Music Video of the Day: Bag It Up by Geri Halliwell (2000, Dir. by Dawn Shadforth)

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Today’s music video of the day is heaven in a box!

Geri Halliwell’s boyfriend doesn’t appreciate her so she drugs him and then brainwashes him.  Whatever works!  Her boyfriend is played by Aiden Turner, who also played Aiden Devane on All My Children.  Aiden left the show in 2009 and it was canceled two years later.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Back in the day, Lisa and I would annoy the rest of our family by singing this song at the top of our lungs.  The only part that we really knew was the part about bagging it up.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Underneath Your Clothes by Shakira (2002, Dir. by Herb Ritts)

Back in 2002, I thought there was nothing cooler than Shakira replying to a question about crossing over to English-language music in Spanish.  I still think it’s pretty cool.  Shakira was one of the singers that Lisa and I always used to sing along with whenever we went on a road trip.  We used to drive everyone crazy.

This was the last music video to be directed by the legendary photographer, Herb Ritts.  He died of Pneumonia on December 2nd, 2002.

This song and video were both banned in Argentina because Shakira’s boyfriend (who appears as himself) was the son of a former president of Argentina who was not popular at the time.

Enjoy!
