Alanis Morissette's 'Everything' video inspired by Jarabe de Palo's 'Bonito'

Twenty-three years after Jarabe de Palo released their music video "Bonito," its distinctive style inspired Alanis Morissette's team to create a similar clip. Guy Osear, who managed artists like Madonna and U2, saw the "Bonito" video during a trip to Spain in late 2003. He was struck by its originality and believed it would be perfect for Morissette's upcoming album.

Morissette's team contacted Marc Donés, Pau Donés' brother and the director of "Bonito," to get permission to adapt the concept. After receiving approval, Morissette insisted that Pau Donés himself appear in her video. In the "Everything" video, Pau Donés seemingly cuts Morissette's iconic long hair, though she was actually wearing a wig as her hair had already been cut.

The video surprised him greatly with its originality and seemed a fantastic idea for the first music video of the album that Alanis was about to release.

Both Marc Donés and filmmaker Meiert Avis directed "Everything." The video premiered on March 22, 2004, a year after "Bonito" had topped music charts.

She also got excited about the idea, so through the respective record companies, they decided to contact Pau to ask if they could adapt the idea of 'Bonito' for the next video of her song 'Everything'.
