In today’s music video of the day, Britney Spears gets to live every film lover’s dream!

Before I selected this video for today’s music video of the day, it had been a while since I had watched it and I have to admit that I had forgotten that this song was actually written for The Smurfs.  When the video started, I thought Britney and her children were watching a deliberately cheesy send-up of Harry Potter and I was like, “Well, that’s clever!”

But then Britney got transported into the movie and that’s when I saw all of the little blue people around her feet.  Imagine how different this video would have been if Britney had accidentally stepped on the Smurfs and left a trail of blue gore in her wake.  Some in the audience would have cheered but I imagine others would have been traumatized.  Myself, I don’t know how I would have reacted as I find the Smurfs to be kind of creepy but, at the same time, I wouldn’t want Britney to have a Smurf massacre on her conscience.  In the end, we should just be happy that things worked out for the best.

Enjoy!
