Aqua: Cartoon Heroes (2000)

If you know Aqua, it’s probably because of the lawsuit between them and Mattel over Aqua’s song “Barbie Girl”. But if you haven’t seen this video…. There is no part of this it that isn’t like a foam-covered steel bat to the head. Lene’s hair? René’s growling lyrics? Aqua as cartoon heroes that have to stop off at an intergalactic Gas ‘n Sip while Earth’s cities are being destroyed? The band swimming around in “zero-g”? Lene’s sexy sexy zipping up of her futuristic speedsuit? The entire song?

Britney Spears: Toxic (2004)

How do you follow up something as goofily over-the-top as “Cartoon Heroes”? Why, with Britney Spears as an internationaly super-spy/cat-burglar/whatever, that’s how! You’d better thank your lucky stars: I was tempted to hit you with the Spice Girls’ “Spice Up Your Life”.
