[edit] Music Video
McFly shot the video for their debut single "5 Colours in Her Hair" just After Christmas 2004. Simon Amstell recorded an interview and footage behind the scenes for Channel 4 music show, Popworld.
The video begins by introducing the band members in a comical style, by getting Danny and Dougie's names wrong. It also features the band messing around at various different scenes, but telling the overall main story about a girl with 5 colours in her hair, who was miserable. They eventually drag her into the TV where she joins the band in a club setting where the band are playing to a crowd. They also shoot various well known scenes as a tribute to their main influences including The Beatles and the Beach Boys. The video was shot in front of a green screen.
