I just spent half an hour watching arabic music videos while waiting for my dinner... here are two of the more amusing sequences I witnessed:
1) A music video by the duo Milk and Honey (one of whom is white and blonde, but still sings in arabic... I'm guessing she's Milk) for their (hit?) song "Didi". Frankly, the bellydancing of these two girls makes American MTV look pretty tame...
2) The following random 2-minute clip: Girl and guy are sitting and talking together in a parked convertible. The girl is in the driver's seat. Every few seconds, she breaks out into a few notes of song, which the guy finds very entertaining... suddenly, a different girl (dressed in a bright yellow leotard) jumps out of the shadows and starts yelling at the singing girl and slapping her left and right repeatedly... then, a man (also dressed in a bright yellow leotard, and cape! which must make him even more powerful and weird) steps into the scene and grabs the yellow girl's arm. The singing girl, sensing her opportunity, returns a slap. Yellow man kisses her hand and appears to sweet-talk her. Randomly, he punches sitting guy (who has been quiet this whole time) in the face... yellow man points into the camera which has now zoomed in on him, yells something, and is off!
I'd like to say that these things would make more sense if I knew Arabic... but something tells me they actually wouldn't.
