You get what you pay for

If you were aksed to imagine what a pop video featuring one of the Pussycat Dolls might look like, you would probably come up with exactly this — the Paul Van Dyk and Jessica Sutta video, 'White Lies'.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8_vOGxCe‑M

And unlike the Nicole Scherzinger video, this one has a much more straight­for­ward plot.

1. Here is my bed.
2. Here is my mimsy.
3. Here is me dancing on my own.
4. Here are a load of people looking up my skirt.
5. Here is me proving I can get through a dance routine involving a chair without knocking it over.
6. Here I am on a bike.
7. Here is a dog.

Sounds like our ideal night out. 

The song itself is about being addicted to drugs.

Sorry to bring the tone down there.
