2. Intertextuality
S Within Andrew Goodwin‟s theory of music video‟s, we see
his belief of intertextuality of other media outlets. This
means to incorporate two bits of media text together and
„merge‟ them.
3. King Kong
S A piece of media intertextuality within the lyrics of „Hall of
Fame‟ is displayed when they sing, “you can be the King
Kong banging on your chest”.
S This highlights the merging together of a popular film and
the songs lyrics.
4. The American dream
S The „Hall of fame‟ lyrics can be seen to promote the
motive of striving to achieve, much like the American
dream, which is the belief that anyone can go from „rags
to riches‟ and become someone/something great. This
can be seen in the lyrics; “you can be the greatest, you
can be the best”, which displays that you can be anything
you want if you try your best.
