I change my mind about the “Birthday” music video.
Instead of the old simple “Super Bass”-ish video that I originally wanted, I want the video to have this old, grainy film feel as if were shot 20-40 years ago. The video would show this guy, who’s just always down on his luck, especially with love, as Katy’s co-star. Katy plays a 50s/60s pin-up type character who is constantly appearing in the mans life. The man doesn’t even know who she is, but every time they meet, they have a good time. There would be scenes with them in a 70s roller rink disco, in an amusement park (Disneyland would be nice. A scene with Katy and the guy riding the teacups would be cute), and on a beach. The bridge would show the guy in his bedroom with his birthday cake in front of him and Katy posing and modeling for him in pin-up girl attire. Right when she says “it’s time to bring out the big, big, big, big, big, big balloons”, it cuts to the guy's living room, where Katy and a bunch of friends throw a surprise party for the guy. The video ends with Katy whispering “happy birthday” and blowing out the candles in the guy's bedroom.
What do y'all think?
