If you didn't know,
She & Him not only have a new album, but a new video for their latest single "I Could Have Been Your Girl." It's whimsical humor mixed in with the sunshine 60s nostalgia we've learned to love and expect from the indie duo. In watching the video, however, I couldn't help but be reminded of the video for their 2010 single "In the Sun" (you can watch it
here) in which the flirtatious cat and mouse game and peppy choreography similarly run strong.
So, what makes a She & Him video a She & Him video? Is it the flouncy skirts? The cool eye winks, or the affinity for charming arm gestures? We analyze by doing a side-by-side comparison of the two videos:
And the five key elements are....
1. Dramatic, Glee-Like Group Shots: 
2. A Bookwormish M. Ward with Cool Sunglasses:
3. The Male-Led Damsel Lift: 
4. Props. Lots and Lots of Random Props: 
5. The Zooey Deschanel Signature Full Body Lift:
