[edit] Music video
The animated music video for "Lollipop" was released in November 2007. It is a parody of Little Red Riding Hood, and is animated such a way that it emulates the Life in Cartoon Motion album art. It features the "Lollipop Girl" walking around a colourful land. The music video was originally set to contain a drawn version of Mika singing, but plans were scrapped. It was released by the name of "Lollipop 16:9 Bunny Action" on the internet. It was directed by Mika's sister.
