I think that they need to go in a drastically different direction music wise.
Also, some shot of a toteboard with ballon payouts might not be a bad thing to include as well.
Oh I totally agree with all of this and yeah "fine" is not a good thing.

The imagery that the song itself evokes is not the way to go.

The whole thing needs to be scrapped and the powers that be need to be exposed to, acknowledge and understand things that the rest of the world is doing to promote the game in general.
