Song: I’m a Slave 4 U (3:23) by
Britney Spears from Britney
Around the time Britney released the video for this
jingle, she started learning bellydance.
You can see its influence in the camels, snake arms, and rib rotations
ever-present in the video. This was also
around the time I started bellydancing.
I was enamored with the art form, the charasematic being who embraced
it, and - most importantly - with the confidence and self-beauty I felt while
partaking in it. Even now, years later,
I am still greeted with the butterflies of anticipation and excitement when
this song takes over the airwaves.
And featured here is my favorite rendition of this
song. You know the one I’m talking
about…the 2001 VMAs including the effects of rain and a giant snake.
