This video is nearly perfect. The song's rhythm and lyrics call back to the joy of being a kid and running down the street. As for the images, not only do they celebrate human action (pure film in the Richard Lester sense) they also work as a satire on "stardom." Notice the little sub-stories, especially when Paul Simon recruits a ringer. When Mickey Mantel arrives, his fame punctuates all the talent built up. Wonderful editing -- completely charming.
