If you're OK Go, and you're trying to come up with a concept for your "Needing/Getting" video, you might find yourself in a bit of a dilemma considering you already called in a favor to a brain trust of design engineers, tech wizards, and some of the guys behind NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to help you build a Rube Goldberg machine out of over 700 parts for your "This Too Shall Pass" science-project-turned video. But you're OK Go. So actually, you probably never find yourself in any sort of creative brain freeze because you make some of the most intellectually stimulating and inventive music videos this side of the Peter Gabriel archives.

OK Go's "Needing/Getting" video, which premieres Sunday, Feb. 5 at 2:32pm ET on MTV.com, employs 55 pianos, 288 guitars, over 1,100 homemade instruments (many of which get the wind knocked out of them at speeds of 40 miles per hour), and a racetrack painstakingly planned and laid out in the Acton, California desert. Plus an entire team of physicists, and one very musically inclined car -- in this case, a Chevy Sonic with capabilities and add-ons that probably do not come with the standard package, (but that's just a guess). You may have seen the Super Bowl commercial featuring the band strapping into the car, followed by a sound byte of "Needing/Getting." But having seen the video in its entirety, all I can say is fasten your seat belts and hang on.

Adam Levine performs during the Super Bowl XLVI Pepsi Fan Jam in Indianapolis, IN.

While you're spending pre-Super Bowl hours excitedly planning your Dorito spread, Adam Levine has been busy getting fans hyped for the big event by performing at the Super Bowl XLVI Pepsi Fan Jam Concert in Indianapolis. The "Moves Like Jagger" singer made a surprise cameo during the Gym Class Heroes' performance and was snapped awaiting compliments on how good he looks in a white t-shirt lending an ear to the audience. What a sweetheart.

In case you were wondering whether the Maroon 5 singer will be partaking in Super Bowl junk food gorging this weekend, based on this shirtless pic of Adam, we're gonna have to answer with a big, flawless six-pack of "NOPE." Besides, he's going to be super busy wooing the audience with his own band while singing "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" during Fox's pre-game show. If that's not a good enough reason to watch football this weekend, we've got nothing else for you.

When we think Coldplay videos, we think melodramatic slow-motion visuals (see: "Fix You") that ache with so much emotion you want to re-think every decision you've ever made in your life. But their latest, "Charlie Brown," ditches sad, philosophical dramatics for a crazy night out at a glow-in-the-dark club.

The infamous "Peanuts" character that shares the song's name doesn't make an appearance, but instead we get clips of a young couple on a mission to find each other. Quick glimpses offer the pair racing through the city to meet while montages of the band rocking out in full rave attire -- glow paint, glow sticks and glowing instruments -- are interspersed between the suspenseful narrative. Later, the couple whoops it up while recklessly speeding in a car, and that's when we learn why they were in such a rush: they're running late to the band's concert, duh. No one wants to be tardy for a Coldplay party.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Public Enemy and N.W.A. fan.

Kind of like our girl Mika Newton, Gwyneth Paltrow is another blonde who's more than meets the eye. Or so she claims. In her latest issue of GOOP, Gwyneth's weekly lifestyle newsletter, she took us behind the scenes at her recent Harper's Bazaar cover photo shoot, and she mentioned something that caught us a little off-guard: "Two classic albums were played that day: Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A. and It Takes A Nation Of Millions [To Hold Us Back] by Public Enemy."

Uhh, I think I speak for the entire country when I say, "WAIT WUT." We know Gwyn's a music lover (she'll be presenting at next weekend's Grammy awards), but we usually hear her lauding the rejuvinating qualities of expensive juice fasts or making a case for organic vitamins. So forgive us for having a hard time imagining Gwyn rapping, "N----- start to mumble, they wanna rumble/Mix 'em and cook 'em in a pot like gumbo" while wearing very expensive couture dresses.

But hey, this just proves the connective power of music, right? Public Enemy probably didn't imagine a rich movie star identifying with their tales of inner city injustice, but I guess weirder things have happened.

Ain't nothin' wrong with a little bump 'n' grind, even when it's... solo? That seems to be the message of  Drake's new video for his Take Care single "Practice," which is all about self-enjoyment, even if it's more, y'know, "Dancing On My Own" than "Oops (Oh My)," if you catch our drift.

