Initial ideas after first hearing the song

For the distorted music in the very first 4-5 seconds of the song we could use a black and white distorted Point of View shot, as if the character in the video has a hang-over.
As the beat immediately begins after this, the idea of someone tap dancing to represent the beat of the song could be used whilst also cutting from someone playing the chords on the piano (possibly just a view of their hands and the keys) to a drum kit being played and then a split scene of all three (tap dancer, drums, and piano) all being played at the same time.
The skeleton could be shown to stand up by its self - in a cartoon flick-book style. Also another idea is maybe to use a character who keeps meeting dead ends in their narrative in the video.
Obscure scales and disproportion is something which appears in Kate Nash's album cover - she looks tiny next to the house. At the section of the song which uses a squeaky door effect, we could possibly create a type of 'Alice in Wonderland' style shot with someone squeezing through a tiny canted door, or have the skeleton at a canted, disproportionate angle in a part of the video.
During part of the song when it slows down (3:21) a shot of a vinyl slowing down after being played could be used to represent the change in pace.
