Miley Cyrus is riding wrecking balls and wrecking the balls of One Direction, who have been pushed off their music video throne after only three months. Over 19 million people watched Miley’s “Wrecking Ball” video in its first 24 hours online, a new VEVO record, shattering the old mark of 10 million for “Best Song Ever” by One Direction.
A plot description of “Wrecking Ball,” if you haven’t seen it: Miley cosplays as SinĂ©ad O’Connor cosplaying as Ellen Ripley, Miley cries, Miley rides a wrecking ball, Miley licks a sledgehammer, Miley rides a wrecking ball in the nude, Miley goes to the grocery store to buy some pasta in the nude, Miley takes in a flick at the cinema in the nude, Miley pounds some brewskis with the bros in the nude, Miley makes her daddy cry in the nude.
I can see why this is so popular.
