Watching the video can take away from the point of the song?

Ok, for this next blog post im going to do something a little different than before, I'm doing a band called Die Antwoord, they are a south African pop band. Im going to kind of show the difference of pop in North America compared to pop in South America. I had a couple of friends from my school and work watch this video just to get their reaction. I fink u freeky
This video got the same reaction from everyone who watched it, all of them seemed to think that the video was weird and kind of creepy. I actually rather enjoyed the video. the video to me seemed a little more rock like than pop in North America. Now I do understand that this song is only one pop song in South Africa, and i do understand that not all songs in South America are necessarily like this song. I like the video because it is rather weird and it catches my attention from the start to the end. It is a very weird video but i think that if all pop in South Africa is like this i have no problems with that.

In north America our pop seems to be a lot more upbeat something that makes you want to get up and dance, i enjoy this as well (even though i cant dance at all). The song I chose to compare to I Fink U Freeky is Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus, This song is very well liked by the people i asked. When i watched the video i had a similar reaction to the one that i had while watching I Fink U Freeky. Both videos while giving completely different feels if you listen to them without watching the video and just listening seem to be a little weird while actually watching the videos. They seem to both have a women who seems to be showing quit a bit of skin. I think that both videos while giving different feels are similar. I like both songs and like both videos.

Both videos are kind of random in their own way. Mileys video is about her ex wreaking her and i understand the wreaking ball and all that but i dont understand why she is partially nude in most of the video and what is with her and licking the hammer? i don't really understand why  she seems to be trying to be sexy while also trying to express that she is hurt. The Die Antwoord video is similar in that I understand that this girl is kind of a "freak" however i dont understand how this video expresses much for liking someone, it really only covers the freaky part. Both songs are great, both videos are great, but while a lot of people judge new music because they dont understand it or just its video i think that they also need to watch videos of the songs that they do like and see if they make sense. sometime just watching the video can take away from the actual song.

Look at the videos of a couple of different songs that you like and than just listen to the songs without watching the video and see if you feel something different each time, or maybe understand the song differently. Music videos can change the way we think of a song or even just change what we think the song is about.
