Shakira’s ‘Did It Again’ Video
October 30th, 2009 by mollsShakira’s new video came out today and uhhh… I don’t get it? I feel really dense and I’m sure I’ll find out from one of you commenters within minutes of posting this, but what the hell is going on here? Shakira is in some sort of trantric sex dance on a bed with a dude, then in a steam room. Is this supposed to be like that show Sisters? Didn’t they all go in a steam room on that show? Oh, and the song is probably the most annoying thing I’ve ever heard. She sounds like Grover.

THAT was the worst crap I’ve heard in a long time. Ugh, she’s always sounded terrible to me…like if Yoda had a sister.
I thought the video was interest. It was fun to watch. But I wonder if there was any ‘meaning’ to the video… Like with the… I don’t know, martial arts in bed and the steam room? The song sounds alright. Personally I think it matches with her voice. So congrats to her for knowing what kind of music would actually work with her voice. I didn’t pay much attention to the lyrics, so I have nothing to say to that.
Shakira isn’t exactly my cup of tea. It just bothers me how her voice sounds… Pulled back.
She’s been really WEIRD this album. I don’t know what she’s trying to accomplish with this crap.
At least she looks hot :)
some people just make comments without hearing the whole album i think is great and different from the same trash today… im sorry but nobody is like her for sure!!!!
You think it’s different from the same trash today? Are you kidding me? Like.. you must be joking.

Yeap like up there says “like if Yoda had a sister” lol, she is going worst n worst every time… since she release the “She Whore” song… oohhh sorry “She Wolf” we all new this was gona b the worst recrod of her carrier, n why is she releasing another video so fast??? guess what??? the last one sux!!! n she thinks this one is cool lol poor Yoda’s sister… the worst part is that she keeps saying she is smart, lol well good 4 u S!!! but this time i guess we r all allowed to think diferent…
I actually like She Wolf, although I will admit it is certainly different. (I think thats why I like it…I’m sick of hearing the same ‘ol sound all the time.)
In response to the ‘article’: I believe the song is about a woman who screwed this guy a second time and regretted it both times. ??
I don’t care for this song too much.
Are you REALLY this illiterate? I never make snarky comments to other commentators but sheesh! Your grammar is atrocious:(
I hate her, I mean lately all her videos have been about her shaking her body and making sex noises, as if her voice was any plesaure to hear!!
She obviously has an amazingly athletic body and I won’t deny I liked her when she used to sing in spanish, but now? she totally sold her self out
How did singing in spanish make the words any different…other then the fact that they were in spanish?
I guess mena’s talking about the old songs in spanish, they are very good, deep and with good music and lyrics.
her voice also sounds better in spanish
Why does everybody hate Shakira??
I’m not afraid to say that I like her music and that I’m anticipating the album. Make fun of me if you want. :P
i totally agreed with you arugula she is such a talented person so smart and humble i love this album i heard it all and i love it!!!! so different from the rest
yea her voice is weird, but sounds even weirder in this song. i like the bed bit, but the sauna makes no sense
I think the sauna bit is just about her confiding in her girl friends about the mistake she made. They’re all around her listening intently.
I don’t get the video neither, I don’t think there’s anything to get really. I just saw Britney Spears new video for 3 and between Shakira’s and Britney’s I think Shakiras is better. The way way she moves is cool to watch, Britney is still stuck doing the same moves since 1999. I’m with Arugula on this one, I like Shakiras music.
You mean, that’s not what sex is supposed to look like?
I’m not a giant fan of Shakira. I’m don’t hate her. And I really am not a fan of being Capitan Obvious here but…
Have you ever seen a Ballet or Tango where the woman pushes the man away, then relents, then pushes him away, then relents…that’s all it was. The symbolic act of courtship and intimacy played out for general societal consumption.
nope that was capoeira in a bed wich doesnt makes sense, is a basilian type of dance fighting style thing
Uh huh. Because you certainly cannot addapt different fighting styles into dance and movement. That’s never been done.
