Oh man, I just watched the Calling All Girls video for the first time in a LONG while... That video is really, really weird. But hilariously weirdly strange.

Seriously, who is that chick in the video, lol
One of the great Queen moments, ETF up with those robots????? Its like a run up to Radio Ga Ga
The video for 'Calling All Girls' (apart from appearance) has little to do with Queen.
It is a homage inspired by the 1971 George Lucas movie,'THX 1138' which was released with the tagline: 'Visit the future where love is the ultimate crime'.
Likewise 'Radio Ga Ga' is a homage to the 1927 Fritz Lang movie 'Metropolis', which was released with the tagline: 'There can be no understanding between the hands and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator'.
Both films are science-fiction/futuristic visions of forbidden love, and to steal a lyric from another 'Queen' movie, can be summed-up thematically as '...love's stronger, remember love conquers all'.
In otherwords, they all ('THX 1138', 'Metropolis', 'Highlander' and the accompanying Queen tracks/videos) thematically state that love is eternal, and that love wins through in the end.
Therefore the video for 'Calling All Girls' is both visually and thematically 'correct' - and a perfect match for the moral of the song.
If you have not yet seen 'THX 1138', why not view for yourself, and witness Lucas' Orwellian vision of the future, before his creation of 'Star Wars' (Another series of movies where '...love conquers all').

It seems like I'm not the only one interested in that girl :-)
Seriously anyone who knows who is she please tell us. I think this is a great mystery to be solved by Queen fans :-) I've tried to search the internet but couldn't find anything.
