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!

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: Illegal by Shakira feat. Santana (2006, dir by Jaume De Laiguana)


And this, my dears, is why you don’t date a boxer.  They always end up breaking your heart just as surely as they’ll break the jaws of the opponents.  Of course, it’s even worse if you’re dating a boxer who is always losing his fights.  For one thing, you can’t go out with him in public because his face is constantly going to be a puffy mess and number two, you don’t ever get invited to kiss him in the ring after his victory.

Though, I have to say, my favorite part of any boxing movie is always seeing what people are wearing to the big fight.  Like I remember watching The Fighter and thinking to myself, “She could probably do better than Mickey Ward but Amy Adams’s fight clothes are totally to die for.”

Anyway, in this video, a boxer dates Shakira but he cheats on her with another woman.  And then he invites the other woman to come watch him box, which just makes no sense to me.  I mean, even if Shakira hadn’t shown up, did he really think it wouldn’t get back to her that he had invited another woman to celebrate with him in the ring?  What was he thinking?

Last night, all of the Bowman sisters were gathered together and we may or may not have spent hours singing along to Hips Don’t Lie.  So, naturally, today’s music video of the day had to come from Shakira.

Enjoy!
