It has faces, gestures, emphasis, and a narrative one could easily follow without 'Beat It' on the soundtrack." --- Music video doesn't need the music, you can see what the video is about without it.
"To the line 'theres fire in their eyes, and their words are really clear! So beat it, just beat it'- we've just witnessed WEST SIDE STORY revisited." --- includes an intertextual reference.
