Madonna - Music (Official Video)

Music features Madonna and her longtime backup singer Niki Haris and actress Debi Mazar as well as comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, as his famous character Ali G. The video starts with Madonna along with her friends boarding Ali G's limousine. Ali G is directed to take them to a club, and later to a strip-club, where he is denied entrance. An animated section follows where, Madonna attacks various neon signs with the names of many of her successful songs. The video ends with Madonna and her friends travelling in the limousine with many of the strippers and G engaging in a rendezvous with them.

At the end of the animated section, Ali G briefly interrupts the song to demonstrate his rap skills to persuade Madonna to include him on her next single. An annoyed Madonna asks him to stop and to turn the song back on. The video won several awards, including "Best Pop Clip of the Year" at the Billboard Music Awards in 2000 and "Best Dance Video" at the International Dance Music Awards in 2000.
