| Just another Hooker Wednesday |
He saves them from the soul-crushing boredom that's inevitable when your job is to lay draped over a car sipping flourescent cocktails when you're not wearing awesome heels and sawing things that throw awesome sparks [note: this is my dream job]. All it takes is blowing the place up during a private concert. So he's like the Pied Piper of sexy lady mechanics?
Now before you go saying crazy things like "it's dangerous to do mechanical work in those outfits, not to mention impossible to keep them clean," know that director Alex Herron is way ahead of you. You see, they have an onsite bubble bath. In between draping and sipping and sawing, they can wash the day's grime away before it even has a chance to get into their pores. I imagine the bubble bath also functions as a burn tank, too, because those sparks are really going everywhere.
The best (un?)intentionally funny frame comes at 3:08, where Taio throws his hands in the air--"air" being "conveniently boob-level of the girl who's conveniently walking by." Just FYI, ladies, that's about the height he'll be throwing his hands, so you should use caution if you don't want to "accidentally" get in their way.
Now, I loooove this song. But it always gets me down when the video for a dance-pop song doesn't match the frenzy of the song itself. Having all those shots of girls draped over everything just sucks the kinetic energy right out. Stop just sitting around ladies, he came to dance dance dance dance! And only ONE explosion? This is the only time in my life I'll ever say "more stuff blowing up!" but yeah, couldn't they have Michael-Bay-ed the crap out of this? It's a song about dynamite:
