"Bubble Butt" is a song by electronic music project Major Lazer from their second studio album Free the Universe. It features guest appearances from American recording artists Bruno Mars, Tyga and Jamaican dancer and rapper Mystic Davis. The song became the fourth single from the album after a remix featuring American rapper 2 Chainz was released on May 24, 2013. "Bubble Butt" is Major Lazer's second most commercially successful single in the United States to date, peaking at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Critical reception

PopMatters named "Bubble Butt" the ninth best dance single of 2013, calling it an "undeniably addictive song [which] had the desired effect of flooding dance floors everywhere this year."[1]

Music video

The music video was directed by Eric Wareheim of the comedy team Tim & Eric.

In the video, it's late at night and three young women with blue hair are in their apartment listening to dolphin sounds and taking pictures on their phones when a flying giant woman with a big butt lands next to their apartment. After spotting the women, the giantess opens her mouth and hoses shoot out and slither into the apartment through the window. The women react in terror as the hoses poke into their butts and inflate them to ridiculous size. The walls of the apartment fall away to reveal the dance floor of a nightclub. The women then begin dancing with their new butts.

The giantess (referred to in the credits as "Buttzilla") blows bubbles that pop on the dance floor and release beautiful, large-butted women who begin dancing. The video from then starts to focus on three of the new women in two piece yellow outfits one in pigtails (who seems to be the leader), one in a ponytail, and one with short hair. There is also a woman hanging from the ceiling by ribbons performing acrobatic moves.

The new women dance throughout the majority of the video. At one point the acrobat woman explodes butt-first into confetti that rains down on the other women. The woman in pigtails continues leading the dancing, unaware that one of the giantess' hoses is coming up behind her. The hose wraps around her waist and violently yanks her off the dance floor. The dancer struggles in the grip of the hose as she is pulled into the giantess' mouth and eaten. After swallowing the woman alive Buttzilla flies away as the video ends.
