Behind 3OH!3's "Starstrukk" Video

3OH!3's video for Want's second single "Starstrukk isn't set to debut until Monday, but Rock Daily has an early sneak peek — a behind-the-scenes look at the Boulder, Colorado electrokids' new clip. Named after the 303 area code of their home turf, 3OH!3 first made the pages of Rolling Stone last year when we named the duo, featuring beatmaker Nathaniel Motte and rapper-singer Sean Foreman, one of 2008's Artists To Watch.

By the looks of just one day on set in Los Angeles, the video will feature throngs of girls in fluorescent wardrobe chasing around 3OH!3 and a large clothed orgy with construction workers, a marching band and copious amounts of whipped cream. The clip was directed by Steve O, who says the concept is a bunch of people getting clustered together until they eventually formed a massive dogpile. According to Foreman, "the video is looking awesome."

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
