As many of you will know, our eldest daughter Nexi is studying at Art & Design College. Her most recent assignment has been in film.For her project, Nexi chose to film her younger sister Necky Becky, (pictured above), singing with her boyfriend Neko's band, The Stiffnex.
I expected extreme sibling storms, squalls and shrieks - but no! (Although you may dispute the latter when you watch the film). Nexi and Necky Becky worked together splendidly as a team, together with Neko on guitar, Sgruff on bass and Nukkle on drums.
So here we have it - Nexi's debut pop video, 'Be Who You Wanna Be!' with Necky Becky and The Stiffnex!
I'm a proud dad! But I'm going to hide in the kitchen until it's over ...

Kat
Thank you Poetikat! I'll tell Nexi and Necky Becky and the band!
(I'm going to have to look up who Toni Basil is ...)
Very clever, Nexi! Stick that neck out!!
Thank you Willow - I will pass your message to Nexi!
That is a wonderful piece of music to remind us all to go after what we desire. Loved it! More please.
Hi Raph,
I like the beat but I wonder if you have a second pair of ear defenders??!!! Don't tell you know who!
Barbara - thank you! Necky Becky and Nexi will be pleased. More?! I suppose it will not be any noisier than the usual muffled booming of The Stiffnex practising in the cellar ...
I have got a second pair of ear defenders Derrick - I'm wearing them! One set is not enough ...
You know who would be well amused!
What a creative post about your daughter. Your daughter has the right idea, Go for what you want! I liked the beat of the song.
Thank you Choices! Glad you like the song. Here in Giraffe World our motto is 'Stick your neck out for your dreams!'
Good beat (the beginning reminded me just a tad of "Thriller"), good words, great production!
OK, this is about your poem in the post before, as there were too many comments to scroll through! So I've cheated! I thought it was truly beautiful, and think you should stick your neck out and write more of them...
Thank you Gaston Studio! Glad you liked it. (No-one's said 'good voice' yet - hope Necky Becky doesn't read these comments!!)
Thank you Jinksy! I am much encouraged - and will stick my neck out!
Thank you Weaver! I just hope the foundations to the house survive ...
Nexi has good diction which I think is most important. Why write lyrics if they can't be heard. Great beat too. Well done everyone.
Thank you Heather! I agree - I get frustrated when I can't understand the lyrics of songs. Nexi and Necky Becky both like to be heard and understood!
Sgruff is amazing. That bass is a killer. Good stuff. Many thanks. I hope the head-banging did not wreck any necks :-).
Greetings from London.
Thanks Cuban in London - I will tell Sgruff, he takes his music very seriously and will be pleased.
The head-banging was all very neck-friendly. (BTW I do a mean air guitar!)
Lovely video. I feel giraffy just watching.
So wonderful to have talented children,isn't it??? Congratulations!
wow! I'd say dad has some very talented daughters and must be very proud! really enjoyed the video!
Awesomely wonderful. really love this art work! Great Music!
Linda
Very "Flashy" if you will pardon the pun! Great work from a creative family.
Glad you like it, Pink Cowboy - thank you! It's great to feel giraffy!
Thank you Pamela! Wonderful as long as you've got two pairs of ear defenders and a teacosy to keep them on!
Glad you enjoyed the video Jeane - thank you!
Thank you Linda! I'm still enjoying watching the dancing parrot video you had on your blog!
Thank you Acornmoon - Nexi's learning all sorts of tekky stuff at college - all a bit beyond me!
Hi Raiph,
Thanks for saying hello.
My children loved the film.
Wish I could be at art college!
That's a great video! Amazing illustrations.
Hi Kayla coo - I'm glad your children loved the film! Nexi loves art college and Necky Becky wants to be a gardener.
Thank you Bindu! Nexi will be pleased.
Great video and the song grows on a second listen (as I am on the cusp of being too old to be an indie rock chick). Fab and I hope they do very well. Good luck with the assignment!
Thank you Madame DeFarge! I'm glad the song grew on you - maybe you'll be singing along to it on your ipod at work?
Oh how FUN!
Your world is what
