Things I would like to Figure Out - Part 2
Back around the change of the millennium I recall seeing a music video on Much Music that featured a male band singing in a club. As the band sings, the perspective changes to that of the tattoos on the lead singer's arms, which come to life. In particular, one of the tattoos is of a surfer, which proceeds to surf around, eventually (I believe) ending up meeting up with another living tattoo on the arm of a lady in the club's audience.
I have no idea who the band or the song was, but I would love to find out, as I recall enjoying the song and, as everyone knows, I'm a self proclaimed "Ink Slut". The only detail that I thought I remember is that the song title or band name had something to do with "California" and would have aired some time in the late 90's or early naughties. The only other person who remembers seeing this music video is my wife, who also can't remember any more details than what I have described. Because it aired on Much Music, it may have been a Canadian band, which, in turn, could be one of the reasons that it has defied repeated attempts at identification through Google.
Anyone out there have any clues that could lead us in the right direction?

Shouts to our friend Kim for finally helping to solver this mystery! The video is "Hang Ten" by Edwin, which actually won a MuchMusic award back in the late 90's. Unfortuantely, the video isn't available on either youtube or much's video vault. However, I dropped a note to Edwin on Myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=79998459 who said that he was hoping to eventually post all of his videos on MySpace. In the meantime, the song is at least available, be sure to have a listen!
