Take It Off, C'Mon and Blow are her MV trinity, closely followed by Die Young and Dirty Love.

Yes, that's the one.

Everyone wants to come for K$ ha videography, but you obviously don't get ha. She doesn't want to have these big fancy over-edited Judas or Unconditionally type MVs, she wants dirt and she wants glitter and she wants rainbows and dancing animals like in the Take It Off, C'Mon and Blow MVs. That's what I love her videography - music videos are supposed to be a visual way to enjoy the songs, and Ke$ha's songs aren't meant to be taken too seriously, so neither are her MVs.  |
But how can you recognize this truth about Ke$ha's artistry and videos, and in the same breath call the Get Sleazier video unnecessary? In fact that video, to me, is kind of the epitome of the tongue in cheek humour she often shows in her art.
Three trans men lipsyncing to these
straight-forward verses? Brilliant.
Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite making an appearance and
slaying it just like the rest of them? ..... Okay I got nothing there, that was just beautiful and awesome to me.
An old geezer in a wheelchair rapping TI's part about his dick and making girls "pregnant just looking at ya", and in the convincing, fierce way he does as well? Bloody hilarious.
Now that I try, it's hard to explain, but the entire video is just so...
dense. And weirdly enough, the black/white only adds to that impression, because it has no colors distracting the eye from what it's actually seeing. The video doesn't go as far as to being social commentary in any way, that isn't her game. To me it's an ironic yet lighthearted take on what many people probably
would expect a video to a song like that to look like.
