Burgeoning Canadian pop girlie Tate McRae is getting ready to release her third studio album, titled “So Close to What,” in just a few weeks, and on Friday she dropped the third single from the album. It’s an absolute banger, and I’m not just saying that because the song is called “Sports Car” and this is allegedly a car website. McRae also dropped the music video on Friday, and it’s also great, but there is one huge glaring flaw: There isn’t actually a sports car in the video!
This is a crime, honestly. She could’ve easily added to the pantheon of great automotive music videos, but instead the video consists of McRae dancing in a bunch of different rooms decorated with all sorts of random, strange stuff. There’s a horse in one of the rooms, and in another scene McRae is dancing in an aquarium filled with water. She really is a fantastic dancer, so why didn’t they rent a random sports car and have her dance on or around it? It makes no sense. Even more annoyingly, she’s wearing a racing helmet in one of the scenes, and there’s an engine block on the floor of the room the horse is in!
But, like I said, at least the song is excellent, and it does have car-related lyrics. McRae is addressing the man she’s interested in, singing about all the places they should hook up in, including his sports car:
Where’d you put those keys?
We can share one seat
We can share one seatIn the alley, in the back
In the center of this room
With the windows rolled down
Boy, don’t make me choose
In the alley, in the back
In the center of this room
With the windows rolled down
Boy, don’t makе me chooseI think you know what this is
I think you wanna uh
No, you ain’t got no Mrs.
Oh, but you got a sports car
We can uh-uh in it
Whilе you drive it real far
McRae did have some good cars in the music video for her single 2 Hands, which dropped a couple months ago. She whips a bright orange McLaren 750S through a neighborhood and dances on top of an ‘80s Cadillac while dressed in a racing suit that’s got her name on it. There’s also a scene with other dancers wearing the same racing suits, doing a pit stop–esque routine in a gas station.
Pop stars, I implore you — if you’ve got a hit song with car-themed lyrics, or especially a car-themed title, you’ve gotta put a car in the music video.
