Music Video
The music video for "Do It" was co-directed by Furtado and Aaron A., the documentarian on Furtado's Get Loose Tour. The filming had taken place on location in Detroit, one of the stops on the tour. It begins in a women's restroom, in which dancers on Furtado's tour are getting ready to go out. Furtado emerges and starts singing, and she and the dancers leave the restroom and walk out of the club while Furtado is holding a gnome. During daytime, Furtado's dancers walk down the street to her apartment, walk into her bedroom and wake her up. They get dressed and ready to dance, run down the stairs and tow a car into the studio, where Furtado begins performing choreography with her dancers. The video is intercut with shots of Furtado and her dancers wearing white clothing while singing in feathers.
The video was premiered on MuchMusic on July 13, 2007, and on MTV's Total Request Live on August 1, 2007. It debuted on the TRL top ten countdown on August 9, returned to it on August 27 and reached number one on six days. The video spent seventeen days on the countdown. It also reached number one on VH1's VSpot Top 20 Countdown, Furtado's most successful video on that countdown

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“I used to be angry all the time and I’d sit there weaving my anger. Now I’m not angry. I sit there hearing the sounds outside, the sounds in the room, the sounds of the treadles and heddles—a music of my own making.”
—Bhakti Ziek (b. c. 1946)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
