Martin Garrix and Usher have unveiled not one, but two of music videos for their new collaboration "Don't Look Down." They have created a fictional country club called Le Garritsen, named after Martin Garrix's real last name, Garritsen, with a real website, where two ushers fall head-over-heels for a patron and do anything to try and win them over. As they lay their eyes on the patrons, a series of innuendos flies across the screen including a man pumping up a inflatable raft, chocolate sauce slowly covering a peeled banana and champagne shaking until it is popped. Watch the towel boy video below.
Directed by Petros, the two videos follow a towel boy and towel girl and their quest to try and seem cool enough for their love interest. The videos end with similar scenes as both employees pull off outrageous dance moves on the pool, getting the crowd into the action, but their love interests end up being for each other. As the towel boy and girl sit on their giant sea horses they lock eyes and smile at each other with the scene fading to black. Watch the towel girl video below. Purchase the single on iTunes.
The videos were premiered as part of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards today.
The video is filled with clichés, but it is so over the top with its outrageous attempts at being a love story that it is more of a comedy than a sappy romance.
Browsing the Le Garristsen Country Club website, which was coincidently founded in 1996, the same year as Garrix was born, you will find a few gems there. Apparently the club boasts a pool, which has 10x-filtered water, making it "green," and is revitalizing the Seahorse populations. You can get tennis lessons from retired pro Samuel Braun, his manager Scooter Braun.
