lyrics:

You are subject to inspection
Those are not your lips
Have you been kissed by a computer?
Are you able to move your hips?

It's the skins, have you seen them?
Holding us in
The skins, can you seen them?
We cling to our skin

Is it true, are you changing?
If so I won't come in
Are you going to be so different?
What's so wrong with our skin?

Randy Burgess where are you now
The age of innocence is dead
Legions of legends have shown us how

When you're raging it's so hard to keep your head
When you're raging it's so hard to keep your head
I'm not complaining it's so hard to keep my head
When you're raging it's so hard to keep your head

That was awesome! Spooky and fun and perfect song!

[such_heights]

Yay, thanks very much!

[sasha_feather]

This is a wonderful vid! It was a hit at the show. :D I'm downloading for myself right now.

[such_heights]

I'm so pleased, thank you! :D

[glinda]

Hee, so much fun! :D

[such_heights]

Thanks a lot!

[beccatoria]

Ha! Great song for the trope - great fun vid! Particularly gleeful at all the Farscape stuff; I'd totally forgotten about that early S1 episode when Aeryn got bug-cloned!

[such_heights]

Thank you! Farscape has ALL the fun with this trope, it's so great.

[sophinisba]

Yay, very sexy and cool!

[such_heights]

:D Thank you!

[trouble]

That was an awesome choice of song, and a great vid!

[such_heights]

Thanks very much!

[thingswithwings]

This is so awesome and sexy and gorgeous! Doppelgangers and identity-porn and existential horror are one of my favourite shivery scifi things, so basically I love this vid to pieces, because you found all those identity-freakout-moments and stamped on them. <3

[such_heights]

eee, thank you so much! I'm glad I tapped into that for you. :D

[theleaveswant]

Oh, nicely done! Really, perfectly, uncanny. Such a delicious air of menace to it, even towards the ends when the doubles start to get a little, er, friendlier. Thank you for sharing!

[such_heights]

Mm, delicious menace - thank you very much!

[emei]

Oooh, awesome! I know far from all the fandoms in this but it works really well anyway, all the shivery-spooky-funny-sexy identity porn. :D

[such_heights]

Yay, thanks so much!

[gorgeousnerd]

So much flail, I don't know where to start! I mean, this is one of my long-time favorite songs, and there were a lot of my fandoms in here, so it was amazing to see them put together. I'll have to watch it a couple more times in order to fully divorce the images from their source, too. (Darn.)

Great work!

[such_heights]

Hurray, thank you so much!

[livrelibre]

Awesome!

[such_heights]

Thank you! :D

[mrkinch]

This is fabulous! Scary in the beginning, then the change-up caught me completely by surprise and I loved the second part even more.

[such_heights]

Yay, thanks very much!

[mresundance]

That was fun! It was creepy and totally entertaining.

Also: The Scissor Sisters need to be vidded more often. :D

[such_heights]

Thank you very much! And omg, they are seriously so much fun to vid, so I quite agree. :D

[aria]

AHHH I WATCHED IT AT THE VID PARTY AND IT WAS SO DELIGHTFUL AND AWESOME, AND EVERY TIME THAT DOUBLE ABEDS CAME UP ON SCREEN, EVERYONE IN THE ROOM CHEERED

BASICALLY IT WAS A BIG HIT AND I LOVED IT AND SO I AM CAPSLOCKING AT YOU <3

[such_heights]

YAYYYY, I am so happy you liked it! And oh my god, people cheering about Abed via my vid is basically the greatest thing I have ever heard. :DDDD Thank youuu!

[tardis_stowaway]

This vid requires at least two parallel universes to hold its awesomeness. I love it!

[such_heights]

Yay, thanks so much!

[scintilla10]

Oh, this is fantastic. *___*

[such_heights]

:D Thank you!

[copracat]

Creepy and very enjoyable!

[such_heights]

Hurray, thank you!

[hibernate]

This is amazing!! Ooooh, I love my doubles, I so very much do. :D

[such_heights]

I'm so glad you enjoyed, thank you!

[calapine]

That was so cool.

[such_heights]

Thanks very much! :D

[revolutionaryjo]

This concept is so genius! I love the way you've incorporated all these fandoms!

[such_heights]

Thank you very much! It's so nice to have finally got this done - though inevitably yet more fandoms will play with this trope soon. :D

[settiai]

Oh, this was awesome.

[such_heights]

Thanks so much!

[(Anonymous)]

Loved the vid. Here on a rec from settiai and downloading, thanks!

[such_heights]

Thank you very much!

[china_shop]

Oh, how awesome! *applauds*

[such_heights]

\o/ Thank you!

[mergatrude]

Wonderful!

This is so fascinating! What struck me is how in almost all situations (that I recognised) the doppelganger is a threat, except (for the most part, sorry Martha) in Doctor Who!

[such_heights]

Thanks very much! And yes, Doctor Who definitely goes in for the friendly doppelgangers in a big way, and even Martha gets to connect with her evil clone at the end.

[avendya]

Of course you made this vid. :D

[such_heights]

*takes a bow*
