Regina Spektor's "Fidelity" video was obviously inspired by Jackson's Knowledge Argument.
Posted by Matt Weiner at January 17, 2007 08:04 PMSpeaking of such type assertions, Paul Reubens' "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" was obviously inspired by the silent short screened in the middle of Agnès Varda's "Cléo de 5 à 7".

Posted by: The Modesto Kid at January 18, 2007 12:47 PMIt could be convergent evolution. Or more likely, Spektor and Jackson were both inspired by the Wizard of Oz (the movie).
I'm not that into the song, but it's definitely better than I would have expected from Arlen Spektor's kid.
