I have heard this song so many times but had never seen the video...

One Day Like This - Elbow

I hope this isn't a set up with an actor/dancer, this dude has taken a shitty job and has to stand on a street corner holding an advertising sign, it's demeaning to a human being, he's expected to be a bloody lamppost but... He gives the job some style he says "fuck you" to his employers and does his job HIS way. I think it's brilliant and he deserves to be applauded for it.

...Mind you that's just my interpretation.

I was just joking. I just meant if someone wanted to actually go look at the condominiums, they wouldn't know which way to turn because he keeps flipping the sign.
