In which we group three videos — from Girlfriends, Mt. Joy and Momma — that might help you smile, just a little bit …

GIRLFRIENDS, “I Thought About You While I Was Taking a Shower”

Seems like every year, usually around summer, there’s a new pop-punk song or three that worms its way into your earholes and won’t leave. Resistance is futile, and besides there are worse things in the relatively insulated world of music, like the existence of Machine Gun Kelly. So Girlfriends — the duo of Travis Mills and Nick Gross — have the cheeky “I Thought About You While I Was Taking a Shower,” from their forthcoming album, “(e)motion sickness.” Mills directs the video, which features a punk rocker, a grandma, a couple and a rainbow of others — where else? — in the shower. Catch Girlfriends on June 21 at the Alibi in Palm Springs (tickets), June 23 at the Constellation Room (tickets) and June 28 at the Teragram Ballroom (tickets). Bring your grandma.

MT. JOY, “Evergreen”

The follow-up to “Lemon Tree” and “Orange Blood,” the new single “Evergreen” showcases the evolution in Mt, Joy’s sound, to be fully revealed on their new album, out June 17. Francis Galluppi directs the video, which stars Creed Bratton (“The Office”). Matt Quinn, the singer of the Philadelphia-bred band calls the song “the shot of tequila on this record,” and the video is a hoot. Bratton’s character tries and fails at many things, so he decides … to start a band, of course. Mt. Joy plays the Palladium on Aug. 5.

MOMMA, “Lucky”

After releasing “Speeding 72” in April, Brooklyn-via-L.A. rockers Momma have another winner from their forthcoming album, “Household Name,” out July 1. Directed by Emma Penrose and Zack Shorrosh, the video for the song — which Etta Friedman says she wrote as a “sentimental love song” during a spate of feeling thanks — riffs on visuals from other artists. “We didn’t want to get too cheesy and literal, so Etta suggested some ideas from the Green Day ‘Walking Contradiction’ video as well as the fun and etherealness of certain Beabadoobee videos,” Penrose says. “In the end, we feel like the video displays how much fun it was to film — everyone involved was a friend.” See Momma on Sept. 24 at the Echo (tickets) and Sept. 25 at the Constellation Room (tickets).
