Shoot The Dog - George Michael

The critics gave this song a real bashing when it was released, although I think it stands up pretty well among the rest of George Michael's work. Maybe there was some kind of covert political agenda.

The video is a classic, packed full of pop-culture references and flashbacks to Michael's earlier incarnations, and rips into Tony Blair. I never see him now without thinking "good puppy, good puppy".



In case you're wondering, the annoying woman who pops up in the middle is Geri Halliwell, one of George's friends.

The video is by the team behind Brit satirical animation show 2DTV - check out the box sets:
