You've probably already seen Nicki Minaj's new video for "Super Bass" ... In your weirdest, wettest dreams.

Here's a quickie breakdown: (1) Nicki and five clones engage in cute choreographed humping while dressed identically in pink wigs, shredded cutoffs, and candy-colored Doc Martins; (2) Ms. Minaj goes all Lizard Queen in a scaly ass-less swimsuit, frolicking with a bunch of beefcakes in a Pepto Bismol pool; (3) Girl grinds all over a motorcycle made of ice; (4) Looking like a possessed Chaka Khan who's planning to drink your blood and do strange things to your corpse, Nicki doles out lap dances in some black-lit backroom.
