ONTD Original: Music Video Tropes Pt. 2 - Shipping Containers and/or Heavy Machinery & Tools
There is a sister post with the same theme but with K-Pop videos over on Omona. Click here.
Missed Part 1 all about desert locations? Click here.
Below I've compiled a short list of music videos featuring pop stars that, for some reason or another, love spending time dancing near shipping containers or hanging around heavy machinery:
Rosalía - A Palé
Rosalía running amok on top of and through some shipping containers.
Fifth Harmony - Work from Home ft. Ty Dolla $ign
The Fifth Harmony girls pretending they have any business being at a construction site. Quick, someone call OSHA! for the health and safety of my ears!
Jennifer Lopez - Goin' In featuring Flo Rida
Remember this song? Lol me either.
Tinashe - All Hands on Deck
Heavy machinery AND shipping containers AND container choreography!?!? The Queen of Music knows what she's doing!
Robert Randolph and the Family Band - Ain't Nothing Wrong With That
You don't think you know it, but you do. The power of shipping containers!
Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
Jackhammers are probably their own trope at this point, Jesus.
Ciara - Work ft. Missy Elliott
Hot girls in heels using power tools? Check. Half-cut white tank tops and sexy jeans with a tool belt? Check. Heavy machinery? Check. Look out everyone, I think we've got a pop music video on our hands here!
Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles - Who Says You Can't Go Home
Another OSHA violation for the sake of a music video. Celebrities are shameless!
Drake - Hold On, We’re Going Home featuring Majid Jordan
The one where the video doesn't match the song in the least.
Justin Bieber - Holy featuring Chance The Rapper
Bieber pretending he does manual labour.
Any egregious omissions, ONTD? I'm positive I'm missing a ton here.
