I know that a lot of Katy Perry's music is what one might call "trashy", but E.T. is just so damn catchy, I couldn't help but make a MV out of it. For some reason the metaphor of lover-as-alien-abductor really fascinates me....you could have a field day analyzing this song in a gender studies class. But you don't want to hear my scholarly musings on the nature of intrusive masculinity, you want to see a Halloween-themed JN music video! :dance:

I had a lot of fun making this, but now that I go back and watch it, I get the sense that I've just added one more piece of evidence to the overwhelming case for my inability to portray a healthy relationship. :rolleyes: In fact, my Dad only saw 30 seconds of this before remarking "you're really screwed up, you know that?". I take that as a sign of overall success :thumbsup:

Anyway, here you go. Enjoy the effects bonanza. This is exactly the sort of perfectionist bullcrap that keeps me from finishing anything in life in a reasonable time frame

@Katie: Isn't this version of the song way better than the version with Kanye West? He takes the song out of metaphor territory and drives it straight into "Imma probe you" land. I know the original isn't exactly subtle, but the Kanye West version is the lyrical equivalent of being hit over the head with a shovel. FAIL.

P.S. Wow, with this song, the mainsite's disc space usage is teetering at the brink of 99.5%...I need to delete some of the .mp4 episodes to temporarily make more room.

And yet they never play it on the radio... **shakes head** I actually held off on making this video for months because I had only heard the Kanye West version, and frankly it pissed me off. Fortunately, I found the Katy Perry only version on youtube, and knew immediately I had to use it for an mv. JN is a treasure trove of mad science/alien abduction clips.

grrr silly radio people.. My sister snuck this song onto my Ipod. It quickly became one of my most listened to.

:)

Kanye West just had to go and ruin it. It was perfectly fine before.

I am so happy you chose this song. PS... trying to make my own very first video! :) I shall fail but at least I will have tried!

Awesome! Can't wait to see it! (Also, apologies for not sending you Sony Vegas...I can't seem to find it in my computer. I suspect it was deleted when I wiped my hard drive. Sorry :( )

I want to take a gender studies class in college :) -makes a mental note to bring this song up-

And yes, Mara, you have a problem with portraying a healthy relationship, but do they really make for great story-telling? Hell no! So a little dysfunction is necessary :lol: Nicely done video, as always.

Poor Mr Superintelligent-Alien-Pretending-To-Be-A-Kid-Called-Jimmy-Neutron Did Not Do The Research on human head/body ratio. :P

...actually, now that I think about it, Jimmy actually being an alien in disguise explains a lot. :blink:
