Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) Music Video - BrainMovie

Here's a link to the clip.
Not much attention activation.
Personal meaning activated at the beginning and stayed pretty constant for the first half of the video. Lyrics caused activation, but simple chorus and melody alone did not. Personal meaning became less active from the halfway point, and became less as the video went on.
Moments where there was not much singing or differentiation in dance movements, made the brain largely non-active.
