Must-see MVs
Gwen Stefani wants you to pull her out of her misery
GWEN STEFANI - MISERY
First impression: She looks like a golden Statue of Liberty.
Then for the next three minutes, the US singer flaunts an astounding range of outfits, each one as attention-grabbing as the next.
With no clear storyline, the MV is essentially a Gwen Stefani fashion show, but that's not a bad thing.
The only thing hard to believe is that she feels any sort of "misery" looking that flawless.
THE LONELY ISLAND - FINEST GIRL
We expect nothing less than bizarre, vulgar and outrageously funny when the US comedy trio release music, and it's hard to keep a straight face with this uncensored MV.
US actor Andy Samberg sports tattoos and bling as he and Saturday Night Live cast member Vanessa Bayer act out the absurd lyrics.
It certainly has us looking forward to their upcoming film Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, in which the song will be featured.
M.I.A. - POC THAT STILL A RYDA
Once it moves past its brief introduction, this MV is actually just an uncut three-minute take of several horseback riders racing against cars in the desert.
Set against the rhymes of the English rapper, it is a glorious sight for equestrian fans. For everyone else, it could feel like an outrageous waste of time.
But sometimes the trick to making an unforgettable video is to just serve up the simplest of concepts.
