It also has plenty of nods to pop music past - not to mention several blink-and-you'd-miss-it odes to film, television and, of course, Greek mythology. As is the case with all mass videos, not much to lose sight of why, as we did with clips as large as Lady Gaga "Phone" and My Chemical Romance "Na Na Na", which we have " Hold it against me, "through the wringer and pop culture compiled a cheat sheet is in alphabetical order and cross referenced for your convenience. Believe us, this took way longer than I could imagine, but it was worth. (Oh, and despite our efforts, we are sure that there is something that we missed, and we need your help. Let us know what you put in the comments below)
Photos of the references in Britney "Hold It Against Me."
The Gray: In Greek mythology, were the three sisters who shared a single eye. In the video for Britney, who is leading hood-types with serious dance moves (and eyes do not at all). Same thing, really.
Iamamiwhoami: Icky, sticky, viral video clips enigma whose principles appear much out there in the fetal position (and the amniotic fluid). In "Hiam," Britney, similarly covered with sticky liquid, crouches on the floor, a pose that would Iamami proud.
Kanye West, "Runaway" mini-movie/allegory 35 minutes over the first stars in the West as a man who takes care of a phoenix that has fallen to Earth. The meteor that crashes to Earth in the beginning of "Hiam" reminds us at the entrance to fire a phoenix in the movie Ye. And if you look hard enough, you can also see the lyrics of the song is printed on the top left corner of the photo.
