The Best Music Video category for this year's Grammys features an array of talent and some striking visual clips. These aren't necessarily the best songs of the year, or even the most well-known. These tunes stand out merely because a director was able to pair the melody with meaningful images. No, "Anaconda" did not make the cut. Neither did "Booty." Instead we have videos from Arcade Fire, Sia and Pharrell Williams that concentrate on shots above the belt. -

Song Questions with Song Answers: Rod Stewart and Shakira, Lil Jon and Hall & Oates, and More
Acts like One Direction and Taylor Swift have created armies of super-creepy, devoted fans. We're not talking about the typical Directioner...we're talking about the stalkers and X-rated fan fiction writers. Fortunately this isn't the '60s, where fans could apparently infiltrate the music industry and send messages to their idols. The best example is Elvis Presley, specifically his hit "Are You Lonely Tonight?," which according to Billboard generated at least four songs titled "Yes, I'm Lonely Tonight" and one "Oh, How I Miss You Tonight" as "answers" to his question. Odds are these songs were more about profits than untamed hormones, but we love the idea of response tracks. -

Stop This Please: 'Turn Down For What' Gets A Punk Cover Featuring Ice T.
This was either a case of the thinking that any press is good press or somebody did not think this one through at all. In an upcoming compilation Punk Goes Pop 6 (there have been six of these ?!), a hardcore, death metal cover of DJ Snake & Lil Jon's trap anthem 'Turn Down For What" was included. The covering offenders are Upon A Burning Body, who got Ice T to spit a verse or two in between solving crimes on Law & Order SVU. The band rewrites the vocals, but keeps the same theme of turning up / down and general debauchery. -
Carlton From 'Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air' Dances To 'Turn Down For What' On 'Dancing With The Stars'
Carlton's dance moves on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" are legendary. It would only make sense that he would take his talents onto the place where stars showcase their dancing talent, Dancing With The Stars. Carlton, who's real name is Alfonso Ribeiro, chose the smash single from DJ Snake and Lil Jon "Turn Down For What" that echoes stadiums and clubs everywhere. Carlton's partners, who are trained dancers, Witney & Lindsay Arnold, come out blazing, laying down a crisp, clean routine that flows with the twists and turns of the song and takes full advantage of the energy put out by "Turn Down For What". -

Michelle Obama Gets Down To New Lil Jon And DJ Snake Parody "Turnip For What" [WATCH]
Lil Jon and DJ Snake in the (White) House! On Vine yesterday, actor and Barack Obama impersonator Iman Crosson asked First Lady Michelle Obama, "How many calories do you burn every time you 'turn up'?!" The First Lady, who is known for her health-conscious initiatives, took the question and turned it into a pun suited for 2014. She changed "turn up" to "turnip" because she's cool like that, and rocked out to "Turn Down for What." -