The new clip, which must have been shot on a shoestring (G-string?) budget, features video vixen Kyra Chaos, who, as MTV RapFix noted, is known for her extraordinarily plump derriere; her rear assets were even painted with the face of a tiger in the artwork for 50 Cent's single "Girls Go Wild." It's highlighted in the single long shot of Kyra gyrating, thrusting, and popping for the benefit of a webcam. Clad in a knit cap, high-waisted gray jeggings, and a cut-out black crop-top exposing her copious decollete (but that's totally what we wore to Starbucks this morning, so it's like, NBD), Kyra dances provocatively to the sultry beats of Drake's track, which samples Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up," to great effect. "I can tell that you've been practicing," Drizzy purrs over the stripped-down, minimalist beat.

M.I.A. is bringing bling to the Middle East. The polarizing musician's "Bad Girls" video heads to the desert, where she ghost-rides the whip while doing her nails. E-40 would be proud. A posse of keffiyeh'd rough riders backs her up on the road, while another scene finds her body-suited backing dancers going full lamé. (Just like "Sex And The City 2," sorta!) Taking aim at patriarchal, equal rights-obstructing governments never felt so fabulous. The video comes courtesy of Romain Gavras, the director (not a type of lettuce) who also helmed M.I.A.'s controversial (and way less fun!) "Born Free" video.

Miley Cyrus & Co. hanging out on some hay in a family portrait. #the90s

We love that Miley Cyrus has no Twitter shame. She recently shared some details on how she broke her bum, but girl is topping that tale (get it!?) with this SUPER EMBARRASSING photo of the '90s Cyrus family swag... or lack thereof.

The singer got nostalgic and tweeted a family photo of her, her siblings, Mom and Dad all hanging out on a haystack like NBD. We're not sure what we love more: how cute Miley was as youngster or that she calls out her dad's hilarious sultry smize with the caption: "Awkward family photos. Look @billyraycyrus always giving face." We're not disagreeing with the LOL factor, Milers, but this pic isn't as bad as some other awkward family photos we've seen.

It was the '90s -- know one knows what any of us were thinking. But one thing we know for sure is that some of those hairstyles, even Miley's, most definitely "Can't Be Tamed." (R.I.P., perms -- hopefully forever.)

Watch Adam Lambert's "Better Than I Know Myself" video.

What's better than a new Adam Lambert single? Why, a new Adam Lambert video, of course, so we can not only hear his ridiculously powerful vocals, but gaze at his gorgeous, glammed-out visage! Adam's just dropped the new Ray Kay-directed clip for his latest single "Better Than I Know Myself," off his upcoming sophomore studio album Trespassing, and Glamberts have nothing to fear: The video is pretty much cramazing.

"Better Than I Know Myself" is a moody midtempo about a complicated romance, and the video perfectly captures the essence of that conflict, showing two separate Adams in two separate rooms: One dark and edgy, featuring Adam in a deliciously villainous leather trench and heavy eye makeup, all shot in cool, blue-black hues; and then a blissfully meditative Adam wearing a grandpa sweater, saturated with honey-brown earth tones. Dark-and-gloomy Adam is guzzling booze, throwing furniture, and staring at the camera with an expression of total spiritual depletion (he's like one of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey"!), while light-and-angelic Adam is making a nice pot of tea, writing in his journal, and probably meditating on how lucky he is to be super-talented and hot and famous. (Just a guess, guys.) By the end of the video, all of the oxygen is disappearing out of the room (hate it when that happens!), and in the final shot, it appears that his dual personae have merged. Dr. Jekyll + Mr. Hyde = One whole Adam Lambert.

MTV's new series "I Just Want My Pants Back" is about a bunch of young people trying to navigate the absolute clusterf--- that is your 20s. Only since they live in Brooklyn and not like, Cedar Rapids (no offense, Iowa), they're coming of age at artsy house parties and exclusive dive bars (yes, those exist in New York). Also, they have great taste in music.

The "I Just Want My Pants Back" soundtrack is basically a one-stop shop for everlasting street cred. Adding artists like Margo May, Cloud Nothings, and National Skyline to your iPod will convince any freelance graphic designer or prestigious art school grad student to at least go on a date with you, if not fall immediately in love! (Trust me.)

Watch Mika Newton's new video "Don't Dumb Me Down."

Just because Ukranian pop singer Mika Newton might look like a pretty young thing doesn't mean you can treat her like one. In her new video "Don't Dumb Me Down," Mika plays the part of a stereotypical blonde -- dancing in sync with girlfriends, thinking about boys in her bedroom, and missing easy questions on a satirical game show "Dumb Or Not Dumb."

"Pink bubblegum, forever young/This isn't my idea of fun," Mika warns in an impressively low octave. Her theatrical delivery combined with the flirty hair twirls send a mixed message, and we're thinking that's exactly the way Mika wants it. She's representing for all the made-up girls out there: "Don't judge me on the amount of money I spend each month to pay someone to dip my hair in peroxide." Preach it, sister.
