WATCH IT: Nelly "Move Your Body" (Marc Klasfeld, dir.)

"Move Your Body" imagines Nelly as the kingpin of an underground Fight Club where women face off against one another in roughhouse dance battles. Betting is involved. Hip-hop celebs — T-Pain, Akon, T.I. — are in attendance. And every now and then, director Marc Klasfeld takes us inside the pulsating bundles of nerves at the core of the battlers. --> watch "Move Your Body"

WATCH IT: Dada Life "Unleash The F**king Dada" (Max Knight, dir.)

Now that the Kraken has been released, it's time to "Unleash The F**king Dada," the fantiastically meaningless, yet undeniable songtitle of this Dada Life electro-dance tune. The video plays true to the same dicktease nature of that title, highlighting a hook-up that seems bound to result in oral sex, but merely results in a dude getting bound and castrated. Doh. --> watch "Unleash The F**king Dada"

WATCH IT: Deftones "You've Seen The Butcher" (Jodeb, dir.)

There's a certain perverse charm of having a heavy band like Deftones in a usually quiet library. It's not as perverse as a hot librarian fetish, or dousing a troupe of dancing lingerie girls with blood, but not to fear: This rather epic video covers all those bases with a majesty that makes it all seem way less random than it might sound. --> watch "You've Seen The Butcher"

WATCH IT: Deftones "Sextape" (ZFCL, dir.)

Not many people would watch a sextape for the cinematography, but most don't take place underwater (or are nearly this chaste). Directors ZFCL take this Deftones song about the motion of the ocean (literally) exactly where it should be: Underwater, with a bevy of rainbow effects that actually aren't effects at all, but real rainbows created and photographed by the crew using custom lenses. And, if you're still on the fence: Yes, there are also lesbians underwater. --> watch "Sextape"
