Music video


This file is a candidate for speedy deletion. It may be deleted after Wednesday, 9 September 2009.

The music video for the song was directed by Marty Callner[1] who directed most of Whitesnake's videos in the 1980s. It became memorable due to actress Tawny Kitaen's appearance wearing white lingerie. In the video she is seen prancing on the hood of Whitesnake lead singer David Coverdale's Jaguar and massaging him while he is trying in vain to concentrate on driving. Kitaen would later become Coverdale's wife for a brief period.

The music video was parodied in an American Dad! episode, as well as the films Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Death Proof. It was also featured a number of times in the Frat Pack film Old School. It was also parodied in Bowling for Soup's "1985" music video. Originally recorded by SR-71, the song itself contains further references with the lyrics "She was gonna shake her ass/On the hood of Whitesnake's car".

Metallica - Hero of the Day

commentary can make a video seem much more intriguing than it actually is, even when it fails to mention the booty call at 2:35.

Music video

The music video for this song was directed by Anton Corbijn and features a drug-addled youth watching a television, with every channel featuring Metallica in some way. A Western movie titled Load is featured, starring Newsted and Hetfield, followed by a boxing match with Hetfield as coach, Newsted as the referee, and Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett as the fighters. After a drink called "Load" is advertised by Ulrich and Hetfield in matching suits, a game show called "Hero of the Day" is seen being played, hosted by Newsted with Hammett, Ulrich and Hetfield as contestants (with Hetfield eventually winning). Then, it cuts to the news with the anchorman played by Hammett and featuring a clip of Hetfield singing the lyrics to the song. At the end, the youth passes out and dreams of tiny robot creatures, rendered in stop motion, emerging from his ear. He awakes from the dream and vomits into his toilet.[1]
