La La La - Naughty Boy

The music video for this song does not include the singer or any song based performances in it, the whole video is about the narrative. It follows the young boy helping others break away from what keeps them unhappy and they follow him to a cave and leave him there. The video has indications of being based of 'The Wizard of Oz' by having the dog represent the lion, the traffic warden is like the scarecrow and the man with the grey face represents the tin man.

As well as referencing 'The Wizard of Oz' the video is also related to a Bolivian legend. The 19th century legend involves a young deaf boy who has fled from his home due to abuse, and he finds a stray dog that keeps him company. He then realises that he has the ability to find out and cure people’s troubles by screaming, which is said to be as loud as an earthquake. He finds a man being stoned and shouted at by others, so he helps him by repairing his heart (the part in the video where he gives him the heart). Both of them then come across a disfigured man who is seen as an outcast. The boy then discovers that he was cursed by El Tio, a demon who was filled with rage. The man somehow tells the boy that anyone who could hear El Tio would fall under his control. Together, they find El Tio in the desert and they leave the boy with him as the boy could not fall under El Tios control as he is deaf, and the boy uses his special ability to overpower El Tio and stop him from cursing others.
