This video is all about a guy dressed as a dog mascot. Too bad he isn't a bull dog. This thing is lame.
Doggie is resting in a huge garage. The Suicide Machines start up their amps and the music wakes up Chewy, the dog. Chewy's costume has working eyes, by the way. Chewy waves the band off and leaves through a large doggie door.
Chewy walks as Suicide Machines - and did I ever expect to type that when I started this blog? - sings about a girl. There's just something about her. She's attractive, truthful, and makes the singer forget about all that's wrong in the world. Meanwhile, Chewy sees his love, which is a fire hydrant. BAD Chewy! Don't undermine your owners' song!
Next wee see Chewy walking along until he sees a real dog. The dog tries to attack Chewy but is held back by a couple women. Not for long, though. Chewy eventually ties the dog to a tree and tells the owners to curb their pet. Owners look flustered even though it was their dog who attacked and their dog is unharmed. We get the chorus and singer tells us that it still feels like the first time he's done stuff with his girl even though they've been together for a while. He thinks about her all the time and buys things for her. Poor dope.
Chewy starts acting like a jerk. He sucker punches one guy and faints in front of a girl for obvious reasons. ...
Ok, so the song is not about a girl but this guy's dog. Look, I'm not very good at hearing lyrics so I rely heavily on websites that provide them. Singer talks about not getting angry at his naughty dog. He just want to scratch it's back as it licks his hands. Yeah, see how that doesn't work the other way.
Chewy is getting belly rubs from his victim. Then he squats down and gets a couple stink faces from passerbys. Damnit, Chewy! We get the refrain again as Chewy plays with the band in the park. He even humps an old woman because that's so WACKY! I hope he gets the rolled up newspaper of justice for that one.
Singer sings about how he likes when his pal chases cats and stuff. Meanwhile, Chewy chases a mailman. I bet that mailman is terrified. Singer says a swear when he brings up the baths Chewy needs from time to time. Singer even takes his dog out from time to time. This gets us a shot of Chewy in a convertible with his head hanging outside. Then he harasses a woman. I wonder if I wore a costume like that I would merely get a smack for biting a woman.
Chewy returns after a trip to the store and shows the band what he brought. Headphones! Get it!? Oh, that Chewy!
I didn't think I would like this song when I first played it but it grew on me a bit. I just wish they got a better dog costume for the video. Chewy just annoys me when he should be cute and wacky.
The awesome part of this video is the crazy braids wore by the woman who owned the other dog.

Well, that's part of the gimmick of this song. At first you think he's singing about a girl, but as it goes on their relationship starts to sound weirder and weirder (and maybe even kind of creepy) until the lightbulb blinks on and you realize he's singing about his dog. Then suddenly the song is adorable. He loves his puppy. :o)
The awesome part is Chewy trying to take down the mailman.
Your new song is kind of a classic, so you should not persist in going on any longer without having heard it:

I wonder if they named the band Suicide Machines after a lyric in Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run".
