Video: DCU student runs for election with this great ‘Nothing Compare’s 2 U’ inspired video

Simple, effective and genius.

Simple, effective and genius.

It’s students union election time once again in various college campuses around Ireland as potential candidates gather their brain trust to discuss the most important issue of their campaign strategy.

A promotional video.

We’ve already seen 50 Shades of Domhnaill and Conor McGregor’s lookalike hitting the campaign trail in DCU but they face a new challenger for the award of ‘best campaign video’ from Jake Ryan who is running for Education Officer.

Sinead O’Connor’s superb and emotionally stirring anthem ‘Nothing Compares to You’ is an incredible track in its own right but the iconic video has only added to the songs classic status.

It’s the small details in this parody that make it work so well like Jake’s brief looks at the camera, the opening shot in the park and his dedication to copying Sinead’s every little facial detail.

Take a look.
