Yeah, me too. The video has helped change the way I think about the tarot deck as well.
I read somewhere that the graffiti painting of the rat sitting on the deckchair was a satirical statement on the decline of British beaches. I can't help thinking about the scene in Angel Heart, with Mickey Rourke talking to the guy at Coney Island -
"What do you do here in the winter?" Angel asks.
"I bite the heads off rats!" he replies.
"So what do you do here in the summer?".
"Same thing, bite the heads off rats". "Here..." he says, "have a plastic nose guard.
I found a box of them under the boardwalk".
"This'll come in handy where I'm going." Says Angel.
"Where's that?"
"Louisiana".
"Nice".
