Background
[edit | edit source]The vocalist featured in the song is Mehdi Pinson from the band Scenario Rock, under the pseudonym of DVNO. According to band member Xavier de Rosnay, the title of the song stands for "Divino", which refers to "In every suburb of the world, in every city, there’s always a nightclub called El Divino... Clubs where you have to wear a white shirt to get in."[4]
Music video
[edit | edit source]Directed by So-Me, Yorgo Tloupas, and Machine Molle,[5] the music video is a highly stylized partial lyric video, featuring portions of the song's lyrics in the form of famous animated company logo graphics from the era of Scanimate and early CGI. Notable featured company logos are those of Channel 4, NBC, PBS, HBO, Sony, Sega, Cannon Films, 20th Century Fox, CBS/Fox Video, and Universal Pictures, including that of sister company Universal Parks & Resorts. The final animation segment pays homage to Cannell Entertainment's production logo, with duo members Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé making an appearance.
Appearances in film and television
