Just Dooo It!! And in the case of this new anti-video from Miley Cyrus, the It in question is smoking weed and covering yourself in various foodstuffs.
Care to get a peek at what Zoe Kravitz and Miley Cyrus are into when they're behind a closed motel door? Check out this this gleefully grimey video for Kravitz's Lolawolf music collective, which plays around the vibe of a vintage surveillance cam sex-tape (minus the sex, but plus the drugs).
It's likely impossible for Pharrell Williams and Miley Cyrus to make a video that's not sexy on some level — we're talking about the people responsible for "Blurred Lines" and "We Can't Stop," respectively — but "Come Get It Bae" is more like a high-energy version of John Legend's "You And I" video, celebrating all the many "flavors" of women with a perfect edit and a even a little handheld Bolex
Maybe Miley Cyrus felt like she needed to follow-up last night's NBC concert special with something a bit more risque. Well, mission accomplished. Any parent who felt relieved by the more wholesome/fun prime time Miley, will likely be running for cover from this short film she made with Flaming Lips mad genius Wayne Coyne. We're talking serious NSFW: Drugs, nudity, cursing and all sorts of other bad stuff. There's a loose narrative involving Miley's missing brain, Moby and boobs, but it's best to let Wayne himself explain [via Rolling Stone]:
"The video story is something like this: Moby is an evil, power-hungry cult leader. He wants the world's most valuable (according to our story) psychedelic supernatural possession... John F. Kennedy's brain....the brain contains the original formula for the drug LSD!!!
Miley Cyrus has the magic brain!!! And Moby enlists a nympho Manson girl-type blonde superfreak to go steel the brain from Cyrus.
She steals the brain from Cyrus while Cyrus is still in bed in a drug-induced coma. Cyrus finally wakes up and is mega-pissed that her BRAIN has been stolen. She enlists a burned-faced Santa and a lesbian Bigfoot ( that are hovering in a nearby spaceship) to hunt down the blond superfreak that stole her brain. They have a relentless pursuit, all the while Cyrus laments the loss of her magic brain and Moby gains powerful rainbows from hell. In the end, the blond superfreak kills Santa and Bigfoot and a baby mole ends up with the brain…"
Oh yeah. And the Flaming Lips are disguised as rainbows, mushrooms and flowers watching from the sky room where a giant diamond explosion happens."
And the Wrecking Ball may have begun to swing in the other direction as we discover that a video of Miley Cyrus masturbating beneath the sheets and in the tub isn't enough to shock anymore.
Despite the all-nude preview pics of Miley in nothing but silver bodypaint, "Young And Free" is too restrained to warrant an Alien Sex Fiend headline (and don't get me started on any 2001 references). Miley is indeed sleek and sexy as an alien who must remain behind glass even as sparks fly between her and her astronaut saviour, Future.
Miley Cyrus in a remake of Boxing Helena? Not quite, but she is the surprise in this airport teaser for the 2013 MTV EMA Awards which also stars show host RedFoo and his package.
The MTV EMAs will air live in Europe on Sunday, November 10 with a US airing on MTV at 7pm ET that same day.
And with this John Boehner Made It Government Shutdown — or slimdown, as Fox calls it — version that Saturday Night Live premiere during Miley's episode, I believe we have finally reached the illogical end of all "We Can't Stop" video parodies. We get the Reagan head to sing the "it's our party" bit, a French Fry White House, Taran Killam as Boehner and Miley as Michele Bachmann.
Violating dress code is the least of all infractions Miley Cyrus commits in this high school clip for her producer Mike WILL Made It with rappers Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa.
Screw your parodies of Miley Cyrus "Wrecking Ball" — except for the one with Nicholas Cage, which was genius.
A much harder tack with the video would be to make it into something beautiful on a completely different level, which is what Matt Caron has done with this unofficial and unsolicited datamosh version.
PS: If Miley can have this sort of a comeback, then couldn't datamoshing?
Miley Cyrus "Wrecking Ball" is already halfway to the goal of 150 million views — at which point she will unveil the director's cut, which may or may not be code for "with nipples".
Whatever it is, I doubt it can top the genius of the new Nicolas Cage Edition of the video which is better seen than described.
PS: This could lead to a Face Off 2 idea in Hollywood.
Miley Cyrus won't stop, not when she's on a roll that's taken her from the "former Hannah Montana" to undoubtedly the biggest pop star in the world in just a few months.
New video "Wrecking Ball" shattered the VEVO single day viewing record, previously set at 12.3 million views by OneDirection's "Best Song Ever" — a number which Miley and her big ball smashed in approximately 12 hours.
It's currently at 16 million views, in less than 24 hours.
