This event begins 07/18/1999 and repeats every year forever
On July 18, 1999 Britney's (You Drive Me) Crazy music video premiered on MTV's Making The Video using the Stop! Remix. The video was directed by Nigel **** (...Baby One More Time & Oops...! I Did It Again) at the AES Power Station in Redondo Beach, California.
Britney came up with the concept of the video stating that "it would be cool to be in a club, and we're dorky waitresses , and we break out and start dancing. To promote the film Drive Me Crazy (which changed its name to capitalize on the song) Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier were invited to make cameo appearances. Grenier declined at first, but was ultimately convinced by Nigel to appear in the music video. He went on to mention that Britney's a great girl and had great work ethic.
The music video was featured on the end credits of the season 4 premiere of Sabrina the Teenage Witch in which Britney also guest starred.
The music video debuted on TRL at #4 on August 24, 1999 and is the longest running by a female artist on TRL with 73 days in the top 10.
The video was also nominated for Best Dance Video at the 2000 MTV VMA's, but lost to Jennifer Lopez's Waiting For Tonight.
