Music Video of the Day: Radar by Britney Spears (2009, dir by Dave Meyers)


In today’s music video of the day, Britney Spears visits a polo mansion and decides that she doesn’t really need a new necklace.  Apparently, the original plan for the video was to have Britney and her friends chasing one guy through several different clubs.  However, in what director Dave Meyers described as being an attempt to “class things up,” the video was instead moved to a mansion and featured Britney flirting with polo players.  Personally, while I think this video is well-done, I think they should have stuck with the original plan.  Britney’s appeal has always been that she doesn’t have to be posh.

Happy birthday, Britney!

Apparently, there’s a longer version of this video in which it is made clear that Britney’s character is actually an assassin who is hired to kill her former lover but who, when she sees that he still has the ring that she gave him long ago, cannot bring herself to do it.  Her character is subsequently murdered for failing to complete her assignment.  Agck!  I prefer the version of the video that was actually released.

Music Video of the Day: Arrow to the Knee by Kiki Rockwell, featuring Judith (2023, dir by Liam van den Berk)


Today’s music video of the day comes to us from New Zealand.  Though the story is set in the distant past, the video’s theme of innocent women being abducted by entitled men (some might even call them terrorists) feels incredibly relevant to today.

Music Video of the Day: Not Giving Up On Love by Armin van Buuren, featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor (2010, dir by Sophie Muller)


With the temperature projected to be very, very cold for the next few weeks, I figured now would be the best time to share a bit of sunshine.  I like this video’s sleek, retro feel.  Watching it, I was reminded of the films of Alain Resnais.

Music Video of the Day: Can’t Catch Me Now by Olivia Rodrigo (2023, dir by Leonn Ward)


This video was made to promote The Hunger Games prequel but who cares about that?  Seriously, as much as I liked the first two Hunger Games movies, the third and the fourth one bored me to tears and pretty much left me totally burned out on dystopian YA adaptations.

For me, this song brings back some memories of living and visiting the country.  Of course, I didn’t spend much time in any barns because barns are extremely creepy.  But I did use to enjoy running through the tall grass.  There’s a real sense of freedom when you’re running and the world seems to stretch on forever, without a building, road, or street sign standing in your way.  This video does a good job of capturing that feeling.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: When We Were Young (The Logical Song) by David Guetta and Kim Petras (2023, dir by Hannah Lux Davis)


Needless to say, there is nothing that will make you feel older than realizing that you’re entire house has been flood and you didn’t even notice because you were too busy singing.

I am definitely not feeling young right now, though I guess I still am.  Seriously, I’ve spent most of November in a daze.  Maybe this song will help me wake up!

Enjoy!
