The video is sort of plant-related in an amusing way, so I think this counts.
I would have posted this a long time ago -- I've liked the song for months -- but I didn't run into an embeddable copy of it on YouTube until last week.
"A & E" (Accident and Emergency) is the UK equivalent of U.S. "Emergency Room."
Lyrics (as best as I can figure them out):
It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, hey hey
and the pain has started to slip away, hey hey
I'm in a backless dress,
on a pastel ward,
that's[?] shining.
Think I want you still,
but it may be pills at work.
Do ya really wanna know
how I was dancing on the floor?
I was trying to phone you
when I'm crawling out the door.
I'm amazed at you,
the things you say that you don't do --
why don't you ring?
I was feeling lonely,
feeling blue,
feeling like I needed you,
and I've[?] woken up
surrounded by the
A&E.
It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, hey hey
and the pain has started to slip away, hey hey
I'm in a backless dress,
on a pastel ward,
that's[?] shining.
Think I want you still,
but it may be pills at work.
How did I get to
accident-emergency?
All I wanted was you
to take me out.
I was feeling lonely,
feeling blue,
feeling like I needed you;
I hoped you'd call,
I hoped you'd see the [?]
A+E

I love Goldfrapp and I hadn't seen that video before. Thanks.
I have realised that I may be a bigot. If I met a shrub person I would find it hard to treat them with respect if they were a Rhododendron or Cherry Laurel.
The leaf creatures remind me of this OK Go video:

Boo, video blocked in Canada. Checked it out on YouTube. Strange video. Didn't know what A&E stood for either before now.
Anyway, possibly one of my favourite songs off my least favourite Goldfrapp album (which still puts it above most other music).
Huzzah for Goldfrapp! I was enjoying Seventh Tree this morning.
Incidentally, Patrick Wolf has a rather good song called "Accident Emergency". (And that does sound a lot less scary than the "Casualty" they sometimes use.)
@Anonymous: I agree, but I think the illusion was done better in the Goldfrapp video.
I'm not familiar with Goldfrapp (age-related ignorance) but thanks for the intro. The video reminds me of the ents in LOTR.
