The narrative behind:
Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith – La La La
The video starts off with a little deaf boy
being abused by a father, which leads to him running away to the street where
there is was a God like figure. This figure gave the boy a Dog, representing
the lion from the Wizard of Oz.
The boy and the lion then find the tin man,
who is need of a heart. Therefore the boy find the tin man a heart. However
because the video is quite modern, they buy the heart from a man on the street.
Suggesting that in this modern time, we can buy anything from anywhere at
anytime.
They continue the journey and pickup the
scarecrow. The scarecrow needs to be set free in the story of The Wizard of Oz,
and in the music video the same happens. They get it away from its street job
and he tags along on the journey.
As the video continues, there is a TV with
an advert for Naughty Boy’s album – Hotel Cabana. This is almost a subliminal
message to the viewers that’s noticeable after a few watches.
At the end of the video, the little boy
gets walked in to the cave and is sacrificed to the devil. This is told in the
video, however the second storyline – El Tîno – is suggested. This story is
where the devil has the power to kill the town if he is not fed. However in the
video, the boy sacrifices himself and because he is deaf he cannot hear the
devils orders. Therefore the locals live.
