comment |
“Starlight Brigade” is a song by Tupper Ware Remix Party and Dan Avidan of Ninja Sex Party. It’s notable for having an Animated Music Video that manages to cram a complete Space Opera epic into less than four minutes.On an alien planet, blue-skinned child Strive contemplates the night sky. Wonder turns to horror as a sinister polyhedron appears and absorbs all of the stars.Years later, a despondent Strive is mourning the empty sky when a mysterious space ship crash-lands nearby. Strive blasts off and joins the Starlight Brigade to take the fight to the star-thieves.Wonder, heroism and really good music ensue, right here. |

All There in the Manual: The protagonist isn't named in the video itself, but was referred to as Strive by the animators. |

Ramming Always Works: The team defeats the aliens by ramming through the force field and then through the polyhedron, causing it to explode and take out the enemy ships (and returning the stars to the sky). |

Changed for the Video: The music video is roughly a minute shorter than the version on ''Together Through Time,'' removing some lyrics, an extended solo after the second chorus, and an extended outro that originally faded out. |
