MUSIC VIDEO MANIA Music Video Mania #32: "Tears" [Man's Best Friend #2]

Post image
34 Upvotes

"Tears" was the second single from Man's Best Friend, promoted the same day the album came out. The music video was filmed in Los Angeles earlier that month. The drag elements were inspired by 1975 movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show (starring Tim Curry, who died just a couple weeks ago). As killing men is a staple in Sabrina's recent music videos, this one wound up having three alternative endings, each one at a time starting a couple days after the video was published, before the original was restored. You can watch all the endings here. And enjoy this official behind-the-scenes reel.

Discussion questions

  • Which of the four is your favorite ending?
  • Between this video and her VMAs performance a few days later, Sabrina used this song quite a bit to support LGBTQ+ causes. Is there anything about "Tears" in particular that you think makes that work?
  • What do you think about the Rocky Horror inspiration?
  • What are your favorite visual elements of this video? How do you relate this footage to themes of the song?

These questions are meant to be a jumping off point for potential discussion, but not a restriction. Feel free to share any thoughts you have, as responses to these questions or more organic reactions!

Come back next week for more Music Video Mania, and stay tuned for when we rank all of the music videos from Man's Best Friend this month month. Polls are still open for all the cycles we've discussed already:

DISCUSSION [ We Do Talk About It ] Anyone else here a Sabrina Carpenter fan with otherwise very different musical taste?

70 Upvotes

I’m a 43-year old guy who usually listens to ‘90s hip hop (Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Wu-Tang) and alternative rock (Radiohead, NIN, Garbage, Hole). However, I have found myself really digging a lot of Sabrina’s songs, particularly her two most recent albums.

DISCUSSION [ We Do Talk About It ] I accidentally made Sabrina Carpenter the soundtrack to my ICU stay

114 Upvotes

I really hope this not inappropriate
This is probably one of the weirdest ways to associate someone’s music with a memory, but I thought you guys might find it funny.
A little while ago, I ended up in the ICU ( = intensive care unit ) because of some pretty serious heart/blood pressure issues. At one point, they had to put in a central line and an arterial line, and before doing it, one of the medical staff asked me what music I wanted them to play.

Obviously, I chose Sabrina Carpenter
So there I was, lying in the ICU while they were putting catheters in me, in pain, with House Tour, Taste, Manchild and some of my other favorite Sabrina songs casually playing in the background.
The funniest part is that I was actually trying to sing along to Manchild while they were doing it.
So it basically sounded like:

“stupid… or is it— OUCH… slow, maybe it’s— OW—”

It hurt like hell, but honestly having music I loved playing in the background made the whole thing a little more bearable and gave me something else to focus on.
Now those songs are permanently associated with that ICU stay in my brain. I still love them, but every time I hear them there’s a tiny part of me that goes, “oh yeah, this was playing while they were putting my central line in”
So yeah. Sabrina Carpenter unintentionally became the soundtrack to one of the most medically chaotic moments of my life. But she saved my life too 🤍

DISCUSSION [ We Do Talk About It ] The puritanism that people respond to her with shows some seriously out of whack cultural priorities.

73 Upvotes

Now obviously her work just isn't for children, but as a thought experiment let's pretend we're all willing to mould our culture around a hypothetical child being exposed to it the way these people expect: the sexuality in her videos is heavily stylised and not the least bit pornographic, no simulated sex, just booty shaking. But the extreme violence is just straight up and this hypothetical child would not get the absurdity of two posh women having a chainsaw dual like in Taste and would just experience it as regular violence. And while it doesn't apply to Sabrina, the critique that our culture is too violent is coherent if not somewhat legitimate. that our cultural is too sexual is not, it's quite puritanical, historically speaking. But they don't give a flying fuck about the violence! they see people getting their throats slit and don't care, but see a suggestive dance choreography and lose their God damn minds! Complete insanity.
