Let it all load before you play for the optimum viewing experience.


Medium-res version available via download on my own site or Megaupload and lower-res version downloadable here; right-click and save to download.

Watch it on YouTube or imeem.



The downloadable version is much more watchable than the versions on YouTube and imeem, so I recommend downloading it and watching it that way - and then please review/give con-crit - it is very, very appreciated!

Just a reminder - I have two videos up for auction in Sweet Charity; I'll create anything using clips from Heroes, Supernatural, Harry Potter, Doctor Who/Torchwood, Star Wars, Friends and/or Chuck (or crossovers of the above). It's for a good cause, and there are some amazing writers, artists, vidders, crafters and creators of miscellaneous things up for sale, so check it out!

Some meta about the song: Going Underground was one of the last singles released by The Jam, the punk/mod band fronted by Paul Weller. It was recorded in 1979 and was released in the UK in early March, 1980. Yes, of course Dean's personal preference is for classic rock, but there's a number of punk songs from the late 70s and early 80s that "fit" him in various different ways, and if I wanted to fully backstory this, Mary would have a friend who's living in the UK in 1979 and beyond, who sends cassette tapes from Camden for Mary and Paddington Bear stuffies for Dean. And The Jam did open for Blue Öyster Cult in 1978, so it's close enough to Dean's musical tastes that hopefully, he wouldn't dislike it.

Have I told you lately how much i adore your vids??? This one of course was brilliant. Everytime I watch one of your vids it just makes me love the show that much more. And it just baffles my mind as to why this show isn't more popular than it is. Thank you for creating and sharing :D

Omg thank you so much!
And really? Every time I make one of the vids it makes me love the show that much more because it's just.... It's show and it's so well done and it should be moved to CBS or something so that more people can love it!

Believe me I am with you on thinking that it's really one of the most well done shows out there. And I guess that it would do better on one of the major networks I don't know that I would want it moved from the CW since they are the ones who took the chance with it and put it on the air. Not to mention that I see the other networks as being more rigid than the CW so I think the frequency in which Dean says the word "bitch" would decrease significantly. I just want people to realize that there other networks out there who broadcast quality television other than the regurgitated hospital and law/cop dramas.

I really liked this vid! There were several times the clip lined up really well with the strong drum beat that made me really happy, although there were too many too name. ♥
