Casta was also prominently featured in the music video for the Chris Isaak song "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing" in 1999. Through most of the video, Casta was seen in a motel room and sexy lingerie while being watched by Isaak in the next room. There were two versions of the video. VH1 aired the censored version before 9 pm and the uncensored version was aired after the 9 pm watershed. This video was ranked #28 on VH1's 50 Sexiest Video Moments.
