Home and Dry

"Home and Dry" is a song by British music group Pet Shop Boys released in 2002 as the first UK single and the second US single from their album Release. It reached the top 15 on the UK Singles Chart at #14 and peaked at #44 on the US Hot Dance Club Play.

One of the B-sides, "Sexy Northener", was also released as a promotional single in the U.S. and peaked at #15 on the US dance charts. It never got a commercial release though.

The song is infamous to Pet Shop Boys fans for its unusual video, directed by Wolfgang Tillmans, showing mice running across tracks and eating discarded food at Tottenham Court Road tube station. There are only several short shots of the duo performing. Many felt this was a strange choice for the video of a lead single, and that because of its commercially unappealing video, the song did not achieve the level of success it could have.

The track was remixed the same year by German trance duet Blank & Jones.

    Background and content

    This song was written by Rob Thomas, Jay Stanley, John Leslie Goff and Brian Yale while performing together in the early 1990s band Tabitha's Secret. The lyrics are inspired by Thomas as an adolescent having to live with a mother fighting to survive cancer.

    Music video

    The video (directed by Gavin Bowden) features the band sitting on sides of a street next to some telephone booths. A supermarket is also shown. The video switches from color video images to black-and-white images. During the introduction and the third verse of the song, Thomas walks in the middle of the street with some construction signs and lights. During the third verse, a car stops with a bare-chested man and a woman inside. The man walks out, revealing a catheter in his chest, and is handed three cigarettes by Thomas. Finally, during the last two choruses, the band is shown playing their instruments ending with an image of Thomas standing next to the telephone booths.

    3 A.M. (2012 film)

    3AM (Thai: ตีสาม 3D) is a 3D anthology horror film directed by Patchanon Tummajira, Kirati Nakintanon and Isara Nadee, and released in Thailand on November 22, 2012. It is composed of three short films with different themes, united by a common motif of the 3 A.M. hour, considered as the time when supernatural things tend to occur.

    Synopsis

    3AM is divided into three stories: The Wig, Corpse Bride, and O.T. None of the stories intersect; however, they do have a common motif of having supernatural things occur around 3 A.M.

    The Wig

    Sisters May (Focus Jirakul) and Mint (Apinya Sakuljaroensuk) are left to run their family business, a wig shop, while their parents are on a vacation in China. A customer offers to sell May some human hair of great quality, without knowledge that the hair was illegally salvaged from a female corpse, and that the salvager seemingly committed suicide. May works overtime weaving the new wig, but a female apparition haunts her, presumably the owner of the hair. Mint then returns with three friends to continue partying at home, and May is infuriated as one of the friends carelessly toys with a wig. After the sisters argue, Mint orders her friend to return the wig to its rightful place, but finds him decapitated in the stock room as he fails to return. The ghost now torments the remaining party of four, then killing Mint's remaining two friends. The sisters then seek refuge in the kiln dry room, and the female ghost traps May inside the kiln dryer. Mint attempts to pry open the door in vain, and the machine overheats and explodes. The impact lunges Mint towards the wall, but May is nowhere to be seen. Awaken to the sound of her parents' return, Mint tries to explain last night’s ordeal, but is disturbed by a distraught May, and the fact that everyone ignores her. Mint realizes that she has died from the explosion, being impaled by a glass shard, and that the ghost now inhabits May’s body.
