30 Bits of Trivia About Music Videos That Nailed the Choreography

Being in an ensemble cast of any kind can be a tricky situation, and these music-video facts know that all too well. See, in a ton of music videos, theres usually a solo artist or group who is clearly the focus, so the back-up singers and dancers know where they stand. With music video facts, theres a massive group of equally talented individuals who are all vying for a little extra time in the spotlight. 

Tensions run high in a group of five, so imagine the drama with a group this big! Let us know what you think. Do you see any “Beyonces” or “Timberlakes” in here? 

Just dont tell them if you do. We dont need any more drama.

Kanye’s Favorite Movies

Kylie Minogue

KYLIE MINOGUE & NICK CAVE CRACKED.COM The pop princess and the Bad Seed teamed up for an unlikely love song. I had a quiet obsession with her for about six years, says Cave. It was only when I wrote this song, which is a dialogue between a killer and his victim, that I thought I'd written the right song for Kylie to sing. Creepy.

Eddie Murphy and Michael Jackson

EDDIE MURPHY & MICHAEL JACKSON GRAGKED.COM They were both 80s icons but it's hard to imagine what else brought these two together. Watch for early greenscreen technology (is it raining Michael Jacksons?) and a handshake at the end, some kind of gentlemen's agreement that Whatzupwitu was a terrible, terrible idea.

Billy Idol

BILLY IDOL CRADLE OF LOVE CRACKED.COM You might think the troubling part is the young neighbor crawling in her bra and panties to seduce the Business Guy. But MTV banned the video for featuring Adventures of Ford Fairlaine clips. (Andrew Dice Clay got a lifetime ban for telling naughty nursery rhymes at the MTV Video Music Awards.)

Britney Spears

BRITNEY SPEARS HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME GRACKED.COM The video's director caught flack for featuring the former Mouseketeer grinding in a Catholic schoolgirl outfit. All I did was tie up my shirt, protested Britney. I didn't do anything. Then again, she seems to know she was up to something: I'm not that innocent.

Erykah Badu

ERYKAH BADU WINDOW SEAT CRACKED.COM How much attention can you get for 500 bucks? Erykah Badu filmed a video where she walked through Dallas' Dealey Plaza, removed her clothes, and pretended to get shot in the exact same location JFK was assassinated. Dallas cops charged Badu with disorderly conduct-- and that $500 fine.

Garth Brooks

GARTH BROOKS THUNDER ROLLS CRACKED.COM Good luck finding this video on YouTube (although it's on the Internet if you want to dig). Brooks plays an abusive husband who actually strikes down his wife in front of his young daughter. CMT wouldn't air the clip but it still won the CMA Video of the Year.

Kanye

KANYE WEST FAMOUS CRACKED.COM If Kanye wasn't already Famous, this video probably would have done it. Kim's soon-to-be ex nuzzles naked wax replicas of celebs including Taylor Swift, Bill Cosby, and Donald Trump. Maybe the video didn't have its intended effect as Kanye had to tweet: Can't somebody sue me already?

Lionel Richie

LIONEL RICHIE HELLO CRACKED.COM Just your average twice-her-age college professor stalking his unwitting student story. (No, she can't see him creeping around the corner because, hello, she's blind.)

Tim McGraw

TIM McGRAW I'M AN INDIAN OUTLAW CRACKED.COM Wigwams? Check. Tom-toms? Yep. Peace pipes? You bet. McGraw's first top-ten hit namechecks every Native American stereotype in the books, all while he hangs out in his buffalo briefs. Somehow, I'm An Indian Outlaw manages to be one of the whitest songs ever.

Van Halen

VAN HALEN PRETTY WOMAN CRACKED.COM David Lynch didn't direct this one but the opening scene is right out of his handbook: A struggling woman is bound by her wrists while little people fondle her legs. Because, you know, she's a Pretty Woman.

Ringo Starr and Carrie Fisher

AT A GLANCE CARRIE FISHER She was in a Ringo Starr music video. She starred as Starr's love interest in the video for the poorly aged song You're Sixteen You're Beautiful (and You're Mine). CRACKED.COM
