One of my fondest memories of growing up with Lisa Marie is all of the time that we would spend singing Britney Spears’s song whenever we went on a road trip. We would sing at the top of our lungs and, if we got bored with that, we would start singing with exaggerated country accents. There was nothing more fun than singing off-key and off-pitch, though I guess maybe the other people in the car with us would have disagreed.
I think My Prerogative is the only Britney music video that hasn’t been a music video of the day yet. This music video also features Kevin Federline. Remember him? Where did he go? He just disappeared one day. Hope he’s okay.
This song, of course, features vocals from the much-missed Brittany Murphy. The music video was shot on the roof of a parking garage in downtown Los Angeles.
Way back in 2004, both this music video and this song were favorites of mine. That said, even back then, I found myself wondering if I would still be attracted to a guy if he couldn’t stand up to his father. Lindsay and her boyfriend (Drew Fuller) have a lot of chemistry but, whenever his father shows up, the guy meekly leaves. Whenever I watch this video, I want the guy to punch out his father or, at the very least, for Lindsay to kick the old man in the groin. That’s probably not a very realistic expectation on my part, though. I mean, assault and battery? It really would be over!
Reportedly, this video was inspired by one of the worst films to ever win the Oscar for Best Picture, American Beauty. I’m holding on to hope that someday, Linsday will finally get her Oscar. Don’t scoff. Bigger comebacks have happened and, even in this somewhat overwrought video, Lindsay delivered a pretty good performance. Of course, someone’s going to have to take a chance and write a decent role for her. You’re not going to win an Oscar appearing in Netflix Christmas movies. Just ask Kurt Russell. He totally deserved the award for his performance as Santa Claus but he was snubbed not once but twice. Stupid Academy.
When this video came out, some of my friends thought Lindsay and her boyfriend were crazy for fooling around in a deserted trailer but I’m a country girl at heart so I thought it was sweet. Seriously, though, a deserted trailer can be the most romantic place on the planet under the right circumstances. I would caution everyone to just watch out for snakes because this one time, in Arkansas….
I actually forgot, up until about 20 minutes ago, that I needed to do one of these for Sunday so this is going to be rush job. Sorry!
Speaking of forgetting things, do you remember when Lindsay Lohan was a big star and was viewed as being a wholesome role model? This video is from that forgotten era. This song was written for Herbie: Fully Loaded, which starred Lindsay. The video features Lindsay with not only blonde hair but also violating countless safety rules by performing while a race goes on around her. That’s our Lindsay!
This video was directed by Jake Nava, who directed the videos for Lindsay’s Rumors and Over.
