Dance moves. That's what you'll see in Anthony Green's "Get Yours While You Can" video, which showcases some dozen colorfully dressed people -- a karate kid, a break-dancer, a mime and b-girls in American Apparel, among others -- busting moves in odd places. Oh, and over a dead body. Totally normal, totally not scary and weird. Happens in that alley by the office all the time.

"Get Yours While You Can" manages to avoid the morgue, though it picks up goofy "Scott Pilgrim" vibes instead: The karate master punches a woman into ribbons, and a pair of pillow fighters pop, too. Get yours while you can, you guys, or people will dance on top of you and you might explode into feathers.

As booty-shaking music, "Get Yours While You Can" is an especially dance-y track from the Circa Survive singer: The solo single sounds like an emo "Been Caught Stealing." (PERRY FARRELL 4EVA.) Green squeals and sneers his way through the track, as the drummer keeps up a rhythmic attack with more bounce than a Djokovic forehand. "Let those candles burn/till the break of dawn," Green sings. You heard the man: till the break. Of. Dawn! Anthony Green got back! Also, a corpse. We guess that's how punks get down.

Green's Beautiful Things, his latest solo set, is out now on Photo Finish Records.

Santigold wants you to shut up. Well, maybe not you, but somebody. Her latest video, "Big Mouth," is all about quieting the haters: "Big mouth, big mouth, my, my, my, you've said enough," she sings, killing it in a red carpet-ready little black dress.

That's pretty much the only normal part of the new single's video, which plays like a "SpongeBob SquarePants" episode... on acid. Ish gets straight-up WEIRD: The mostly animated video features a sun stamped with a clock, force field-covered backing dancers, a raining brain, fish with lipstick, boobs with teeth -- the list goes on. DO NOT watch this one on drugs. (Don't do drugs, either!)

There may be a target of Santi White's surreal assault. At one point, she sings, "Ga, ga, ga, all slightly off/Not me, I'll take the loss," as a blonde mermaid clad in Lady Gaga-esque wraparound shades and a crown floats into the mouth of a hungry tiger. Is "Big Mouth" a Gaga diss track or is Santigold goofing around? We have a feeling Mother Monster will let us know. (Or will, you know, keep being the best while squashing beefs with her 10-inch stilettos.)

Throughout the scribbles, White's definitely having a good time. And there's nothing strange about the track's minimalist beats, which remind us of a low-fat take on Kelis' "Milkshake."

Download the track for the price of email at Santigold.com (aka., for free!). Her sophomore album, Master of My Make-Believe, is expected this year.

In the sage words of the newest member of "The 30 Club" herself, "It's BEEN a while." Britney Spears KNOWS she shouldn't have kept us waiting, but she's here now with a "Womanizer" Pop Up Video! Let's take a little trip back to 2008. Do you have the swagger of a Britney champion or do you need to get reacquainted with Brit's trifecta of hair color concepts she rocks in the video? Give your weathered DVD of Crossroads a rest and let's discuss a few salient facts we picked up from the Pop Up:

1.) The director felt it was mandatory for Britney to be naked in the video, as she'd just gotten back into shape. We feel this directional choice; Britney's glamour in that sauna CANNOT be stopped.

2.) The actor who plays the womanizer hated the stylist-issued boxers, so he rocked his own underpants instead. As an underwear model, he had a better selection of skivvies.

3.) Britney got a red lips tattoo on her wrist the same night she shaved her head. Makeover!

4.) When asked if she regrets making any of her songs, Britney replied, "No. My songs are f***ing amazing." We can't blame her. Why would anyone even ask that? DUH. It's like, empirical that every Britney song is a damn delight.

5.) In the restaurant kitchen scene, Britney was asked not to eat the cherries as they were running low. Brit did the actionable equivalent of saying, "No, thanks -- I choose my own destiny," and ate 12 anyway.

Coming at you from L.A. post-VMAs is this week's episode of "Bigger Than The Buzz"! Buzzworthy's very own Tamar Anitai and MTV News' James Montgomery sat down to discuss big VMA news and surprises in episode 6 of the most hilarious short-form pop culture web show to ever hit the internet in all of eternity. (Just my completely objective opinion.)

Up first, THE COOLEST BABY EVER!!!! In case you missed it, Beyoncé announced her pregnancy at this year's VMAs, first on the red carpet and then officially at the end of her performance of "Love On Top." As expected, the audience went crazy, and don't even get me started on the cut to Jay-Z after Beyoncé rubbed her belly. I will cry real tears in front of you. Do not even.

In addition to the Beyoncé/Jay-Z news that almost broke Twitter, at the VMAs we also found out that Katy Perry dances like your mom. No, seriously -- there is video evidence of Katy Perry dancing to Beyoncé's performance, and she's doing the adorable "I'm not really sure how I should be moving right now because this song is kind of mid-tempo so I'm just going to step from side to side and clap my hands" dance. Oh, and she's wearing a block on her head, so like, WATCH THE VIDEO.

