Like many Mariners supporters, Macklemore is a huge fan of Griffey - he recounts some of the star's on-field heroics on the 2010 track "My Oh My." Getting Griffey in the video was the idea of director Jason Koenig, who is also a big fan.Cause your momma's the toughest person I knowĪnd watch you show the world how to do it on your own In the fish scene, he is posed like his Upper Deck baseball card and styled the same way, complete with Mariners hat from the era and gold chain. In both shots, Griffey is rocking the 1989 look from his rookie year. This scene appears at the 1:43 mark Griffey shows up again at 4:02 riding a two-wheeler. What a lot of tourists don't understand, however, is that at the fish market, they will be happy to accommodate camera crews, but if you want the fish to fly, you have to buy one - they have better things to do than throw fish for onlookers all day). Along with shots of the Space Needle, this makes the job of compiling scenics for Seattle a no-brainer. (Like at the beginning of a Mariners game - "we're here in Seattle." Every city has certain landmarks that identify it visually, but few have anything as kinetic and eye-catching as the flying fish. Pike Place Market is the shopping hub of Seattle, where the fishmongers will sometimes throw a fish - a bit that goes over well with tourists and for years has been a go-to shot for producers looking to set the Seattle scene in myriad video productions. "The next thing I know I'm flying out to Seattle and sitting in a circle with them in a studio working on the chorus and then cameo for the video."īaseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., who played for the Seattle Mariners and is beloved in the city, makes an appearance in the video, catching a fish to punctuate the line, "stop by Pike Place, throw a fish to a player." "He remembered me and I guess we'd exchanged contacts and he and Ryan thought I'd be a good fit for the track," Nally said. In addition, Macklemore and Lewis' trumpet player and collaborator, Josh "Budo" Karp, had played shows alongside Foxy Shazam during the 2012 Warped Tour. "From what I understand Ryan Lewis is a pretty big fan of Foxy Shazam," he explained to MTV News. When Eric Nally got an out-of-the-blue call from Macklemore and Lewis to work on the song, it was perfect timing as the vocalist had just started a hiatus from working with Foxy Shazam. Nally also collaborated with Meat Loaf on his Hang Cool Teddy Bear album, co-penning the tracks " Love is Not Real / Next Time You Stab Me in the Back" and " California Isn't Big Enough." So who is singer Eric Nally, the guy that is crooning the hook? The vocalist was the frontman for the Ohio rock band Foxy Shazam, which formed in 2004 and opened for mainstream acts like The Strokes, Panic! At the Disco, Hole and The Darkness.
