The Hip Hop Star with his big pool overlooking Miami Beach. covered with his "honeys" and littered with empty bottles of Crystal is not unexpected music video fodder. A similar atmosphere is achieved in outdoor hotel bars, yachts, beaches or whatever. Regardless, the swimming pool filled with Bikini clad women somehow seems to be the ultimate demonstration of opulence and wealth. Chuck in a dj and some cocktails and then you have great party. However, for countries that are snowed in for 9 months of the year, the swimming pool mostly likely becomes the symbol of an opulent and luxurious life. Not only, do you have booze, bitches, money and free time... you also have heat! I'm jealous.
So, in their attempts to emulate the wealth and glamour of their, largely, American counterparts, the pop stars of Eastern Europe also film their videos with swimming pools. Here we have compiled a selection of swimming treats.
1. Динамит - Красивые слова
This what one might expect from a Russian pool scene. They are making a great party: djs, bikinis, drinks... a crocodile? there is also a sub-plot about a leaky tap, which I really don't understand. But hey! Good effort. Wardrobe on this is the only real sticking point. One bikini in particular.... ew!
2. Niki - Äike Päike
This one is Estonian, and lacks the excess of their Russian neighbors. It looks like it is filmed a leisure centre. One could either view this as a reflection of reality, or a music video that does not live up to its escapist requirements.
3. Жанна Фриске Где-то летом
Just as in politics, the Russians feel a need to dominate the music industry. THey won't let anything slide. This song is exactly the same as the one above. But in Russian. Unfortunately it doesn't sound as good as Aike Piake, which is amazing.
4. Teledysk Dziewczonka
Uh.... Hurray for Poland! They have definitely made the best pool video posted here. It doesn't have a pool! After an initial unrelated clip of beach to set the tone, there are just a bunch of women sitting around on some grass, in semi-clad whilst two fat rappers gawp at them! Amazing. Who needs props when you have imagination!
