The best video I've seen this year

I was watching my favorite channel VH1 when the video for the latest Fergie single came up. Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas has had a series of successful singles that borrows from other artists sound. Fergie's new song, "Clumsy", is in that Christina Aguilera mode of faux 40's retro to a current electronic beat and is extremely catchy.

Best of all, the video is done in a pop-up book style with great special effects. Although the effects aren't groundbreaking, the zippy visual style is definitely forward thinking and will probably be copied in commercials for the next 6 months. I really enjoyed the segments with the airlock and the plane. A great video to a decent song.
