Christina Aguilera‘s music video, Ain’t No Other Man, arrived on the internet on June 20, 2006, immediately going to number one on the iTunes video chart. The music video begins with the credits for what appears to be a 1930s film noir movie, billing Christina Aguilera in “Ain’t No Other Man”. A car pulls up in a back alley, with the license plate, “Baby Jane”, a reference to the 1962 movie, “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”. In the background is an earlier song, “I Got Trouble”, from Back to Basics. A mystery man in the alley smokes his cigarette before opening the car door. As Baby Jane steps out, a street sign reveals that she’s in Harlem.
The next scene has Aguilera in a blonde wig performing with a big band in a twenty first century night club.
Scene three cuts to the dressing room with her fellow female performers.
From here on it’s a series of settings for Aguilera’s performance, in dazzling silver and gold dresses, continually lit up by camera flashlights. Together with her backup dancers she goes through the moves in a hallway, on the stage, and on the top of a pool table. As men interact with her, from the dance team and from the audience, she consistently pushes them away, reinforcing her commitment to her words, “Ain’t No Other Man”.
The clip finishes with Aguilera lying on a grand piano, singing, “I got trouble trouble trouble, lying at my door. Yes I’m a whole lot of trouble, Baby, like a kid in a candy store.

Lyrics for Ain’t No Other Man
Hey!!!!!
Do your thing honey!
(Verse: 1)
I could feel it from the start,
Couldn’t stand to be apart.
Something ‘bout you caught my eye,
Something moved me deep inside!
Don’t know what you did boy but you had it and i’ve been hooked ever since.
(Hook)
I told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friends
Told the others, my lovers, both past and present tense.
That every time I see you everything starts making sense.
Do your thing honey!
(Chorus)
Ain’t no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain’t no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do!)
You’re the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon. (hey)
You got soul (yeah), you got class (ohh). You got style, you’re a badass
Oh Yeah!
Ain’t no other man it’s true (all right)
Ain’t no other man but you.
(Verse: 2)
Never thought I’d be alright. No, no, no!
‘Til you came and changed my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
What was cloudy now is clear! Yeah, yeah!
You’re the light that I needed.
You got what I want boy, and I want it!
So keep on givin’ it up!
(Hook)
Tell your mother, your brother, your sister, and your friends.
Tell the others, your lovers, better not be present tense.
Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine and no one else’s!
Ooooh,oh oh!
(Chorus)
Ain’t no other man, can stand up next to you (to you yeah)
Ain’t no other man (ain’t no other man) on the planet does what you do
You’re the kinda guy, a girl finds(a girl finds) in a blue moon.
You got soul (soul), you got class (class).
You got style, you’re a badass- yeah yeah yeah!
Ain’t no other man it’s true
Ain’t no other man but you.