And of course, what kind of VMA wrap-up show would this week's "Bigger Than The Buzz" be if Tamar and James didn't discuss Lady Gaga going full-on DUDE. Lady Gaga showed up to the VMAs (and stayed that way for the entire evening) as Jo Calderone, her male alter ego (and Adam Goldberg's seriously uncanny doppelgänger). And it turns out homeboy is a playaaaah. Kissing Britney Spears AND rubbing up on Snooki? Be careful, Jo. Lady Gaga's s*** list is not one we want to be on.

So yes, everyone's talking about Lady Gaga as Jo Calderone and little Jayoncé (Beyoncé and Jay-Z's baby!) and Bruno Mars' tribute to Amy Winehouse, but what about the stuff you might have missed at the 2011 VMAs? MTV had their cameras set up virtually everywhere at the VMAs, and they allowed visitors to MTV.com to access whatever camera they wanted at any time they wanted. Oh, thought you knew!

In case you happened to just catch the show on TV, we got three exclusive videos from some pretty hilarious moments that you may have missed from the 2011 VMAs. Up first, we have a super stealthy video (no, seriously, you guys got kinda creepy with those angles!) that shows some very private moments that didn't air during the show. We see Tyler, The Creator freaking the eff out in his dressing room, Katy Perry literally running around backstage, Lady Gaga as Jo Calderone lighting Adele's cigarette (!!!!!!!) and an obviously drunk-ish Lady Gaga celebrating her win backstage. This is all access stuff, people!

In our second video, we see Beyoncé's big pregnancy reveal from the beginning of the night to the end. We see her posing in that stunning orange dress on the VMA red carpet as she announces, "I have a surprise," just before she rubs her belly. And after her big reveal during her performance of "Love On Top," we see her run backstage as she's followed by BFF Kelly Rowland and hubby Jay-Z. If you liked Beyoncé before, you'll LOVE her now. She's just the sweetest ever!

Lil Wayne showed his soulful, crooner and rocker side with his performances of "How to Love" and "John" at the 2011 VMAs. Normally accompanied by a musical entourage, Wayne began his set solo, crooning the ballad "How To Love" and joined only by a pair of sunglasses, black fedora and black and white cheetah print pants. A radical departure from Wayne's style, the song has become one of the rapper's most polarizing tracks, though tonight's performance was a fairly straightforward rendition of the soft song.

After taking off his shirt, Wayne continued his set with "John," the second single off Tha Carter IV that doubles as a tribute to ex-Beatle John Lennon. While Lil Wayne was predictably bleeped every five seconds, it didn't diminish the impact of the high energy track, which opened with a sample of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" before transitioning into the original hard rock track.  The rapper was his usually spirited self, running into the crowd, chest bumping "John" collaborator Rick Ross and donning, and throwing, an electric guitar. 2010's Rebirth may have been Wayne's aborted attempt at rock stardom, but tonight's performance showed that the rapper isn't giving up without a fight.

Beyonce performed her bouncy, soulful "Love On Top" from her latest album 4 at the 2011 VMAs, though it was her actions after the song that'll have you talking in the morning. (I. E. She's pregnant!!!!!!)

With a dozen back-up singers in tow, Beyonce belted a triumphant version of the standout track from 4. Dressed in black pants and pink sequined jacket, the singer slowly made her way toward the middle of center stage. After finishing "Love on Top," Bey dropped her mic purposefully onto the stage, opened up her jacket and proudly rubbed her belly, confirming pregnancy rumors that surrounded the singer all night.

As Kanye West hugged Bey's husband Jay-Z in the crowd (flanked by Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett), Jay couldn't contain his beaming smile now that the world knows the news. On Watch The Throne's "New Day," Jay spends his verse rhyming to his "hypothetical" unborn child. Wonder if he knew something we didn't when writing that verse.

It's obvious that Britney Spears is a pop music icon, but we also think it's safe to say she's a VMA icon, and for good reason. In anticipation of the still mysterious Britney Spears tribute going down this Sunday at the VMAs, we've decided to bathe ourselves in past Britney footage, pics, and performances in anticipation of what we might see. (So, this is just like any other Friday afternoon for us.)

At her first VMAs in 1999, adorable newcomer Britney Spears showed up to the red carpet rocking a metallic copper crop-top with matching jacket, forever solidifying the importance of crunches and color-blocking for girls worldwide. It was this same year that Britney took the VMA stage for the very first time, performing "Baby One More Time" and sharing the spotlight with *NSYNC. Britney had arrived, y'all, and it turned out she was here to stay.

A year later at the 2000 VMAs, a more mature Britney donned that now infamous nude rhinestone-emblazoned bodysuit for her risque performance of "Oops... I Did It Again!" which still has me wondering how the FCC let that whole thing happen. Of course we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Britney's 2001 VMA performance of "I'm A Slave 4 U." Um, hello, do the words GIGANTIC YELLOW SNAKE mean anything to you? And we'd just be plain old jerks if we didn't talk about the 2003 VMAs -- Britney Spears and Madonna and Christina Aguilera kissed on the VMA stage!!!!! Remember Justin Timberlake's face? LOL.

All these old-school memories are getting me super revved for what we're sure will be an amazing tribute to a VMA queen, Ms. Britney Spears. SUNDAY CAN'T COME SOONER.
