The Vegas odds on any artist scoring another smash like "Blurred Lines" are probably long, but Robin Thicke is clearly a gambling man. He hedges his bets on "Feel Good" by taking that "Blurred Lines" style and giving it a showgirl and Rat Pack twist in an over-the-top production that incorporates a massive video screen.
PS: Hopefully you didn't let it all ride on a return to NSFW territory, since Thicke and crew keep things clean here.
Avenged Sevenfold might want to avoid convertibles, since they usually seem to wind up on hellavious roads. This maybe sequel to "Bat Country" utilizes projection screens to display all the scary places they go.
Birdy will not be the saddest girl at the midsummer's night dream party. Director Sophie Muller constructs a rapturous costume party setting where the mournful singer eventually finds a release.

DJs are often framed as mad scientists or crazed inventors working alone in their music labs. "Turn Me On" takes that mythology and extends it with generous doses of steam punk and the classic Dr. Frankenstein story. David Guetta not only makes the track, but also creates Nicki Minaj, from vintage-y wires, gears and, of course, sass. As Doc Guetta's lifelike creation steps out into the 'real' world we discover that the normal people all have stiff mannequin faces and are not pleased that the brand new Nicki is a definite upgrade over them.
