Paula Abdul - Cold Hearted

The first really naughty video by the same artist who gave us "Forever Your Girl" - "Cold Hearted" (often mistitled "Cold Hearted Snake") is a single from Paula Abdul's album Forever Your Girl, written and co-produced by Elliot Wolff. It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the album's third song to top the US chart. "Cold Hearted" became one of Abdul's best known songs for its then streetwise lyrics and provocative music video.
The video for "Cold Hearted" was inspired from Bob Fosse's erotica dance sequence from the movie All That Jazz.



In the video, Abdul dances for music executives with a group of semi-nude dancers. The dance floor includes scaffolding where Abdul and her dancers hang and grind. The video was directed by David Fincher (of Fight Club fame), and spent more than three weeks on top of MTV's video rotation list.
It is notable for featuring both female/male and male/male dancer combinations.[citation needed] In the video, Abdul performs a rap interlude; this is included on some variations of the single.
