Video clips that are different, or interesting or your personal favourite - lets see 'em! I don't just mean music that you like, but the actual VIDEOs themselves.
Allow me to kick this gig off ...
Call On Me by Eric Prydz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-2iwGeZ2O4
I never knew an aerobics session could be so damned sexy! I mean geeez!
This is a good example of where the videoclip is a better piece of work than the song itself (which I guess is just mainstream crap). The lead dancer is Australian Deanne Berry.
Here It Goes Again by Ok Go
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5zWaTEVkI
4 guys, 6 treadmills and some clever choreography - again probably a good example where the video clip is better than the song, but check it out!
Darth Metal by Anchorhead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCgQiW2gLhk
This is what happens when you cross Star Wars music with death metal haha, its an amusing clip and actually a very good performance, check it out for a laugh even if you don't like metal - the guitarists are wearing Bounty Hunter/Stormtrooper helmets (geez it'd get hot in those, not to mention bad vision!) so jamming that way for 14 minutes couldnt be easy. My fave part starts 6:20 into it :smile:
Money For Nothing by Dire Straits
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNaKWXqXkhw
I just had to include this - 3D computer graphics in music videos in 1984!? Yup! See how CGI was over 20 years ago
Twisted by Wayne G
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuKEKZo302A
I always liked the song but the music video is pretty weird... mostly revolving around the shit that goes on in nightclub toilets haha
Voodoo People by The Prodigy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fz85FE0KtQ
A classic mainstream techno song when it came out but I always loved watching the video clip for it .... voodoo x jungle x witchdoctor = strange!
Mother North by Satyricon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV8LpUEdpBI
How could I not include a black metal video here!?
Black metal is an extreme metal subgenre characterised by heavy distorted, often high-pitch shrieking vocals, fast drums and unconventional song structures. Visually it's quite different from other forms of metal in that the band members usually wear corpsepaint on their faces and often wear leather, spikes, armor and weaponry, and that makes their video clips often uhh... interesting to say the least :smile:
I was contemplating including Kokomo by the Beach Boys but in the end opted not to.
