From that moment on, I can think of nothing else. I follow the trail of those unforgettable legs until I finally discover the devastating truth: she is married to a lawyer.And that's where things take a slight turn for the worse.I completely destroy the office.My boss has officially had enough and fires me.Then come the lawsuits, the financial ruin and the inevitable collapse of everything.You know… typical office drama. 💥📦⚖️In the first two images and the final image, you can also spot Filippo Graziani, the author of the song.🎭 Cast – in order of appearance• Filippo Graziani – Coworker #1 - Author• Rick – Annoyed Manager• Alexis – Angry Customer #1• Fausto – Angry Customer #2• Ivan – Coworker #2• Charlie – Coworker #3• Mason – Coworker #4• Ripley – Coworker #5• Alberto – Coworker #6• Fabio – Angry Customer #3• Max – Angry Customer #4• Roberto – Great LawyerAnd, of course, the usual evil little monkey Anselmina is hiding somewhere inside the video. 🐒😈Can you find her?Difficulty: 6/10Difficulty for Ripley: 3/10 🤷♂️🍍 Pineapple: I forgot to put it in! 😂👩 Agostina: I forgot to put her in too! 😂😂

They come up with an incredibly elaborate plan… and, as usual, something goes wrong.Time for Plan B — run for it on the first vehicle available… but the Nostromo was a little too ambitious! 🚀😜And the strict captain who spent the whole time giving orders turns out to be very different from what we expected.I also have to apologize to my friends, the protagonists, (specially Alberto and Fabio) because I didn’t manage to give them as much screen time as I wanted. I had some serious image problems because ChatGPT finally caught on to my super-bugged account. 😂 🚀 👽 🎸 💥You’ll find the protagonists in the comments section! And, of course, the usual Anselmina the monkey is hiding somewhere in the video. 🐒🧠 Difficulty level for normal people: 8/10🧠 Difficulty level for Ripley: 6.5/10No pineapples involved 🍍

I tried to recreate that effect by playing it without using Reverse.🧠 Behind the Thumbnail 🧠For the thumbnail, I’m an exhausted radio host, looking like I’ve spent far too many hours trying to decode strange signals. Basically, a DJ at the absolute end of his shift: headphones on, brain overheating, eyes screaming, “I’ve had enough frequencies for one lifetime.” 📻😵💫🧠⚡🎥 🎬 Behind the Minimovie 🎬 🎥The story behind the song comes from the bizarre 1986 attack on journalist Dan Rather, whose attacker repeatedly asked him, “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” The man, William Tager, believed that mysterious frequencies were being transmitted into his head.In my little cinematic version, I’m the attacker—and also the radio host—going after the source of that mysterious frequency, facing a villain in a boar-fur coat, escorted by two ruthless bodyguards. A strange little descent into frequencies, paranoia and pure R.E.M. madness. 📡🕵️♂️🐗💥Thanks as always to the usual crew for being part of this crazy little production! ❤️,🤹🏻♂️ Cast, in order of appereance:• Fabio • Roberto• Fausto• Rick • Ivan• Ripley • Max• Alberto • Mason• Charlie • AlexisAnd yes… the usual monkey, Anselma, is hidden somewhere in the video. 🐒👀Difficulty level (normal people): 3.5/10Difficulty level for Ripley: 0.5/10 #REM #WhatsTheFrequencyKenneth #FenderTelecaster #GuitarCover #AlternativeRock

BOSSA NOSTRA - Gaia - T.Ripley feat. Val Smiths - Full Voice & Guitar Cover Re Arranged Val Smiths Guitar 2026-07-23 | A fresh take on "Bossa Nostra" by Gaia! 🎸This cover blends the warm sound of a classical guitar with the bright tone of a Squier Sonic Stratocaster, featuring the amazing T. Ripley on vocals 🎤.A little behind the scenes: after months of asking Ripley if we could record a song together, she finally found the perfect one. I loved her choice because it gave me the chance to create my own arrangement, inspired by the bossa nova and similar rhythms I've enjoyed playing for years 🌴A special shout-out to Ripley for taking on the challenge of singing such a beautiful and intricate melody in Italian, a language that isn't her native one. She did a wonderful job! And yes... I actually asked her to keep a little bit of her Spanish accent—it gives the performance a unique charm 🎶You can also find Ripley's version of this video on her channel 🎧, with her own thumbnail and some fun cartoon-style images of us.
