SALEM - Till The World Ends

The music vIdeo for “Till the World Ends” by electronic trio SALEM is a remix of the hit 2011 by Britney Spears. Strippers gyrate in comical exaggeration while a cheap night vision effect turns their eyes to vacant beads, more animal than human. Abrupt cut to green-tinted war footage—spectacular bombs and helicopter explosions splinter into streams of light for the remaining minutes of the video. An inane pop ditty becomes a haunting and melancholy rumination on sex and war. SALEM strips the song to its bones and allows the lyrics to express new meaning.
