IN DEPTH: Katy Perry "California Gurls" (part two)

It's 2010 and people still clearly wish they all could be "California Girls", or "Gurls" as in the title of Katy Perry's summertime smash "California Gurl". With the track breaking records at Top 40 radio and selling as briskly as cold drinks on a 100° summer day, it's only right we take another look at the music video, which is also note perfect for the season...

Video Static will be going In Depth on the "California Gurls" the rest of the week with behind-the-scenes pictures, factoids from the shoots and lots of quotage from Motion Theory director Mathew Cullen.

WATCH IT: Cee-Lo Green "No One's Gonna Love You" (Skinny, dir.)

Cee-Lo Green's electronic re-imagining of the gorgeous Band Of Horses cut "No One's Gonna Love You" gets matched with a road-trip music video that captures both the highs and lows of the Red Hot American Summertime Dream. A young attractive couple give the middle finger to responsibility/capitalism, and embrace freedom on a sex-fueled (NSFW) jaunt across the country. Unfortunately, they soon realize that cash indeed rules everything around you  and things take a turn toward ugly darkness. Perhaps the title twist is: No one's gonna love you, but everyone's gonna use you.  --> watch "No One's Gonna Love You"
