Don't Bother - Music Video

Music Video

The music video for the song, directed by the visual artist Jaume de Laiguana, premiered on MTV's Making the Video on October 27, 2005. The music video for the song shows Shakira's boyfriend returning to her home early in the morning (which insinuates that he was with another woman), and lying down to sleep. While he sleeps, Shakira picks up his car keys and drives it to a scrap heap. When she gets there she starts destroying his car, doing "voodoo" on him using his car. Everything she does to his car is reflected on his body. Another vignette shows her lying on his body.

The car ruined in the video was a 1967 Mustang replica built to look like the "Eleanor" car from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds. The pink guitar played by Shakira was custom made by Hamer Guitars. It is a Hamer Special Korina Jr. model with a Seymour Duncan SP-90 soapbar pickup.

This video can be seen on Oral Fixation Volumes 1 & 2 bonus DVD.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:

    For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.”
    William Gibson (b. 1948)