Seriously, does anybody have any Art Major friends here? I have two that majored in Dance and this is a fairly obvious analogy played out.
dude look up capoeira and shut up ur the one one who doesnt know shit ……..
its break dancing.. the guy is daniel campos.. hes a pretty famous bboy.. theres no need for hostile language
capoeira is also known as a dance more than any other art form. its not known to be a very effective form of martial arts
well, I didn’t major in art and I figured it out. People just don’t bother to think or do research. However much I hate the song I appreciate the analogy.
that must be what sex with jackie chan is like. Hahahaha
i actually like that song, way better than britney’s song three, i have no clue why people like that song, its just outright noise, and hurts my head.
“that must be what sex with jackie chan is like.” Funniest comment ever!
lmao that’s very funny Kylie
I love the video, there is actual dancing and not just “booty shaking” like most videos now-a-days. The bed choreo and the whole concept is great.
I love the video, but the song… I could do without it.
dfyjfyj
this vid was great! liked the bed dance unique! and i like the song. got me movin’:)
I didn’t get it either. I do, however, like her voice and the fact that she’s still super hot.
Wasn’t fond of the song. Thought the video was weird, but watched through to the end just so I could see if anything freaky happened, and then something did, I started to LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO!
I’m about to watch it for a fourth time. It really makes me want to get up and moving. And look at her body! That woman gets more amazing every year!
i didn’t see anything at the end to make me pee my pants…
Oh the comedian. It’s called an unexpected surprise, i.e. enjoying the video. Should I suggest depends just in case you do pee your pants next time?
Shakira can do no wrong in my eyes. People comparing her to Britney? Please!! Have you ever seen Shakira out on the town with herped out heiresses, shaving he head and flashing a worn out snatch? No. Because she has class and is in a different category altogether. It’s called being a real artist who will bellydance her ass off all the while SINGING her own songs. I love her!!
The video is just AWESOME, very original, and the song is fantastic, i love shakira. she is the best.
oh my god what a good video, one of the most nowadays. good for u Shakira we love u.
I think that was her audition for Dancing with the Stars.
that’s exactly what i thought…
that was kinda cool…like a bedroom tango. Don’t care for Shakira’s voice though.
Damn. That was just awesome.
you have to get the concept to understand the video!!!! I REALLY LOVE IT SHAKIRA DOESN’T NEED PAPARAZZIS TO BE FAMOUS SHE IS UNIQUE AND VERY TALENTED NOBODY LIKE HER FOR SURE!!!!
you have to get the concept to understand the video!!!! I REALLY LOVE IT!!! SHAKIRA DOESN’T NEED PAPARAZZI TO BE FAMOUS SHE IS UNIQUE AND VERY TALENTED NOBODY LIKE HER FOR SURE!!!! I LOVE THE FIGHTING DANCING WAS SO ARTISTIC
I absolutely cannot stand her stupid voice.. I mean, the girl’s hot, she’s got a wonderful body, and she can definately dance, BUT her fucking voice drives me insane.
She used to look like a very sweet girl back int he day, very sweet, very likeable, very smart.. And now it’s all about sex, and about her wearing reavealing clothing, and moving like a stripper.. What a stupid move on her part, because we all used to be impressed with her crazy belly dance moves..
But then again, we see this kind of “dance” routines on dancing with the stars and so you think you can dance all the time.. All sexed up, all pornified.. There’s not much difference between this video and any of those shows..
And by the way, this song sucks really bad, but the she wolf song is the most fucking annoying song i have ever heard in my life..
Yeah, the song doesn’t seem to be anything special, but the video? The video is pretty great… not only is she an amazing dancer, but, if i’m not mistaken, there was some symbolism going on there. Stained glass windows have heavy connotations of some type of church or holy place. There might be a point to its placement right above the bed. Additionally, in terms of the sauna, the scene looks like some type of foil to the bedroom scene. Everything is very controlled and clean (the cleansing properties of water and water’s role in a baptism).
