Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' video: it's Rihannimalstraddletastic

  • February 11, 2010
  • Popjustice

This is Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' video, which is basically an MIA video with different music and a different person in it.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82VE8UtW8A

The animal strad­dling in this video is of a very high standard.

There's the zebra, for a start.

Legwise we're not talking full straddle here but it's all about the intent.

Then there's a lion.

We weren't expecting that.

And just when you think it can't get more exciting…

BACKWARDS RIHANNIMALSTRADDLE.

It is worth noting however that none of those Rihannimalstraddles are quite as good as the greatest Rihannimalstraddle of all time, which remains the Ricamelstraddle from that episode of My Super Sweet Sixteen she did before she was 100% amazing.

Now that's a Rihannimalstraddle you can't argue with.
