maybe you should have slept on these
ideas before you turn them into musical
mishaps coming straight for vanilla I
see
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for another
top 10 what were they thinking music
videos for this list we’re focusing on
music videos like make no sense make it
hard to relate to the content of the
song or are just plain bizarre for the
record we’re not necessarily saying that
these songs themselves are bad
only that the content of their
accompanying music video is make it
difficult for us to understand the
song’s concept message or story no
comedian or parody videos here though as
these are usually intentionally bad and
for comedic purposes if you don’t see a
video you think should be on this list
be sure to check out our first list of
the top 10 what were they thinking music
videos number 10 gimme more Britney
Spears
[Music]
if you need to watch a video where
absolutely nothing happens for four
minutes then congratulations you found
it the video begins with a more innocent
looking Britney Spears sitting down at
the bar with her friends before noticing
her bad girl alter-ego begin to pole
dance well if you can call that pole
dancing
bad Britney kind of bounces around for
the entire video but there aren’t any
real pole dancing maneuvers there
perhaps the people behind it thought the
location itself would be edgy enough but
all we could think while watching the
video was give me more you’re gonna have
to remove me
[Music]
number 9 get down before 4 while this
song sounded benign to most people when
it was released the lyrics are clearly
talking about oral sex so it was
obviously a bad idea to have the
accompanying music video centered on a
child in it we follow a young boy who
was seemingly fulfilling his fantasies
while looking into a viewmaster he finds
in the trash
[Music]
in his dream he attracts older women
older is in 20 by flexing his muscles on
the beach dunking a basketball and
showing off money much to the chagrin of
the b44 crew but nobody wants to hear
lyrics about why didn’t they just cast
an older person or you know make a video
that makes sense
[Music]
number eight this I promise you and sink
visions what were they thinking with
this one this ballads music video sees
the boy standing around in Redwood
National and state parks
donning turtlenecks that have never
really been considered stylish
despite being found everywhere in the
early 2000s on top of that the members
of NSYNC are surrounded by literal
thought bubbles which display the
stereotypical slow-motion action shots
of actors awkwardly pretending to be in
love
[Music]
after a few too many minutes of this the
scene shifts to the band eating outside
during which we witness a boyfriend
finally getting to the restaurant to see
his girlfriend the video was so baffling
that MADtv parried it soon after its
release
shut up dancing for everyone on the
manholes number seven I love you
vanilla ice chi the song itself may make
you shake your head throughout
especially considering it’s a ballad by
an artist known for rapping but it’s
video adds many extra degrees to that
head shake
[Music]
that’s one and done produced by Michael
Bay yes that Michael Bay things start
off weird when you notice that there’s a
guy sitting on top of a telephone booth
then after a few minutes of vanilla ice
and others attempting dance moves the
video takes a turn for the creepy when
the rapper stealthily jumps off a phone
booth and lands right beside the girl
those moves probably would have been
better suited for his ninja rap song was
wardrobe that goes from jackets that
could probably pass for bed cover
patterns to what looks like a mix of
various national flags this video should
be viewed only with the lowest of
expectations
[Music]
number six do what you like take that
[Music]
from the beginning of this low-budget
video you get the feeling that anything
can happen well you’d be wrong because
only one thing can happen and it does
Gary Barlow Robbie Williams and the rest
of take that ultimately stripped down
move their behinds and play with jelly
which gets all over their bodies
Robbie’s face alone would have been
worth the price of admission if we had
to pay to watch the music videos that is
if the video was made for attention it
certainly worked because the group got
just that after the video was banned
from being played at certain times of
the day juxtaposed with the band’s other
videos do what you like is likely the
black sheep they want forgotten but it’s
somehow still made it onto their second
video compilation in 2005
number five hold you down DJ Khaled
featuring Chris Brown August Alsina
future and Jeremiah baby you small very
small yes this is the video that spawned
that famous meme and a full viewing of
it makes it easy to see why in what’s an
already cringe-worthy music video we get
to a park where DJ Khaled talks to his
lady friend while giving her stacks upon
stacks of money you loyal you grateful
ah appreciate that it’s hard to believe
this was the best take of the moment
they could use as one of them is
overacting and the other is barely
acting add in some shameless product
placement for the headphone brand that
shows up regularly throughout the video
and the whole thing’s got us wondering
why anyone would keep saying DJ Khaled’s
name hold on say my name dj khaled
shrine the shrine baby
[Music]
number four break it up Carl Lewis who
didn’t like flattop haircuts in the 80s
this video shows American Olympic gold
medalist Carl Lewis working out kind of
[Music]
he’s mainly just sitting at the machines
and doing a few reps in a gym with an
unrealistic male to female ratio and
then for seemingly no reason the video
is interspersed with actual footage of
Carl Lewis participating and winning a
track and field event
[Music]
there’s also an equally random scene in
which an order lady with comically large
sunglasses starts blowing bubbles into
Lewis’s face with an immediate cut to
them flirting in a jacuzzi he ultimately
leads her into a sauna for privacy
whatever floats your boat Carl
I could paint you pictures that I guess
I could just never write a song and then
number three BB talked Miley Cyrus I
want to feel this feeling coming strong
it this is one of those videos that you
cannot unsee it features Miley Cyrus
dress as an adult baby and trying to
look as innocent as possible
Oh
since the song itself is about Cyrus
being unhappy with how her partner baby
talks to her it’s video just seems like
an excuse for Miley and friends to roll
around on the ground and dress up in
bibs and bonnets
[Music]
I can
however with its lyrical content in mind
we’re sure we’re not the only ones
bewildered and slightly disturbed by the
sights and sounds of a baby cursing and
singing or more like talking about sex
[Music]
number two
milf money Fergie this one’s a doozy and
what was meant to be an empowering
message to women we get explicit sexual
ization and innuendo in this song and
video
the acronym milf is meant to refer to
moms I’d like to follow as in role
models instead of well you know Missy
milkshake so yes while the celebrity
moms that are crammed in along Fergie
are rich and somewhat powerful the video
doesn’t really portray them as the role
models they’re supposedly trying to
promote here meanwhile the use of milk
throughout the video isn’t over you
stand maybe even misplaced innuendo as
there isn’t a real milkman in tow
instead we get a milkman that actually
doesn’t actually have much to do with
the beverage
[Music]
so in essence there really is no reason
for the video to ultimately turn into a
got milk spoof either missing milkshake
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
my anaconda don’t my anaconda don’t want
none unless you got buns hon you can’t
stop looking at me turning me be what I
be you can’t look at me don’t get up
[Music]
number one dangerous def leppard
to break up
around
this video states that it takes place in
2215 but if this is how things will look
in the future we might as well give up
now
while def leppard has given us some
iconic tunes this video is just a
disappointment it feels as if a high
school graphic artist compiled it
together the night before his or her
project was due as it features animation
that’s reminiscent of 3d arts from the
1990s except that well the video was
made in 2015
[Music]
it ends with one of the many battling
androids getting shot off the top of a
dome and falling into water when she
resurfaces alive and well the blank look
on her face represents everything we
also feel after watching this video
[Music]
so do you agree with our list
what other music videos made you
question what the artists and directors
were thinking you put me in these
situations every bucket dumbass bitch
