Britney Spears' Crazy New Video, "I Wanna Go"

Ahh, I'm helpless against this song and its amazing whistles. (Also, the thing at 3:40!) Plus a not-too-hidden Easter egg. And seashells, what do they mean?

what is she WEARING. YOU ARE THIRTY (i think).

@poopshoot I think the bikini top is supposed to look like Minnie Mouse's dress? I also noticed a skull with mouse ears in the background around 2:40, so that's what led me to that conclusion. The rest of the outfit I cannot explain!

Yep, 1st thought coming to me was "Wait, what are you wearing? how old are you?" Anyway I think it's my favourite video so far (from Femme Fatale), it's the 1st really original one & she doesn't dance in this one so I didn't have to feel uncomfortable & awkward. So yay Britney & "Got milk?"!

Umm. The thing at 3:40 makes the video. F you, Sephora.

MKE (#6,229)

Wow, now THAT'S some jizz imagery.

Mmm-hm. That's right, girl.

OMG, Skynet has Britney!

THANK you. CROSS HARDER.

I like the "comedy" at the beginning of the video. For real though, this is my favourite song.

BigSteve (#418)

Yeah, I liked it.

WHEN IS CROSSROADS II COMING OUT I WANT TO BUY MY TICKETS NOW.

@Monkey I am FURIOUSLY working on a Crossroads II script for the rest of the day!

@Monkey Whenever Taryn Manning comes out from under that rock she's been hiding :(

The music video for Circus will always be my favourite.

SO many thoughts.
1. The songs lyrics are kind of stupid, but the tune is kind of sick?
2. But all the singles from femme fatale sound exactly the same to me.
3. That video is the best thing I've seen in a while, but I think it could be better if I could figure out why the guy in the black leather jacket that purs milk on his fasce seems familiar.
4. WHO IS THAT GUY?

clace (#5,912)

@fleurdelivre Guillermo Diaz from Weeds/Nurse Jackie!

modysoul (#7,091)

@fleurdelivre He was also on the Chappelle Show a few times, AND he was Parker Posey's DJ friend in Party Girl.

fleurdelivre (#3,333)

@clace GUILLERMO! That's why I felt like I had seen him cry…

fleurdelivre (#3,333)

@modysoul O my God, Party Girl. "The romance languages section." Damn, I love that movie.

LastMinuteLulu (#4,896)

@fleurdelivre See also: Half Baked.

@modysoul Imitate a cat puking.

becky@twitter (#6,742)

@modysoul and he was in 200 cigarettes

LaSombra (#3,250)

@fleurdelivre Half Baked is where I remember him most fondly from. And the scene in the beginning where Brit-Brit says "Eff you, eff you, eff you, you're cool, eff you, I'm out," is a direct quote from his lips in that very movie.

abigail (#788)

I really hope the seashells mean that there will be a series of these videos. It needs to be explained! I have never been so confused by a pop video in my life.

JG3 (#7,090)

That was pretty awesome, and I can't help but love any video that pays homage to Half Baked.

parallel-lines (#5,268)

Edith, come with me. I'm going to take you to a place where you can get the the help that you need to break this pop music addition. Shhh…shhhh…it will be okay. These new Hampshire grads are going to take you to a place (I think it's a loft somewhere off the Flushing Av stop), away from the Britneys and Katys of this world.

@parallel-lines LET ME GO

almostcrime (#2,136)

I thought the seashells were a reference to Inception? Maybe? In any case I love this video so hard and am now even MORE psyched to see Britney in August.

dietrich (#4,308)

Did…. did Britney just quote Half Baked…? I'm in love.

melis (#841)

I was surprised too at first, but then I realized that it made perfect sense.

merg (#6,360)

…guillermo??

ChaCha (#5,622)

Is Guillermo supposed to represent that Sam Lufti guy? Am I reading too much into a Britney Spears video?

vanillawaif (#5,302)

@ChaCha 1. Maybe. 2. Always.

newgy (#7,092)

@ChaCha I actually thought for a split second that WAS Sam Lutfi, so you're not the only one.

cbrownson (#4,003)

YOU GUYS THE COP OMG

VictorVictrola (#3,172)

YAY BRITNEY, but so why did she raid avril lavigne's closet?

Olivia@twitter (#5,444)

Best part was using the microphone to whack paparazzi like a super hero, but all of the obvs pop culture movie references, and having Avril Lavigne rub all over her ruined it.

Pound of Salt (#5,637)

I used to be, "Britney, why are you incapable of ever wearing something stylish?" But I think it's a deliberate ploy to appeal to the 7th grader in 1998 not so hidden inside me?

peaches (#4,650)

The milk part was awesome, and I have the sudden urge to dye parts of my hair pink (I will resist). I really like most of the album, and it is great treadmill music.

elysian fields (#2,444)

@peaches I have the pink dye urge constantly! I try to suppress it because I'm pretty sure my boyfriend would haaaaate it.

JessicaLovejoy (#1,166)

@peaches Clip ins! CLIP INNNSSSSS

thebestjasmine (#3,539)

@elysian fields I have the pink dye urge constantly too, and resist because I'm pretty sure my boss would hate it.

peaches (#4,650)

@JessicaLovejoy They make clip in pink hair extensions? Off to google… Thanks!

PandagoesPOP (#6,940)

i want this video…to be my LIFE! Where Guillermo is my boyfriend.

ElizabethMortal (#5,391)

She looks a little less dead in the eyes in this video. I love this song, too.

Siouxsie (#3,497)

I don't quite understand but I love it

becky@twitter (#6,742)

this song is a constant reminder that i watch far too much bravo television for a straight lady.

omitofo (#53)

seashells = demolition man

mouthalmighty (#311)

When did Britney's sense of humor get so dark? Gawd, I love her. I wish I could go back to 12-year-old me and be like, "ONE DAY, YOU'LL THINK SHE'S THE COOLEST AND REGRET BURNING HER CDs."

HeeeyHolly (#6,510)

I feel like this video could have been made by Jane Krakowski's character on 30 Rock.

Piegasm (#7,115)

Okay, let's get real. Where do I find those red sunglasses?

anonymous1000 (#2,571)

who cares if she's 30 and wears those clothes. Madonna is 50 and….
britney forever, except i guess as a working mom, she doesn't have time for the old school dance moves.
