"Room on the 3rd Floor" is the fourth and final single from British Pop rock band Mcfly's debut studio album of the same name, Room on the 3rd Floor. It is also the title track from the album. It entered the chart at number five in the UK singles chart. The song also appears as a B-Side for the band's next single, "All About You/You've Got a Friend".
[edit] Song information
Written by two of the band members: Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, the track is about the room in which Danny and Tom stayed at London's InterContinental Hotel (Room 363). The song is less upbeat and uptempo than their previous singles. The song was written during their two-month stay at the hotel, which they found a little tedious; they began listening in to arguments in the neighbouring rooms, and wrote about a rather annoying room-service maid, all of which are mentioned on the track.

[edit] Music video
The video depicts the band as small plastic models (based on Tamiya models). During the shoot, the band were painted blue ("Like a smurf"- Danny) and then digitally enhanced to make them look like plastic. McFly can be seen in full colour playing on the packaging box; the McFly Set with Roadie and Fan is a nod to their then upcoming tour.[1]
