Today’s music video of the day was directed by Zalman King, who would have turned 82 years old today. King started his career as an actor and appeared in some fairly strange films in the 70s but, in the 80s, he reinvented himself as cinema’s number one purveyor of extremely pretentious yet oddly sincere erotica.
This video came out a year before King’s death in 2012 and everything about it — from the visual style to the star of the show — is easily identifiable as having been done in King’s signature style.
Today’s music video of the day is the latest from Upsahl. Monica Lewinsky is not so much about Monice as its about wanting to be famous like Monica …. and Lindsay …. and Britney. It’s all about wanting to make history. Who doesn’t want to do that? With this video Upshal and her director create a viral video about wanting to star in a viral video.
Enjoy!

Last night, a group of friends and I watched the original 1983 film, Valley Girl. Someone mentioned this song while we were watching so here’s the closest that it ever got to having an official music video!
