Backstreet Boys - I want it that way

 (Lines in Bold are lines that need to be changed or adjusted)

Montage of a smoker giving up smoking, using clips of tar on lungs, open heart surgery etc. that parody anti-smoking, and also clips that parody 'no gary no'.

Each time the singers take a breath through the song, the breath should get progressively more constricted and difficult, such that by the end it sounds like breathing through a tube.

Voice modulator, voicing device for people who have had their voice box removed.

Cheezy elevated camera rotating around the central figure - the smoker

Filmed in a school

Smoker:

This is my fire,

Cigarette lighter

I breathe, puff away,

I won't give you away

Each week, I buy a cart-

-on, you reach to my heart,

puff away,

I can't give you away

Tell me why (counting down 'til I can puff away)

Tell me why (teeth yellow but that's ok)

(tell me why) Cigarette: Don't ever let me hear you say

'I want to quit today'

Filmed at uni, time has passed

Lighter:

Ain't I your fire? Only

cigarette lighter? SO don't stray

to the other pocket

don't switch to P.K.

Smoker:

Tell me why (ain't nothing but a heartache)

Tell me why ('ve started thinking it's a mistake)

(tell me why) I choke with every breath I take, why

can't I give you away

Cigarette:

Now I can see that we've fallen apart

No longer just you and me

No matter the programme, you can't let me go

Smoker: You're deep down inside of me

My lungs, on fire

still I desire

You are (you are, you are, you are)

Cigarette:

I'm going to kill you!

Ain't nothing but a mistake

5 minutes every puff I take

Count back from when I'll pass away

I'm dying early

Tell me why (teeth yellow that's not pretty)

Tell me why (always scanning for an ash tray)

(tell me why) Friends smell me and they walk away (they always walk away)

My girlfriend left me / Girls steer clear of me

Tell me why (teeth yellow that's not pretty)

Tell me why (always scanning for an ash tray)

(tell me why) Friends smell me and they walk away (they always walk away)

Girls steer clear of me

Ideas – parody of quitting

'No gary no' style costumes (maybe)
