Music Video
The music video for "Dream" begins as some building blocks (with animals printed on them) rotate to reveal the name "Dizzee Rascal". A children's music box tune plays as the camera zooms in on a woman at a piano, who says "Hello boys and girls, I wonder what Dizzee Rascal is up to today? He's such a rascal," a parody based on Annette Mills and Muffin the Mule. She then starts playing the piano and the song starts. Dizzee appears out of a music box, and starts by wondering "how going to pull this off, man, without singing the dots." He then states that the track he's rapping on is "too sensible for ," a nod to this song's sample of a Captain Sensible song. Then he starts rapping the song. During the video, several incidents happen; two puppet men steal a TV, and the puppet police appear in a police car, and beat the puppet thieves; another puppet spray paints a shop wall; an ostrich dances on a bench; Dizzee walks into a disco; Dizzee raps for a microphone in a recording studio, with a pony puppet as a DJ; two puppets walk on screen pushing prams containing ugly babies. The video ends with Dizzee climbing back into his music box, and the lady says "Good bye, Dizzee, Good bye, Boys and Girls, Good bye..." and the building block logo appears again, and the video ends.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“This music crept by me upon the waters,
Allaying both their fury and my passion
With its sweet air; thence have I followed it,
Or it hath drawn me rather.”
