MUSIC FROM SPACE: Nora Jones - CHASING PIRATES

Nora Jones has produced some striking music and some unforgettable, surreal music videos. But while her latest single Chasing Pirates doesn't do too much for me, I had to link to it anyway because the video appears to be based on the Crimson Permanent Assurance pirates from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life!



I wonder if this was an intentional swipe (sorry, "homage") or if the person who directed this video came upon the idea of the sailing pirate building independently. Jones' video does look good (and Jones herself is ravishing as always), but I'd say the special effects are actually better in the 1983 original!
