WATCH IT: Aerosmith "What Could Have Been Love" (Marc Klasfeld, dir.)

Aerosmith has been at the music video game so long it is hard to do something that audiences haven't already seen from them. How long? They were a villainous Beatles stand-in during Sgt. Peppers. Director Marc Klasfeld veers more into Aerosmith 2.0 here, crafting a clip that hits some of their favorite notes (sexy young couple, gloriously divey desert bar) but comes out the other side delivering an unexpected twist (you'll have to watch).  --> watch "What Could Have Been Love"

WATCH IT: Nelly Furtado "Parking Lot" (Ray Kay, dir.)
