The girl in the earliest scenes of the video. First Ana speaks, and then you see a girl with long hair and a skirt walking into a building and stepping into an elevator. I am not sure who see is, but she looks as cute as Ana Matronic herself!

It's as gay as hell, but hey—I like it.

I must say that, although I'm not a fan of most music, I Can't Decide was pretty funny, in a sardonic way. It was used in two things I like. Firstly, the ending of the Zero Punctuation review of Bioshock, and secondly, as part of a darkly comic sequence from the Doctor Who episode The Last of the Timelords.

I am falling for women, real women that is :) I mean the girl walking into the building and elevator before running into Ana. She is damn sexy. Is she an actress of any fame or just a local model hired for the video?

It's a very good question! I love them and definitely think they can be super campy. But that doesn't mean they're not good. I mean, look at every other 'big band' out there. They have their fantastic songs and their awful songs. Not every SS song is going to be a hit, but who cares? I love funny music and they do a great job of it, but they can also do serious songs, and they seem to really have something to say.

My boyfriend can't stand them. He thinks they're too weird!
