This setting may have been provided to drive fear into the heart of the tied up female to whom Fred is singing. This setting would appeal to the audience only on the basis of accentuating the plot of the .

Then, about halfway through the video, stringed lights, which were hanging all across the open area where they were performing, turn on.
