Major Lazer - Original Don ft. The PartySquad Music Video

This music video struck me as quite odd when I watched it.  The music video lasts 2 minutes and 41 seconds and I probably watched it 10 times.  The more and more I watched it, the less sense I actually made of it.  I have heard the song before and I absolutely love the beat.  I guess I had a pre-conceived notion in my head about what the music video would be like before watching it.  The music video presents a young adolescent female and a young adolescent male that are dancing and waving around a sword and a knife.  Their is a very elderly woman and a dog sitting in the back yard watching them.  About half way through the music video, the elderly woman gets up and goes inside to get a large ax and gives it to the younger girl to dance with.  I literally have no idea what the meaning of this is or why the producer made it that way.  The only thing that I can think of is for viewers to have pure entertainment and laughter.  But then again, as we have talked about in class, producers do not always make things for other people sometimes.  Maybe he was producing a piece that reminded him of someone close to him or something that had value.  In conclusion, this music video in particular intrigued me a lot.
