Lyrics that seem so romantic:
Are you ready for, ready for / A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine / There’s no going back
Why it’s not romantic: From the pyramid of Twinkies to the flaming hot Cheetos, the video reveals that Perry’s singing about her love of junk food.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
A tough love (Super power) / Uh huh, like a shark (Super power)
Ooh, like a bear / A tough love
Why it’s not romantic: Because sharks and bears don’t exactly inspire warm and fuzzy feelings.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
You make me wanna tap out and retire / Your pretty lips leave me so inspired
Why it’s not romantic:
Sexy, sure, but if you listen a little closer you’ll realize that Usher wants those “pretty lips” on something other than his mouth.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
Now I’ve got you in my space / I won’t let go of you (never) / Got you shackled in my embrace / I’m latching on to you (never)
Why it’s not romantic: Shackles? Ouch.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
Is it weird that I hear Violin / whenever you’re gone/Whenever you’re gone
Is it weird that your ass / Remind me of a Kanye West song?
Why it’s not romantic: While staring at the object of his desire, Jason Derulo thinks of… Kanye West.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
Everybody wanna steal my girl / Everybody wanna take her heart away
Couple billion in the whole wide world / Find another one ‘cause she belongs to me
Why it’s not romantic:
Overprotective much?
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
Ooh, na-na-na / Put your hands in the air if you’re loving tonight
Ooh, na-na-na / Keep your hands in the air if you’re spending the night
Ooh, na-na now, na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Why it’s not romantic:
All opportunities for romantic lyricism are replaced by na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
Tell me something I need to know / Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space / I’ll take the pleasure, take it with the pain
Why it isn’t romantic:
The rest of the song is Grande literally singing that she will leave her significant other if the sex isn’t good.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
Who said you can’t find love in the club? / ‘Cause I wanna tell them they’re wrong
Come on, just, baby, try a new thing / And let’s spark a new flame
Why it’s not romantic: 1) Chris Brown. 2) Rick Ross.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
‘Cause you’re too sexy, beautiful / And everybody wants a taste
That’s why (that’s why) / I still get jealous
Why it’s not romantic:
Jealousy isn’t a good look on anyone, even a hottie like Nick Jonas.
Lyrics that seem so romantic:
Why you gotta be so rude? / Don’t you know I’m human too?
Why you gotta be so rude? / I’m gonna marry her anyway
Why it’s not romantic: The whole song is basically a tantrum about not getting the father’s approval, but HELLO have you asked your girlfriend?

See the animated video for the modern holiday song we’ve been waiting for.
This vintage-feeling holiday video is a combined effort from Atlantic Records, Kristen Bell, Straight No Chaser, JASH, and songwriters Adam Schlesinger and David Javerbaum. The modern Christmas tune was later animated by Cuppa Coffee Studios. It’s another sign-o-the-times, don’t you think?

Because no music video would be complete without a selfie with Santa.
With a never ending procession of distressing events in the news lately, you might be in need for a substantial dose of something absurdly happy. If so, this new music video for Cameroonian singer-songwriter Irma will surely fit the bill. The video was created by French design house SuperBien and directed by Xavier Maingon and Marc-Antoine Hélard who opted to shoot the entire piece on a single sound stage with the use of 7 digital projectors. The shoot must have been a Herculean effort on behalf of the kids who had to rock it out for 20-25 takes before getting the final version. The song is “Save Me” off her 2014 album Faces.

“The Writing’s on the Wall” filled with optical illusions, OK Go are back with yet another meticulously choreographed dance video for “I Won’t Let You Down.” Filmed in Japan, this new clip features more than a few umbrellas, Honda UNI-CUB personal vehicles (a kind of tiny robo scooter), and a cast of hundreds. Make sure to stick around for the final shot, hard to believe it’s even real, but knowing OK Go, it certainly is.
New music video for Nigel Stanford merges Music & Science experiments.

Titled Cymatics, the music video was created for the first single from his new album, Solar Echoes. There’s plenty of behind-the-scenes footage with explanation behind each experiment on his Youtube Page

Animator Marty Cooper just released a sequel to his wildly popular Aug(De)Mented Reality video that blends stop motion with hand-illustrated cels that he holds in front of his iPhone while shooting. Whimsical characters interact with both foreground and background elements like clouds, buildings, animals, and even real people. Earlier this summer, Cooper was invited to stop by Adam Savage’s legendary workshop where he discussed his process and animated a short piece incorporating Savage.
UPDATE: Cooper posts many of his animated clips to Instagram.

For many Many people who do not have a hint about what has been happening Ferguson only relying on hearsay, artist and writer Molly Crabapple has something for you.
In the lead-up to Monday’s announcement, Crabapple—perhaps best known for her graphics for Occupy Wall Street and her attention-grabbing illustrated reports for Vice—released an expertly animated stop-motion video, dubbed “How Ferguson Showed Us the Truth About the Police.” In it, Crabapple does what she does best: uses her accessible style of art to carry an unusually sharp political message. In a concise three-and-a-half minutes, she recounts the basics of the case, reels off the statistics of the horrible realities of police violence against African Americans, places the Brown case in relation to other recent cases across the country, and explains why activists have felt compelled to take a stand. All this, accompanied by some snappy watercolor animation.
It is, in other words, the perfect primer for that special in-law who just doesn’t get what people are so angry about. As Gary Younge put it in the Guardian, “[T]hose who misunderstand the verdict as an isolated incident are doomed to misunderstand everything that flows from it: from the riots, justifications, denials and rationalisations to the calls for calm and expressions of rage.” For some, then, sharing this kind of clear explanation could be the gift that keeps on giving.
The Police Is Your Friend.
