Does anyone remember a music video that made the rounds on the web a few months ago? It featured naked French chicks holding a stereo while censors over their t 'n' a would say the lyrics. Obviously it got hundreds upon thousands of hits. I mean c'mon, the entire video was naked women walking down a street while slightly confused bystanders wondered what was happening while trying to hide their erections. The video was by a French dance group called Make The Girl Dance, promoting "Baby, Baby, Baby". And it did well (Though many videos just called it generic names like "Naked French Girls!!" or "Sexy Music Video (vote 5 + sub)")

Either way, it seems Activision saw the popular video and decided to gut it for all it's worth. Recently this video has popped up, seemingly just a parody of the original. 4 naked women walk down a street (With a lot more on-lookers I might add), when all of a sudden a huge dude walks up and strips off with them. It's the only time I've thanked the internet for black-bar censors, and quite frankly just made me laugh.

Then I saw the song titles on the bars. "All the Pretty Faces"? "Steady as She Goes"? "The Rock Show"?! Seems instead of putting lyrics over the censor bars, we get a nice slew of confirmed Guitar Hero 5 songs instead. I honestly don't know what they were thinking when they made this. I guess it works, but unless you know the songlist for the game already, you aren't going to have a clue this is a GH ad. Not to mention it doesn't really stick with you. Remember the last GH viral ad, with the bike riding along at night and the lights attatched to the handlebars? Yeah, that's because it's distinctive and original. This is a short parody for an obscure dance group who don't even have a Wiki. The actual music video has been forgotten now and is lost in a sea of shitty web videos.

Of course it could still have absolutely nothing to do with Guitar Hero, but from the song titles mentioned, I'd find that suspect if they didn't have a hand in the quick clip.
