One Direction channel Elvis Presley in "Kiss You"

One Direction cruises through fake desert, goes skiing on a green screen and plays it up in their just-released comical video for "Kiss You" was chosen as the second US single from English-Irish boy band's sophomore studio album, "Take Me Home," which has landing at the summit on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. As the result, One Direction became the first British band to have their first and second albums both debut at the summit in the US.
In standard One Direction style, the boys woo their fans with passionate lyrics, the song utilizes a metronome with a fast tempo, and combines elements of uptempo, upbeat dance-pop, power pop and teen pop. The song has a live band feel. With "Kiss You," One Direction releases another single where they play the underdog that will do anything to woo over the girl of their dreams. They acknowledge insecurities, send a positive message and just want to have fun. Nothing about the video is meant to be serious, and the set-ups are as bouncy and colorful as the song's tempo and vibe.
It's a dark, brooding avant-garde work of postmodern torment. The Vaughan Arnell-directed video for "Kiss You" finds the boy banders dress as prisoners and paying homage to "The King," Elvis Presley. The jailhouse jumpsuits and cute-sy surfing reference "Jailhouse Rock" and "Blue Hawaii" respectively, two of Elvis' best movies! It opens with the guys riding a motorcycle, carousing down the open road being projected behind them, as they sing the flirty opening lines of the song. It's clear the guys are out to make viewers laugh at their every interaction with each other.
It seems that the clip has everything a Directioner could ever dream of, and the quintet are a bunch of happy sailors on leave. The embark upon an epic adventure also features the X Factor UK alums on sailing, surfing, skiing, motorcycle adventures and a whole lot of gratuitous posing. While the guys aren't stirring any pots, they are having a good time in the 'pure stupidity' clip finds the guys tangled up in some wacky shenanigans and escapades, all for the sake of comedy, strutting around in a "Jailhouse Rock" backdrop as well as in several other all-American scenes that pair well with the song's syrupy sweet pop hooks.
