You won't need a 2:1 in Media Studies to deconstruct this video's complex semiotics

In yesterday's Song Of The Day blurb — for Cahill's quite excellent new version of 'Sex Shooter'…

[audio:sexshootershort.mp3]

…we noted that "if the video doesn't feature some sort of dance routine featuring
pretty ladies making gun shapes with their hands and 'shooting' 'sex'
with their fingers there is going to be BIG TROUBLE".

Well, the video hasn't been sent out yet but Cahill's people have now been kind enough to send us a screengrab.
