We have an article about movies with poi/staff in it...what about clips to songs?
I know one. I did know two but I've forgotten the second one.
Over The Hills & Far Away by Nightwish has breathing, eating and spinning (not sure if it's staff or poi).
So does anyone know any song clips with firetwirling in them?
Cheers,

I don't know anyway, but I would like to see a poi/staff iPod video! I'm sure it's the sort of thing Apple would like!

Boys of Summer by DJ Sammy has Fire poi in it.
But then again its not his song, its a cover.
He should write his own goddamn songs.
All you ever see on mainstream music nowadays is covers

The song was twenty years... there were also those wicked finger wick glove thingies... soughta like fans, but each wick was on the end of a wire on each finger 0.o twas quite cool looking...

Knoxious is indeed a member of this board and has been known to run double staff workshops, if I remember rightly

you mean [Old link] one?
I can't stand dancing in the moonlight, I'm not a violent person but it just makes me want to punch the singer in the nuts, almost as much as I wanted to the guy who was playing celine dion songs on the pan pipes in town on saturday!!

Now enlighten me, Polythene, is a *member of the board* some sort of official thing ... the sort of board that would have a chairman? Or does being a *member of this board* mean someone posts on HoP?
BTW how is the singles/doubles staff going

someone who posts on HoP- i.e. a member of this online message board... and my staff skills, like my poi skills, are going absolutely nowhere till my exams are over

I remember the second one now.
It's that stupid new song by Gwen Stefani - 'Hollaback girl' has cheerleaders with poi like flag things.

I believe the correct term is that DJ Sammy "Fellates" Monkeys.
As does Michael Jackson and Eminem

has a song 'catch my disease' with a subliminal moment of what may very possibly be poi.. plus a fair bit of hoop and some definite contact moves with a basketball.
Anway it's a nice song and Ben Lee's a nice chap so it's worth a peep in any case....
