You might already remember Ke$ha’s newest single, “Your Love Is My Drug”. She performed it on Saturday Night Live several weeks ago, and I’m sure if you did see it, it was seared upon your fragile mind. The SNL performance featured fake tribal gear, lasers and tragedy. It was epic in its failure. So what’s the actual video like for a song that actually has the lyric “Like a lovesick crackhead”? You can imagine.
The video starts out in the desert, and I was prepared for just random animal imagery, as The Drunk Child seems to prefer. She’s writhing around with a tiger head on at one point, I think. There’s an elephant too, which is weird, because the desert looks like Arizona or Death Valley, not Kenya. Then there some weird budget cartoon sh-t happening. Like, some Hannah-Barbera sh-t.
Oh, and then The Drunk Child goes back to the glow-in-the-dark paint, the stuff she used for her SNL performance. Oh, a snake! I’ve got to wonder who wrote the treatment for this video. My guess? A lovesick crackhead.
Here’s the SNL performance, just in case you missed it:
wow. pretty lame. sounds like every Debbie Gibson song circa ’87.
She should’ve kept the tiger mask on.
Awful. I hate it when people talk throughout songs, rather than sing; the animation looks like some 60s era crap, and the animals made no sense. The guy was gross, too. The lyrics seemed pretty stupid, and I doubt she’s ever met a lovesick crackhead.
This chick is trailer-park-fug. Countdown to obscurity in 5…4…3..
Ha! @Praise St Angie…I thought of Debbie Gibson too.
That was insanely lame. I think the animation and the sweet kaleidoscope effects were meant to be trippy….FAIL. What a loser.
Awesome cinematography.
ha i love this a$$hole 🙂 she’s cheesy and poppy, but she’s just doing her thang. i kind of liked the cheese-rific animation, i think it was sort of purposefully bad, maybe like her? haha she’s fun to watch for me, so at least she’s entertaining.
Grade: C-/D+
Lucinda Williams already did “Essence” but it was really good…
She looks 45.
Does Katy Perry know Russell Brand is messing around with Kesha?
It looked and sounded like she was ripping off a half dozen or so different things, from Debbie Gibson to the Ting Tings (although Wham! did it first) to some of the Sergeant Pepper-style graphics near the end.
I swore I saw one of the Teletubbies running through there too..
This looks like when kids go to ‘Burning Man’ and stay up for a week doing peyote in the desert ;/
that’s not what she looked like on SNL… she was like a 4 there, she looks like she might be almost a 6 here… how do they do that?
Love the comment 12. Sad thing is they will be stretching out these vids for her cd for the next 6 to 9 months so we won’t be done with this bozo. I’m stretching but I’m getting a touch of Raquel Welch from the 1,000,000 BC, but that is insulting that 60s bombshell.
I want Robin Sparkles to Cut her.
omg that totally suks!
Everyday this song comes on the radio, and my carpool of 15 year old girls-they all sing. It is actually a pretty good part of my day. 🙂 all you Kesha haters sound like old fuddies. I like the video. I like that she didn’t hire a cute model type for the guy’s role. She is teen pop. don’t try to make her into something profound. she is being herself. According to her bio in rolling stone, she never had a proper home, very nomadic/street, always wanted to sing and make music.
She can’t sing for shit, why is she “popular” again? Eventually the music industry will be full of people such as this and the real talent won’t be known. There is RARELY talented people now, but back in the day it was KNOWN for more talented artist.
Sucks on every level. And I’m known to like some cheez on occasion. Who cares if a carload of 15 year olds like it. They have bad taste like she does. And who cares if her label is promoting some story that she had a crap upbringing and dreamt of being a star. That’s about as pedestrian as she is.
