Reccer's Comments: Remember that glorious time when Sherlock wasn’t only the cleverest series you’d ever seen but also the coolest, sexiest and craftiest brimming with good cases and wonderful dialogue and lots of angst and just kept you locked to the screen, occasionally sniggering or simply howling with laughter.

That spirit is captured perfectly in this fun vid that proves daasgrrl is not only a wonderful author and a great designer of magazine covers but also a glorious vidder. Just look how cleverly she uses the material to illustrate a few catch phrases of the song (okay, it's almost the whole song but then she does such a great job and Bowie's texts are often quite short):

Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you're a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favourite things

Luck just kissed you hello
When you're a boy

They'll never clone ya

Learn to drive and everything

That’s just, so immensely cleverly done. Every time I watch this vid I feel this huge smile grow on my face. Because, god, yes, Sherlock and John are BFF’s and, even though there were some awkward times like being strapped in a coat lined with Semtex or having to deal with CIA thugs, together they had such FUN.
