Although Butch Vig is a man of many talents — Producing albums for Foo Fighters, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth and many more, including a little known gem called Nevermind for Nirvana, plus drumming and co-writining/co-producing as a member of Garbage — he doesn't look to be looking to add "cinematographer" to his resume.

That said, he did this shoot the intense and intimate studio footage that serves as the video for this new Garbage track featuring Shirley Manson in a duet with Brody Dalle.

And along comes Sara Bareilles to remind you that going viral is more important that going to Jared when it comes to modern day marriage proposals. The singer-songwriters pays visits to two couples to help bring their already elaborate proposal ideas to the next level via surprise performances.

Both couples get hitched successfully, of course, but it remains to be seen if this video goes as viral as Justin Baldoni's genre-defining smash.

There's so much magnetism here that the opening visual gambit pales in comparison to all that follows with Usher flexing, stripping, dancing, drumming and nailing an uncanny combination of vintage Al Green (circa shirtless Greatest Hits) and Michael Jackson footwork.

And to guarantee some cross-appeal, there's a parade of beautiful women with just as much a fixation on lips and tongues as you'd expect for a song about, er, kissing.
