Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Charli XCX makes reference to various films and music stars of the '90s in her new music video for "1999" featuring Troye Sivan.

Pop culture references on display include Charli XCX reenacting scenes from Titanic, a Skechers commercial, American Beauty and The Matrix along with dressing up as Steve Jobs, Rose McGowan, Left Eye from TLC, and as members of the Spice Girls, among others.

Sivan, meanwhile, is seen as members of the Backstreet Boys, Eminem, Marilyn Manson and Justin Timberlake.
