The video cycles through this scrapbook so quickly that there isn't time to dwell on any of the tunes, which range from Rihanna to Chris Brown to Madonna. But it works, because as MTV's now-defunct TRL learned long ago, pop songs are best consumed as catchy snippets. The tear-streaked rhythm is provided by Coldplay's syrupy "Vida La Vida"-a choice Earworm said he made because...

Even Anne Frank filled a scrapbook with pictures of movie stars. And we are all too familiar with photographs of young men, roaming the ruined streets of Baghdad carrying Kalashnikovs, but wearing Rolling Stone T-shirts and Nikes. You can, if you will, deplore disconnects of this kind - whatever became of the tragic sense of life...
