The FADER “Ching-A-Ling 3D” Neurological Analysis
- story THE FADER
Our 3-D glasses are in the shop, so at first we were scared to watch the new Missy Elliott video for “Ching-A-Ling / Shake Your Pom Pom.” Would it give us epleptic seizures, like that Queens woman who had to get lobotomized so she could listen to Sean Paul? Would we suddenly turn into Jessica Alba in The Eye, and start seeing dead people trying to ghost-freak Missy and stick rogue Kid ‘n’ Plays into the choreography?
We didn’t watch it for like four days.
But finally, the song’s mondo horn section, tambourines and posse “AY”s grew on us – and we gave in.
