling to lift a dumbbell. Finally the man with the bat comes near to the drummer and is about to strike him but the audio stops and we see a last shot of the male being showered in what could be rain or the fragments of the moon. The video is shot in black and white and was filmed near Park Hill flats in the Arctic Monkeys' native city of Sheffield, directed by W.I.Z. for Factory Films. The video is analogous to the Hindu story of Shiva (dancer, drummer and master of creation) and his devoted girl who revitalises and pays tribute to him by bathing him in milk and honey (viewed by the Hindu religion as sacred) and his battle against those who wish to destroy all that is good.

Trivia

The lyric "you can never beat the bandit, no" refers to the same fruit machine that the Reverend and the Makers sing about on the song Bandits. Both of them describe losing out to the fruit machine.
