A music video in companion to Colorado-based band 3OH!3's remix version of their single "Starstrukk" which features Pop Princess, Katy Perry as the guest vocalist has finally arrived in full, and premiered on all the networks of MTV Monday.
Directed by Marc Klasfled and Sum 41's drummer Steve Jocz, the video is loosely based on the upcoming Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel's movie "When in Rome," with a theme of magical coins that spur obsession when they're thrown into a fountain, like the ones that can be found in the Italian city. The video was shot at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum's Rose Garden in Expositon Park on September 21. It follows duo Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte as they daydream about having women falling for them after they pick up coins from "fountain of love". Involving Perry in the daydream scene, the trio running as they are chased by a group consisting of numerous females down a street. This leads to a thrill-ride of rock-climbing, skeet-shooting, James Bond action and a very, very wet Perry, which is not such a bad thing at all. The band's former tourmate and superstar pal even made a cameo in the video, all dolled up in a skimpy leopard-print dress, which is sure to capture fans' attention.
3OH!3, the pair electronic band formed in 2004, and named after the 303 area code from Colorado. The original version of "Starstrukkk" appears in their second studio album "Want", while its remix is included in the album's deluxe edition. The song is also used during a preview of the movie "Couples Retreat" starring Vince Vaughn. "Katy did this 'cause we had, like, a million dollars," 3OH!3 frontman Sean Foreman joked to MTV News. "No, Katy did this because we toured with Katy, we are good friends with Katy and we worked on the song and the remix together. She came in and did the vocals and it's a great song." Perry, just turned to 25-year-old last Sunday also chatted with MTV News on the video's set and gave the real backstory of how she worked with the guys on the dance track. She's happy that the guys are on their way to joining Perry in the pop stratosphere. "It's nice to be around them when they're exploding — like in a musical sense, not in the other explosion sense," she joked. "But it's really fun. It's going to be a fun music video."
