A Shot Of Tila Tequila: Bottoms Up!

Posted Mon Feb 25, 2008 4:04pm PST by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

The erotic art of striptease has been showcased in numerous tasteful music videos over the years. Along with Flashdance (which was basically a 90-minute music video) and Carmen Electra's various strippercize fitness DVDs, classic shortform vids like Madonna's "Open Your Heart," Motley Crue's "Girls Girls Girls," Britney Spears' "Gimme More," T-Pain's "I'm In Love With A Stripper," and the White Stripes' "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" (featuring pole-thin pole-dancer Kate Moss) all spring to mind.

But no single recording artist has ever elevated the time-honored stripper-video artform to such a lofty level as has MySpace cewebrity and A Shot At Love reality starlet Tila Tequila, with her brand-spanking-new skinematic offering, "Stripper Friends." Hey girl hey, indeed.

Filmed at the world-infamous Hollywood nudie joint Crazy Girls (a place where a crazy girl like Miss Tequila surely feels right at home), "Stripper Friends" is perhaps THE most literal video interpretation of a song ever, as it unsurprisingly depicts reality television's most beloved bi-curious bachelorette and her scantily clad party pals writhing around poles, atop each other's laps, and amid piles of dirty dollar bills. Surely A Shot Of Love runner-up Dani's grandma, who was lucky enough to receive a lapdance from Tila on that show's family-visitation episode, would lustily approve.

Of course, it's doubtful that Tila's supposed Shot At Love boyfriend Bobby would approve of "Stripper Friends," which--along with all the lap- and pole-dancing and a titillating (pun intended) but completely superfluous catfight scene--also features Tila sucking face in an alley with some greaseball who looks like Domenico's evil twin.

But it probably doesn't matter what Bobby thinks, since it's unlikely he's even seen Tila since the Shot At Love reunion taping last year. After all, if Bobby and Tila's reality romance actually became reality, then how would Tila be able to justify starring in A Shot At Love 2, right? So this is probably the closest Bobby will come to seeing his fake girlfriend in the (ahem) flesh any time soon.

As for the song...well, it's pretty decent. Yes, unlike Heidi Montag's "Higher," Tila's video might even be enjoyed without the aid of a mute button! However, the reason for its relative listenability is it's basically a note-for-note remake of the once-credible R&B jam "We All Want" by Kevin Michael and Lupe Fiasco.

As for Tila's singing...well, she's ever so slightly better than Heidi Montag, but she's no Kevin Michael or Lupe Fiasco. She's more of just a straight-up fiasco.

Anyway, watch theĀ "Stripper Friends" video below and see if the music industry should give Tila Tequila a shot:

i agree - song is not bad, but the singing is

not as bad as heidi montag though

2. Yahoo! Music User -
i dont like tilas blond bob. its not flattering + its a rihanna ripoff

3. Yahoo! Music User -
typical asian import model pssh

4. Yahoo! Music User -
The singing could be better, but as for her amazingly sexy body! WOW! SHE IS FINE!

5. eliptek -
LOL... wow... Tila actually doing something quasi-mainstream.

See, this is what happens when all the writers go on strike! Reality TV is the substitute and producers will rummage through the trash for anything marketable.

FYI, the song is pretty appropriate for Tila. Unlike more legitimate artists, she earned her lime-light through the (softcore) porn she's done. If her fake boyfriend wanted to see her "in the flesh" (as it were), he'd really only need to do a quick search on the internet.

6. Yahoo! Music User -
The song may be catchy and what not but the video is horrible!!! I certainly hope that the networks don't plan on airing that video!
Nothing like bring porn into your morning video show!

7. Brandon -
This video is cool!!! I Love Tila

8. blackcourtneymichelle -
i like it

9. Yahoo! Music User -
It is lewd and a corrupting influence. It mocks women and sexuality in general.

10. db_mca -
singing is garbage. this song sucks. she makes britney sound like celine dion. tila is hot as hell, though! i'd def hit that! her level of talent is more along the lines of a real stripper, which is really the career she should be pursuing. she could be the world's first non-midget 4 ft. stripper.

11. etanusig -
That was so bad, I can't believe that I wasted 30 seconds of my life watching it before I turned it off. It just goes to show that the old saying is true "eager beats pretty any time" and in this case talent. But unlike Brittney, I wouldn't even take the time to watch this with the volume off. She is definitley something to aspire to for all the little whorelettes out there.

12. Yahoo! Music User -
She looks like a bobble-head.

13. Yahoo! Music User -
Anyone who says this chick is hot is obviously not looking at her face cuz it sucks. The only reason anyone would like this video is cuz its porn they dont have to pay for. Tila, I bet your momma is embarrassed.

14. jenrulz13 -
i love this video. i saw it for the first time and i LOVE it!!!!! it is the best that she has ever come out with. i love the fact that she is comfortable with the fact that she is a bisexual (like me) and she showcased both genders in the video. lol

15. babygirl94117 -
