'Pimps Don't Cry' is the newest hit from Funny or Die, and features Eva Mendes and Cee-Lo singing and rapping about why pimps are just so tough. The song is largely to hype up 'The Other Guys,' a new movie featuring Eva Mendes and Will Ferrell.

The song itself is pretty good, but the video is even better. The video for 'Pimps Don't Cry' is very reminiscent of a James Bond opening sequence. There are silhouettes of naked girls and funky colors, which looks exactly like 007's style.
