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."

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
