DJ M.E.G. - Moscow to California ft. Сергей Лазарев & Тимати - Moscow to California -with a water pit-stop in Miami!
What's surprising is not that this video was done or even that it's so damn catchy, but rather that Moscow to California has a pit-stop in Miami.
But then you remember that there's a good reason why I've left that 'anchor' labeled The South Florida I Grew Up In with quotes from Joan Didion's Miami, 1987, Simon & Schuster, which has this line that I end with:
In this mood Miami seemed not a city at all but a tale, a romance of the tropics, a kind of waking dream in which any possibility could and would be accommodated...
I know, I know, it's not the sort of music I usually listen to, or which you regular readers of the blog have come to expect from me, but it's got a real "hook," and both the cinematography and shots of Miami and Miami Beach are imaginative and exciting.
I'm sure it beats to hell whatever video the folks at the Greater Miami Convention Bureau currently have.
That goes double for you know who up in Ft. Lauderdale, Nicki Grossman, she of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, i.e Sunny.org, http://www.sunny.org/ who judging from the marketing efforts friends and I have seen over the past ten years, seem to only be targeting affluent, effete tourists with artistic pretentions for visits to Broward County.
The more pretentiou$, the better. (As if the locals like that were not already too much to bear.)

Especially if they are from Europe and have more money than sense -and don't know when they are being taken advantage of.
Here's another classic view of Miami Beach by boat, Old School which I grew-up with living elsewhere, and posted here a few weeks ago...
