She Doesn't Dance Any Better Here.
I just watched this video for Gimme More, the first single off Britney Spears' new CD.
I don't know, maybe I just don't get the point of this. You've got a blonde Brit, in what looks to be a very cheesy wig from the Carol Channing collection, standing at the bar looking...confused? Interested? Constipated? I don't know, but she's looking at brunette Brit, clad in black leather and fishnets, with a stick-on tattoo from one of those machines at the supermarket, spinning round and round and round and round what I think must be a stripper pole on a very cheaply done prop stage. Intercut with this are shots of backup dancers (again outdancing Brit), her friends at the bar, and a guy who looks suspiciously like Kevin Federline.
Watch for when the lyrics say, "I see you..." and blonde Brit flips around and looks! Woah!
It was made pretty clear that this was "Britney's concept and her vision."
Consider the lyrics of the song:
Every time they turn the lights down Just wanna go that extra mile for you You got public display of affection Feel's like no one else in the room (but you) We can get down like there's no one around We'll keep on rockin' (We'll keep on rockin') We'll keep on rockin' (Keep on rockin') Cameras are flashing while we're dirty dancing They keep watchin' (They keep watchin') Keep watchin' Feels like the crowd is saying Gimme gimme more... A center of attention (Can you feel that?) Even when they're up against the wall You got me in a crazy position (Yeah) If you're on a mission (Uh-uh) You got my permission (Oh)...And on and on like that. I'd post the whole thing but it just gets redundant after a while. So I don't get it. The song is about dirty dancing, flirting, and sex. (basically) Brit is watching herself, or possibly her alter ego, or something. And while she's watching this song about sex and stuff is playing. So does Brit want to have sex with herself? She wants to dirty dance with herself? She has a split personality? She has an evil twin! That's it, Brit has an evil twin sister, and she's the one who's been dropping babies and shaving her head and forgetting her underwear. It's all so clear to me now. I'm glad we could clear this up. Is it just me, or does this whole thing look like it was shot in somebody's garage? (thanks Dlisted!)
