8. You get it right next time
I'm going to create a music video for the song "You get it right next time” by Gerry Rafferty.
The reason I chose the song is because it doesn't already have a music video and it is catchy to listen to.

9. Get It Right Next Time lyrics Out on the street I was talkin' to a man He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand" You shouldn't worry yes that ain't no crime Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time next time You need direction yeah you need a name When you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same After a while you can recognize the signs So if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time next time Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet No use complainin', don't you worry don't you whine Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time next time You gotta grow you gotta learn by your mistakes You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake When you believe there's no mountain you can climb And if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time next time, Next time, hmmmmm

10. Ideas for music video
I would like to use stickmen in the music video and focus the most on them.
I would have them doing the actions explained in the lyrics and then do crazy special effects with them like having some stickmen in a spinning portal and being sucked down a bathroom sink.
I would use quite a lot of advanced computer animation programs to tell the lyrics story, A storyboard to plan the story and possibly voice over equipment give the stickmen personalities.
