The Werewolves Of Pop: 10 Music Videos To Make You Hungry Like The Wolf

Idolator Staff | June 4, 2012 5:30 am

Pop stars live in fantasy worlds of million-dollar mansions, glamorous red carpets and weeks-long vacations in the world’s most beautiful locales. So it’s no wonder that when it comes to writing songs and shooting music videos, artists often look past the quotidien details of everyday and instead dip into the worlds of myth and fantasy for inspiration. Kanye West unleashed a “Monster” in his controversial My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy track; Katy Perry and Lady Gaga got intergalactic in their video treatments for “E.T.” and “Born This Way”, respectively; and pretty much every diva ever has donned a pair of mermaid fins at one point or another in her career.
