So, um, have you seen Shakira’s video for She Wolf? If you’re not already laughing out loud, I’ll take that as a “no.”
I can’t embed the video. Thanks, Sony Entertainment. But I can show a still shot of what looks like her dancing inside some sort of human orifice.
Nothin’ says lovin’ like dancin’ in a colon.
Poor thing. Somewhere between wanting to blend the leotard-marketability of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé with trying to dance like a werewolf would,¹ the whole thing falls apart. It gets weirder and weirder and weirder until one final WTF series and a confused look on your face.
That dancing in the mud thing she did in 2001 in Suerte (Whenever, Wherever) probably bought her at least a decade of immunity. But still: in 2009, she’s dancing in a colon. Granted, it looks like a sparkling clean one. I’ll give you that.
Anyway, happy Friday. Let’s go make some bad decisions tonight. We’ve got a whole weekend before we have to pretend like they never happened.
Edit: Floreta has made a great point that I forgot to mention. Shakira is still hot, despite the orifice dance. This odd creative decision doesn’t change that — at all.

¹Because werewolves are known for their fancy footwork.
she’s still hot!
You make an excellent point. I should make an edit to the post about that.
I haven’t seen it, I really should. Ill google that video, so far the shots look disgusting to me. Colon? LOL.
There’s a link to it on the blog. I just couldn’t embed it. And it’s just.. so weird. Totally watchable. But weird.
DAMMIT. She stole Maxie and my’s idea for our next vlog!
You should fight her and make that your next vlog.
that video scares the shit out of me
It’s just so… strange.
I say this with the utmost pride and sincerity; Shakira can dance in my colon any time any day. Just puttin that out there.
Haha. You should call her agent. It’s worth a shot, right?
So she is stunning. Her body is insane. But…this song is really bad. I know I will be singing it in a month, yet it does not negate the awfulness. And those herky-jerky dance moves at the end? Not hot.
So herky. It looked painful.
Um, ew?
I still want her people to explain what that red stuff is supposed to be.
This song keeps getting stuck in my head. I finally had to download it and be done with it.
The video is f’ing weird though. Her dancing makes her look like she has a touch of tourettes.
Tourettes! I almost posted the video of Amy Poehler in Deuce Bigalo because this video made me think the same thing.
-2 for the panting and the howling. +2 for working “lycanthropy” into a lyric.
This is a bad video. But she’s still amazing.
I KNOW. She HOWLS. ?!
LOL, first time I saw this video I thought it was a joke with all the writhing, bad dancing and ridiculously heavy breathing!
Shakira-Stop trying so hard! You are naturally sexy.
Right? She doesn’t have to work for it.
wow. i am in general awe of shakira (SO HOT. WANT TO LICK HER INSANE BODY, OMFG) but.. uh.. no. part of what makes her so hot is her awesome dancing, and there is only weirdo contortion and not-hot dancing here. while singing a really crappy song. shakira, WHY?
The song is so bad. And I don’t know why the werewolf is in her closet.
I just want to know who the CHOREOGRAPHER was. Because I doubt she came up with that on her own. Also, I would murder someone for her hair while she’s in the cage. I thought I was having a good hair day but now I’m going to cry.
That cage scene… The wardrobe manager/stylist/whatever deserves an award.
Maybe she’s dancing in her producer’s colon? And that could be a new phrase? She’s so far up his ass…
she’s dancing in his colon!
No?
Oh well, I tried.
Back to Shakira…
I loved Shakira before she crossed over. She was edgy and had long, straight black hair and her music style was similar to Alanis Morissette when Alanis had that really good album out. You know? The FIRST one. I called her my Hispanic Alanis.
Her crossover music and videos make cringe because she became a “sell out” in my eyes.
Blonde hair? Sexy clothes? The Hispanic Alanis AND the Canadian Alanis would rather die than to be seen showing cleavage or shaking their ass.
OK I take that back.
Alaniss did that video of her walking nekked. But then what happened to her after that? NOBODY KNOWS. She disappeared.
I guess moral of the story is if you’re going to show skin your name better be Shakira? OR….. ? ??
That is a very odd leotard looking thing…
Two things:
1) Who is this Shakira person of whom you speak?
and
2) “Anyway, happy Friday. Let’s go make some bad decisions tonight. We’ve got a whole weekend before we have to pretend like they never happened.” To paraphrase The Bard, if this be error and upon you proved, no man has ever drank, no woman has ever faked it*.
* closing lines of Sonnet 116 for the curious
Dude that looks like the intro to a bad 80′s TV show.
Which we’d watch, of course, right?
the funny thing is she manages to look hot no matter where she is or how she is dancing! not even if its in an orfice !
I know. She looks ridiculous, but still gorgeous.
