prank by the British newspaper The Guardian. This featured lyrics purporting to give support to Conservative opposition party leader David Cameron. The song was featured heavily in the season two CSI: NY episode "Jamalot", in which the character Danny Messer plays the song as a ringtone on his cell phone. The band's American record label, Capitol Records, paid for promotional consideration to place the song in the episode and for the character to talk about Coldplay. Billboard included the track on their unranked "50 Best Song Interpolations of the 21st Century" list. Music video The music video for "Talk" was helmed by director/photographer Anton Corbijn. Filming of the video took place on 5 and 6 November 2005 at Ealing Studios, London, England. The black-and-white clip invokes a B movie science fiction theme, with imagery ranging from a flying saucer to 3D glasses. The video features the band as astronauts landing on an alien planet, where they discover a giant dormant robot and take one of its dials before re-activating it. They play music for the robot and the robot finds a giant-robot-shaped hole in a mountain, where it prepares to sleep again. The band say farewell to the robot and begin to fly away in their spaceship, but as the robot is powering down, it notices one of its dials is missing and becomes enraged, using a tractor beam to grab the spaceship. The robot eats the band and their spaceship and walks away whistling.
