WATCH IT: LMFAO "Sexy And I Know It" (Mickey Finnegan, dir.)

Setting a video at Muscle Beach for a song with the chorus "Girl, look at that body" makes total sense. Letting LMFAO strip down to a pair of Speedos and shake his groove thing like a divinng rod in search of a beat is a stroke of unexpected insanity/genius. The action culminates in an homage to the "Beat It" dance/knife fight, except Red Foo and his adversary don't use knives. Careful: You might poke an eye out. --> watch "Sexy And I Know It"

QUICK CLIP: KillMatriarch "Prodigal Daughter" (Robby Starbuck, dir.)

Usually when a couple releases a video online it's, well, you know. In this case it's actually a music video, since it involves director Robby Starbuck and his wife Matrirch, frontwoman for the gothrock duo KillMatriarch. Matriarch vamps it up in front of a projection screen and various still-lifes that foretell a revolting against the machine. --> watch "Prodigal Daughter" 

WATCH IT: Das Racist "Michael Jackson" (Weird Days, dir.)

Michael Jackson. One million dollars. You feel me? Holler. Das Racist and directing team Weird Days take the piss out of some Michael Jacskon iconography and anything else that strikes their fancy, be it a Bollywood Mikado, Beavis/Butthead, a recreation of the Farley/Swayze Chippendale Dance-off and lots more. Random? Yep. Awesome? Holler. --> watch "Michael Jackson"
