Music Video of the Day: We’ve Got It Goin’ On by Backstreet Boys (1995, dir. by Lionel C. Martin)

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Today’s music video day is not just a Backstreet Boys video.  It’s also the very first video that the Backstreet Boys ever made and it’s for their very first single!  Just look at how young everyone used to be.

The main theme of this video seems to be that the Backstreet Boys are terrible boyfriends but it doesn’t matter because they have got it going on!  Their real girlfriends play their video girlfriends in this video and Lou Pearlman, the shady puppet master who never understood that just because we liked his band didn’t mean that we wanted to know about him, is in the video too.  My favorite Backstreet Boy was Brian.

Enjoy!

Music Video Of The Day: Whenever, Wherever by Shakira (2001, dir. by Francis Lawrence)

Hey, everyone!  Erin Nicole, here, filling in for Lisa while she celebrates her birthday!

Today’s music video of the day could be called Shakira Can Do Everything!  She can swim with the fishes!  She can leap on the rocks!  She can outrun the horses!  Most of this video was shot against a green screen but, in the underwater scenes, Shakira actually is swimming.  Francis Lawrence went on to direct the majority of the Hunger Games films.

There’s nothing Shakira can’t do!

Music Video of the Day: I’m A Mess by Avril Lavigne, feat. Yungblud (2022, dir by Patrick Tracy)

Aren’t we all?

(Or, at the very least, we all like to think that we’re a mess.  Being a mess always makes for a more interesting story than being relatively unmessy and satisfied with life.  Just consider, for instance, the current freak-out of Twitter, a site that basically found popularity as a place for people to brag about being a mess.)

I’m a fan of any video that features people who are emotionally lost in London.  While Avril contemplates in the sunlight, Yungblud wanders through the city.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Hold It Against Me by Britney Spears (2011, dir by Jonas Åkerlund)

It’s Britney, bitch!

Actually, this video feels even more appropriate today than it did when it was first released in 2011.  This video was meant to symbolize not only Britney’s career (up to that point) but also the Britney herself had returned to reclaim her superstar status.  Today, of course, it feels more like Britney has returned to reclaim her life.

The beach seems like a good idea right about now.  And yes, that’s the main reason that I’m sharing this video this morning.  Plus, I like Lorde.

Enjoy!
