In the video for Weekend! by Scooter there are several religions referred to... which ones are they and what part of the video? As well as Buddhism (already mentioned), the references are ...
1. Catholicism - the two weeping women amongst the candles (one with a crown of thorns and a rosary), and the monk right at the very beginning (in dark cloak and hood);
2. Hinduism - the Asian lady in a sari dancing in front of Ganesha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesh );
3. Roman Empire - singer's outfit (especially armoured breastplate and cape), slaves (holding him up in his "boat" - an oblique reference to galley slaves rowing), drummer (pounding out a beat, as he would to set the pace for the rowers), decadence (the lesbian kisses, as in various film and TV productions);
4. Martial arts (especially Japanese) - stick fighting, the katana (Japanese sword), and karate (the woman about to kick and break something being held by a man);
5. Science fiction - the small asexual beings (Close Encounters of the Third Kind), mutant faces coming out of bodies (Total Recall). Do you mean this Scooter video on youtube.com?
The first obvious one is right in the beginning, the topless guys in red pants are a play on the Buddhist religion. |
