If you don’t think this is pure poetry in motion, you may want to listen to this.

3. Nelly, “Hot in Herre” (2002)
This video is literally so hot, the dancers are sweating.

Actress Tawny Kitaen writhing around in a white negligee on lead singer David Coverdale’s Jaguar XJ is the stuff of music video legend.

It’s not so much about all the things she said, but how she said them, y’know?
