Music Videos

[MisterSaturnine]

So, I've found myself stumbling on a lot of very good music videos lately, so I thought--"Hey, if you're enjoying these, why not ask the knowledgeable and interesting people in the playground if they know any good ones?"

I'm expecting either no responses or Never Gonna Give You Up, but hey, worth a shot, eh?

I'll put three I think are really good. The first two are by Ludo, an artist I've discovered recently and love, and the third one you've probably at least heard the music to.

Love me Dead:
"You're awful, I love you!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCU1JYmGxcA)

I Can Watch Good Will Hunting by Myself:
"I've moved on, you know? I'm happy now. Well, happy in a crying sort of way." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxRCDmHwlEQ)

Heart Shaped Box:
"Forever in debt to your priceless advice." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK7Ai9dWrRQ)

[Jack Squat]

In fairness, just about every video they ever made would probably qualify


Muse:
Knights of Cydonia (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jV1bRfLHA3A)
I don't even like the song all that much, but as far as vids go this takes some beating

[mockingbyrd7]

Fraud, that music video for "Savin' Me" is incredible. I demand that you un-cross it off. :smallbiggrin:

[The Extinguisher]

This is one of my favourites

Travel is Dangerous - Mogwai (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tuGrEynG68)

[Smeik]

I'm always very fond of the videos of the german "Punk" band Die Ärzte. Even if you don't understand german, they're still wort watching
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfQoVWugIiA
Lied vom Scheitern - Die Ärzte (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuueLWWA-0U)

Unrockbar - Die Ärzte (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtsLMxIOt1A)

Yoko Ono - Die Ärzte (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Q80kuHa2Y)

Although, other german punk bands also know how to do good videos:

Kein Alkohol (Ist auch keine Lösung) - Die Toten Hosen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGOtethL28w)

Hello Joe - Beatsteaks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfQoVWugIiA)

Cut off the top - Beatsteaks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CesGtvOoWwk&feature=related)

[Moff Chumley]

PORK AND BEANS-WHEEZER

Aka, a crash course in the history of the internet. :smallbiggrin:

[Mx.Silver]

PORK AND BEANS-WHEEZER

Aka, a crash course in the history of the internet. :smallbiggrin:

Actually, it's more a crash course in YouTube. If it were the internet there'd be a lot more stupid internet memes.

[Joran]

Fat Boy Slim - Weapon of Choice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMZwZiU0kKs)

Dancing Christopher Walken makes everything good.

[Ashtar]

German again, great clip. Weird song on 3 letter symbols. I love it

DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER - MFG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jvX_yMxc-8)

[Gaelbert]

Empty Walls by Serj Tankian (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZSKvSz1roQ)

Hang the Bastard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Q9ZEdOLSE)
Note- repeated use of the word "bastard."

[Smeik]

German again, great clip. Weird song on 3 letter symbols. I love it

DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER - MFG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jvX_yMxc-8)

now that you mention them... they've made more than one good video:

Geboren - Die fantastischen Vier (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F6tOTkP_mg&feature=related)

Ernten was wir säen - Die fantastischen Vier (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k96XJqIceDw&feature=related)

And afew more I thought of and were reminded of by searching for the videos above:

An Tagen wie Diesen - Fettes Brot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF8EsHLAj_Q) (don't know why, but this song, especially combined with this video always manages to creep me out.)

oh and KIZ. Videos that are already politically incorrect but filled with so many details and allusions it is hard to find hthem all, paired with songs that are even more incorrect, insult everyone on a very high level, as well as on the lowest level at the same time. I like that band.

Geld Essen - KIZ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiZ4CPGVBkY&feature=related)

Hölle - KIZ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkLQYmNtduc&feature=related)

[Mr. Mud]

Santeria - Sublime

OH, And I think it was...

Knights of Cydonia's music video that really could've been a movie.

[Gaelbert]

My Hands Are Bananas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO10s_HK6d0)

[GrassyGnoll]

Eels- Last Stop This Town (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8hyCWH1Ww0)
Gene therapy does not work that way!

Aquabats- Fashion Zombies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4tw6vBbwVY)
Obligatory

I Monster- Hey Mrs. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPwZxJWsfdg&feature=related)
"Who is She" is also good in a funky British trance fashion

Molotov- Yofo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZnuaH-njjU)
Cute, but mostly to soften the blow of...

Molotov- Frijolero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcwaDYc1IWY)
this. A lampooning of borderside tensions, prepare to be offended.

[Agamid]

One of my favourites (it's not G-rated though)
Pagan Poetry - Bjork (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=LEddbXJF9EA)

Not my fav NIN song, but my favourite clip of Trent's (also not G-rated)
Closer - NIN (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=QWncI51ggH8)
Really annoyed that they took down the directors cut of this...

Makes me happy inside
I Don't Remember - Powderfinger (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=I3ziiIJ7o4Q)

And of course:
Close to you - The Cure (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=p3hdytcAUjI)

... could go on and on and on for ages... i have so many favourite clips
