This Is How We Do by Katy Perry

It's Katy Perry's birthday, so what better time to do a KP blog than now. Currently sitting in 16th on Top 40 is Katy Perry's "This Is How We Do." Now, this blog was already going to be pretty biased because we already love Katy Perry, but her newest music video is the frickin' bees knees. But why? Why is this such a great video? Well let us learn you some knowledge here, son.

That. That is what this music video is. 
This music video is a mix of pop culture, nostalgia, and food. Three of our favorite things. Its artistic and different in all the right ways. And not weird college art either, we're talking classy Piet Mondrian all up in here. The real deal, yo. Its one giant green screen of goodness. Its an outstanding music video already, but want to know what really puts it over the top. Why it'll be walking the halls of the Mount Olympus of music videos? This guy.

This is the single greatest I have ever seen. 
Katy Perry is joined by a variety of extras. It has airborne hipsters, a drag queen Mariah Carey, and dancing frozen desserts. The dancers aren't just normal dancers either. They dressed up to reflect the time period or motif and play a part in the video. There's even dancing Pee Wee Hermans. What else could you possibly want in life? There isn't anything. That's the answer to the question. We think this music video may literally be the best thing since sliced bread.

If sliced bread can save this iguana's relationship you know its good. 
"This Is How We Do" sets itself apart from most other pop videos in that it's actually creative. Its one of those things that look random, but has serious planning behind, flipping between decades, art, and pop references. And it has pizza (aka the best food ever made by anyone ever) and an inebriated  watermelon. IT HAS EVERYTHING.

YES WE KNOW CAPS LOCK IS ON
We're glad that this music video has officially started killing it on YouTube. At over 130 million at the time of this post, we hope it only does better. We give "This Is How We Do" a 10 twerking snow cones out of 10.
