Music video trivia time!

Everyone loves a good ‘before they were famous’ special. So here you go, you’re welcome!

Let me start with an obvious one. So Courteney Cox was in Dancing in the Dark, duh. But this song is just so good and also such a classic.

Before she was telling it like it is on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump was an arrow-slinging video vixen. (sans minidog, that is)

If you needed someone with over-the-top stereotypical Latina accent and mannerism in 1993, Jenny was your homegirl!

This isn’t an actual music video, in the sense that it was ever on MTV, but the international rules of hilarity allow me to post it anyway. Would it be too snarky to say it’s clear who the Kardashian sisters got their talent from? A little bit? OK I won’t say it then.

If you can guess who appeared in Love Shack you get a 100000000-point bonus. I’ll give you a hint: skip to 2:04 to see him/her (!). The answer is after the jump!

Rebecca & Fiona

Rebecca & Fiona are a electropop duo from Sweden. Their first album, called ‘I love you man’, was released last November. I am especially loving their hypnotic Lykke Li-esque track ‘Dance’:

Also, check out their hysterical video for ‘Jane Doe’, below.

Those Dancing Days


[Rookie]

Not only is this video already kind of old, the band also recently decided to..not be a band anymore. Oh well! Their album Daydreams and Nightmares is pretty amazing regardless. (Plus, I only just found out about them, so..)

(New) Class Actress album

class_actress_rapprocher
Rapprocher is the first full-length album of Brooklyn electropop duo Class Actress (who we know from their song ‘Careful What You Say’), and it is sheer synthy pop heaven if you ask me. ‘Weekend’ is the second single off the album, and its first video.

SOOO SAD (but also so cute): Best Coast video

Get More: MTV Supervideo, Music, Best Coast

(Kind of) star-studded, and directed by Drew Barrymore (possibly the coolest chick on the planet).

And! Some very cool behind the scenes videos to watch over at the MTV site.
