New music video roundup

Here are some of the songs that've caught my attention over the last week or two. Maybe you will like them, and maybe you will not. This is because of the infinite capacity of humans to hold differing opinions, and that is what makes life exciting, is it not?

(NB: If you're reading this on Facebook, you need to come to this website to see the videos)

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

If there was still such a thing as The OC, this song would be all over it.

It stopped Rihanna being number one in the USA.

The band have a gramatically incorrect apostrophe in their name.

Lynne Truss would probably have something to say about that.

Junior Senior - Can I Get Get Get (To Know You Better)

This video features lots of Junior Senior fans who filmed themselves lip-sycning to the song.

We told you all about it earlier this year so don't come running to us crying that you missed your chance to be famous by starring in an obscure Danish pop duo's music video.

This film clip is proof that Simon Cowell can stick his head up his bum and trump.

will.i.am - I Got It From My Mama

This is the first solo single from the one with the talent out of the Black Eyed Peas.

It is absolutely terrible.

You will be singing it for the rest of the year.

Candie Payne - One More Chance

Candie Payne is the Amy Winehouse you can rely on to turn up to gigs.

One More Chance is produced by Mark Ronson, who done the Amy Winehouse album, so it is not just a coincidence that they sound a bit "similar".

Candie shows off her slim pins in the video.

This is the best summer song of 2007. FACT!

Prima J - Rockstar

Bonkers lyrics ahoy! Prima J "think they're Queen Elizabeth"! But they are not dead! Or Ginger! Crazy.

They dance like marionettes. Amazing.

It is from the EVIL Bratz movie. There is probably a backwards message hidden in the lyrics which instantly turns you into a money-grabbing spoiled teen slut.

OMG! Darren Hollyoakz iz buff! LOL :)

Er...

Help!

Famous for 4.3 seconds

4.3 seconds is the average length of a shot on MTV. So, when Junior Senior offer you the chance to "star" in their new video, you don't need to worry about using up your 15 minutes of fame. In fact, you should think of it as a downpayment.

Junior Senior, by the way, are the Danish group whose "D-D-D-Don't Stop the Beat" record was momentarily popular a couple of years ago. It was actually very good in a lighthearted, frothy pop way.

They're coming back later this year with a new single, "Can I Get Get Get (To Get To Know You Better Baby)" and they want the video to feature you. Yes, you, monkeyboy.

Here's what they want:

You (and/or your friend, or whatever - keep your imagination open!) performing the song, we would like you to do it in some location where you live that is somehow remarkable and emblematic of your town or country (for instance in Paris: the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre etc, in New York: Central Park, in the subway etc - but if you live in a small-town in the middle of nowhere maybe outside the local grocery store is the best place, you get the idea). And as you might know, a little theme of our album is yo-yo's, so we would be happy if you would play the yo-yo at one point, but it's not a must.

Got that? Now go over to their myspace site to download the single, and pretty soon you'll be famous. Famous, I tells ya.
