MIA takes her first turn in the director's chair and leads the young spitter and a gang of neon-clad dancers to a dingy Baltimore club where they proceed to go absolutely crazy with native dances like the "Crazy Legs" and the "Spongebob." The video also features some super lo-fi video effects and scrappy animation that makes it fit right in with this recession.

You have to see it to believe these dance moves
