What do all the girls around the world -- or at least the ones in Lloyd's new video -- have in common besides skimpy Day-Glo dominatrix outfits (i.e. Britney Spears during her red/pleather "Martian" phase) and stripper moves? For starters, they all (literally) have stars in their eyes! Good thing Lil Wayne had the foresight to bring his sunglasses.
And you know, it's that commitment to realism (and proper retinal care) that makes Lloyd's "Girls Around The World," so damn entertaining -- though the girls' seemingly endless supply of painted-on bathing suits, Cover Girl foundation and pouty stares don't hurt, either. Also awesome? The video (directed by visionary Hype Williams) bears an uncanny resemblance to Janet Jackson's "Feedback" while the melody plays like an R&B remix of Milli Vanilli's trademark lip-synch, "Girl You Know It's True." (Who knew Lloyd was so eclectic??)
Check out "Girls Around The World," admire the gratuitous use of painted ladies and (nods to both Will Smith's "Girls of the World Ain't Nothing But Trouble" and LL's "Around the Way Girl") allow the Murder Inc. member to take you back... to the future. Then watch Janet do it again.
