We here at ROGER DANISH are proud to present our very first music video analysis, for Jordan Knight's 1999 hit "Give It To You." Our analysis is a bit lengthy, but after just one viewing we're sure you'll agree that it's deserving of the kind of in-depth treatment we've given it. So let's cut the crap and get on with it.
Sincerely,
The Lucilles
[0:00] well this should be a fun little trip down memory lane.
[0:30] how pleasant. waltzing at the carnival.
[0:33] "you say it's been to long / since you had some" had some what? where is this going?
[0:34] all his friends are dressed like they're goin to the gym yet jordan is freshly dressed after a visit to kohls.
[0:37] does anyone actually arrive in a jeep like that? why was jordan riding bitch?
[0:55] "it's creepin' around in my head / me holdin' you down in my bed" ... holy shit.
[0:56] the dance move where he walks like he has a load in his pants = poetry in motion
[1:00] the combination of the lyrics ("you don't have to say a word / i'm convinced you want this") and that eyebrow raise just made me really uncomfortable.
You want this. He's convinced.
[1:14] "show me where, i'll taste you there." does that need any commentary?
[1:21] somebody's been studying his "darren's dance grooves" tapes! i wonder if he knows the whole "bye,bye,bye" dance, too. "ain't no lie, bye bye bye."
[1:30] "without a doubt / i'll turn you out" ...jesus christ jordan, you're at a fucking carnival, calm down.
[1:35] does the carnival provide that girl with matching bow tie and hat?
Fierce.
[1:47] i need to address the outfit. khaki pants. white turtleneck. leather jacket. let's continue...
[1:58] air hump!
[2:00] "anyone can make you sweat / but i can keep you wet" ... what. the. fuck.
[2:11] it's gone from "you want this" to "you need this"...nothing gets a girl going like telling her she looks desperate!
[2:25] where are all the children? aren't carnivals usually family events with kids and shit? since when are carnivals made for horny twenty-somethings?
[2:49] dance break! the leather jacket comes off, presumaby to allow jordan to properly "work it" in his khaki/sweater ensemble.
[3:04] WHOA. pelvic thrust with the camera at crotch level. classy.
Eyeful of khaki.
[3:18] ohhh who could this be??
[3:20] i tried to analyze the dialogue between jordan and his friend and this is as far as i got:
friend: "that's the girl from the snow cone place!"
i can't read jordans lips but i'm going to assume he said "oh yeah, man, i love that this carnival happens everyday. i can change my jacket, dance with my friends, and hump the air. life is gooood!"
[3:32] i like how even though the model is "acting" she obviously wants to tell her "friend" to "shut the fuck up! i think i'd have to be an idiot to not be able to pull off this 'grease'-inspired moment. i need to call my agent..."
[3:38] i wonder how those red arm things were on the hanger for that shirt when it was in the store?
[4:22] is he...air humping the popcorn girl? did he change his outfit? what the fuck is going on? 
Jesus Christ.
[4:35] ...and he goes out on a high note. no, the video didn't get any classier, he just literally sang the last note really, really high.
