Hello, readers, and welcome to Framed, where we have quite a treat for you! Last week, we featured the video for Weezer's great "Island in the Sun," and--this week--we're featuring the video for Weezer's great "Island In The Sun."

Huh? What's the deal? Has Framed flipped out?

Not at all! There were actually two videos for the song. Last week, we brought you the second, better-known version, and this week we're presenting the original, so-called "Hispanic Wedding" video.

You're probably wondering why they made two videos for this song. We think it's because the first one--this week's video--just wasn't very good! Wikipedia tells us that "the executives at MTV disliked the (Hispanic Wedding) video, prompting the band to film a second."

Happily, the second one was better, we guess, and the song was a modest hit. But let's go back and enjoy the original version of "Island In The Sun." It has nothing to do with the other version, or even the song's lyrics, so it's a lot like our typical

We enjoyed having Lionel Richie in Framed last week--so much so that, this week, we're presenting "We Are the World 25 For Haiti," the contemporary remake of the 1985 event staged for African famine relief.

Richie, of course, co-wrote the song with Michael Jackson, and it was produced by Quincy Jones. After the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti, Richie and Jones collaborated on a new version as a fundraiser for the Caribbean nation. The revamped "We Are The World" was recorded on February 1--in fact, they used the same L.A. recording studio as they did for the original--and the video was first seen on TV at the opening of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

The video, of course, is a feel-good event, splicing together scenes of the artists with footage of the determined Haitian people.  If you'd like to contribute to the relief effort, please go to http://wearetheworldfoundation.org/ to learn more.

See you next week!

Hello, readers, and welcome back to Framed, the world's longest-lived and best-loved funny-captions-to-music-videos resource. Whereas other music video critics offer you "context," history" and "opinion," Framed offers really funny, usually pointless, made-up stuff.

It's certainly great to be an American!

This week's video is Ke$ha's uber-popular "TiK ToK," a 2009 song that's hit #1 in five countries and set a weekly download record for female artists. Ke$ha, who dresses as if she was raised in a barn, which she sort of was (the San Fernando Valley), has been called "the degenerate Hannah Montana." Not that it matters: even the venerable Billboard praised the song for "singing teasingly about excess pleasures, from drinking to men."

The video is a bit of a mess, in a good way, as it follows the party-happy singer through a strange day in SoCal. We think you'll like it, and value your opinion. Ke$ha: best new star yet, or not?

It's country music time again in Framed...the music, courtesy of Lady Antebellum and the country, courtesy of Tom Paine, Thomas Jefferson and Uncle Tom's Cabin!

Yessiree, everything's comin' up America!

Lady Antebellum is the hottest group on the country scene, and this week's video--"Need You Now," the first single off their latest album--is the #1 video on the country charts. We did a quick scan of internet comments, and listeners absolutely relate to the song, which is about when "you feel lonely enough that you make a late night phone call that you very well could regret the next day," according to the band. 

As you know, we don't insist that you actually watch our weekly videos, but this one has a surprise ending you may enjoy. In any case, the massah's gone away and the girl singer's pretty hot, so let the good times roll! 

See you again next week!
