Riley Green‘s new ‘Think As You Drunk’ music has arrived, and it features an array of guests, including his beloved corgi, Carl, and a surprise cameo from Just Jayne’s Rachel Wiggins.
Wiggins appears around the 39-second mark in the video, when an inebriated Green stops talking to Carl and thinks he’s seeing a girl he’d like to start chatting up. We see her from his drunken viewpoint, and she appears as Wiggins, who looks at him quizzically. Hilariously, when we see the real person Green is attempting to flirt with, we realise it’s really a somehwhat elderly lady on a mobility scooter.
Just Jayne confirmed Wiggins’ appearance in the video shortly after it was released, although somewhat bizarrely, their post appears to have since been taken down. Perhaps Green wants there to be some mystery around the guests in the cinematic visuals.
It’s a fantastic video, with the ’Different ‘Round Here’ hitmaker showcasing his drunken dance moves and his talents as an actor. Pretending to be drunk is famously tricky on-screen, without coming off corny or forced, but Green is amusingly convincing.
Elsewhere during the video, Green pays homage to one of his biggest influences, Toby Keith. As the song reaches its conclusion and we hear a snippet of the late Keith singing ‘As Good As I Once Was’ – which is interpolated on ’Think As You Drunk’ – we see a photo of the country legend holding up a red solo cup.
‘Think As You Drunk’ appears on Green’s forthcoming studio album, That’s Just Me, which also features ‘My Way’ and ‘Go Again’ with Hannah McFarland. It drops on September 18th.
