Any self-respecting rapper has to play a football star in a movie: After recording a song for the film 'Wildcats,' LL Cool J tackled the role of a running back in 1999's 'Any Given Sunday,' Nelly suited up as a running back in the 2005 remake of 'The Longest Yard,' while Xzibit portrayed a high school coach in 'Gridiron Gang,' from 2006.

Singer-songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs covered Nelly's 'Hot In Herre' like any cheeky, indie-folk songstress would: with a video-taped, country-tinged, igloo dance party. The video, directed by Josh Forbes (Cold War Kids, Submarines), is replete with break dancing penguins, eskimos, mountain men, Russian dancers, polar bears, Bigfoot and moose heads. "I wanted something that was neither a direct parody of the original video, nor something directly literal to the lyrical content," Youngs tells Spinner. "[Josh] came back with a setting at the opposite end of the temperature spectrum and a concept that seemed to possess exactly the appropriate amount of whimsy. After all, when making a video for a cover of 'Hot In Herre' one would probably do well not to take one's self too seriously." Mission accomplished.

Singer-songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs covered Nelly's 'Hot In Herre' like any cheeky, indie-folk songstress would: with a video-taped, country-tinged, igloo dance party. While Montreal's electro king-pin Tiga covered the hip-hop party anthem a few years back, Youngs takes it to another level with visuals, replete with break dancing penguins, eskimos, mountain men, Russian dancers, polar bears, Bigfoot and moose heads. Keep reading for the photos from the shoot, and come back for the exclusive premiere of the video on Spinner.