Maybe (probably) i’m reading way too into her video, but that’s just what jumped out at me.
More likely is that we’re just supposed to recognize shakira’s hotness.
Love this interpretation !
and i realize now that my above post is pretty annoying… sorry
NOOO!!! I loved your comment! Very thoughtful and interesting!
Maybe it’s just me but it seems to make easy sense.
The sauna part is her with her girls recounting the events of a (several?) night stand. The song is the recounting of it. And the bedroom fight/dance is reflective of the lyrics, that although she’s enjoying some of the benefits of being with some random guy (ie great sex) and can’t leave because of this, she pretty much feels she’s in a different place in her life and it isn’t what she wants right now, even though she’s having so much trouble stopping. Uh-eh-uh.
With that in mind, the video seemed entertaining, but I wouldn’t listen to the song or watch just the video on it’s own.
1:57 – 2:25 sounds like Whitney Houston’s ‘It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay’.
With some differences but still.
What is this shit? A video? How much money spent on crap like this when countless good things could be done with it? Shakira is overrated anyway. Too much fuss about her. Never liked her and I have reasons, gimme a break. She should have stayed with her latin roots. Her Americanization = mess. And u wont find this in official sources: she’s financed b they Colombian drug lords.
I really like the video, the dance on the bed seems a great idea and is very beautiful. I like Shakira because she is one of few artists who changes from album to album.
geez, molls… negative much?
I hate when I read posts like this before watching the video- like readin reviews before seeing a movie… I dont know if the opinion I form is my own…
but anyways I like this song. dont hate.
stupid song/video.
guy is hot, nice moves.
won’t mind “dancing” with him myself.
I hate it when she sings in English, much better when she sticks to Spanish.
Im not a fan of this song whatsoever, but I do normally like Shakira.

I love Shikira for one reason, and it’s not her music…it’s because she’s my height! 4′10″!!!
She sure is a nimble little thing. She reminds me or a young Brigette Bardot. Crappy song, though. I usually love her music.
Sauna- obviously all the women in there are listening to her. Just like women gossiping at work. But in a sauna it is more discreet. It is just women in this. Maybe there is more than one woman that knows where she’s coming from.
Bedroom scene-they are doing the Brazilian fight called the Capoeira. The lyrics go along with the fighting. She is having trouble with this situation…one night stand with this guy that’s taken…
obviously when they get close..she can’t help but be sensual with the man.
Alright..and okay.. I wasn’t a fan of this son to begin with. I liked it over time. It is DIFFERENT. I am so sick of the same shit on the radio. There is something different with the drums, the instruments in the background. It is not the ‘cut my wristsahhhh *scrreeeamm*’ or party like a rockstar’ deal.
These lyrics people can relate.
Her voice is like guacamole…It’s an acquired sound.lol.
& The video..well damn, check out some of britney spear’s new videos..they’re simple, to the point and boring. Britney Spears is a great artist but still.
The originality is fantastic.
maybe the steamy room represents all the guy´s lovers where she must remain hidden (pardon my english, me anticipo a cualquier critica de horrores ortograficos jaj) just my humble interpretation…
I have never ‘got’ Shakira and really don’t like her singing voice and think her dancing is awful, so this video is no different for me except that she is actually dancing properly!! (I’m a contemporary dancer so I get the style this time) Unless it’s a body double….
kyara
LOOK GUYS STOP BEING SO MEAN SHAKIRA IS THE BEST INSTEAD OF ALL THOSE OTHER CRAPY ARTIST I LOVE SHAKIRA SHE’S MY ROLE MODEL SO STOP BEING SUCH DIM WITTED BUTT FACES!!!!!!!! > – (
you people seriously think she did her own dancing in this vid? i know the girl who did the dancing for her in the vid, and its freaking amazing…but it wasnt shakira.
