What about using local landmarks as mentioned .. castle , asdas, sainsburys, joxers etc .. etc .. and doing a recording of the shed enders at marston road singing the "I'm a staffordian" bit at the start of the chorus .. Could use footage from things like farmers market, Shakespeare at the castle ..etc .. Use some stills from Sandwich boards, and other publicity already
You could write the vid as a mini adventure .or two ?. with sofa going to all the various places ..bit of a panic on dressed in rambler or hiker gear complete with bobble hat and rucksack.. carrying an OS map or something going through the various places in a bit of a panic to find "something" .. then finishing it at Marston road with the chorus .. A kind of lost and cant find my way to stafford type thing ..or something else ..
What about a spoof on prison break..
Sofa has been banged up for varios crimes of one sort or another and he is talking to his cellmate about the place and his memories come flooding back to good old stafford town and so having gone through what he likes about the place and its various attractions makes an escape bid .but only in his dreams .. . maybe a bit benny hill speeded up or something and comes back to the town .. or maybe thats a bit mental..
Or maybe .. suited and booted type one.. theres a big meeting , sort of planning commitee or somesuch where it appears that something bad is about to happen to the town ( a bypass or something..hang on thats happenin!) ..Whatever tho it's going to get developed beyond recognition .. type stuff.. the planners are adamant its going to go ahead.. lots of this is what we are gooing to do to the town type dialogue and maybe a model on a table showing what its going to be like ..lots of stern looks and "we know whats good for the place" .. then when it looks like the stafford populus cant win the fight .. one voice starts to sing a bit quiet at first getting louder .. cue sofa song , maybe with a kind of music, dancey bit .. where the town residents at the meeting get involved in the chorus and start taking over the meeting .. which closes with the flabergasted planners and big wigs either throwing the paperwork in the air or tearing it up .. knowing that the people of stafford aint going to let this happen ..
Or
then perhaps for the names could try a sort of Bob dylan esque S homesick blues with the cards to flick through the different names somewhere in it ..
and er.. thats my brainstorming bit done .. could be silly but never know there might be somethin in there ?..
At least there no dragons or nuclear fallout or anythin in my ideas..
thats my tuppence worth anyway ..
toodles ..
