Okay everyone, what's your favourite music video?

I've posted a thread about favourite songs, and while I enjoy my audio porn, I also enjoy the often-times amazing music videos that come with them! Just for clarification, this doesn't have to be an absolute favourite song, just a music video you really like, and you can list more than one (as many as you'd like!). So, tell me you guys, what catches your eye?

I guess I'll start!

I would be remiss if I didn't include Peter Gabriel's groundbreaking for-its-time "Sledgehammer" video. Dancing raw chickens. That is all I have to say.

And bringing us up into this decade ( ;) ), believe it or not, the newest collaboration between Absolut Vodka and the group Swedish House Mafia came up with a rather interesting music video for an alcoholic beverage. In a futuristic take on dog racing, the members of the band each control a mechanical greyhound that they power with what looks vaguely like holographic DJ mixers in an undisclosed location while the video brings us to a stark desert like area where fans in colour coordinated futuristic fashion have come to watch the race. The prize is...you guessed it, Absolut. Still, I give credit where it's due, for being a product-placement collaboration, it's one of the most unobtrusive I've seen, and I can't deny the video itself is a thrilling, high quality production. :D

Trethowan OH. MY. GOD. I hurt from laughing so hard!!!!!! :lol: "My bed is made of gypsy sluts, craftmatic charged me extra for that!" Oh man, I noticed they did "Love is a Battlefield" too. I gotta watch it. :lol:

Alopecia no Hime I think everyone's a little infected with the "Let it Go" syndrome. ;)

Also, I looked up the second one you mentioned, and OH WOW. Haha, Jpop and Kpop seem to always have the best, most outrageous videos. The song itself is gorgeous. I hear so many different cultural influences in this one song from 70's rock to Bollywood songs to African tribal all hidden under the pop/rock of the song. Ahhh, this is why I love threads like this, new songs and videos and find and love!!!

Magia is an amazing song I listen to it a lot...Almost as much as Let it Go. XD The anime Magia's used as a battle/ending theme for Madoka Magica is really amazing too.

it's from the guys that bring the Corridor Digital movies, and their use of effects, and the western story, is cool.

or She Wolf by David Guetta.

I'm afraid my list of music videos would date back to when MTV and VH1 actually had music videos...... :lol:

While this song makes me ball my eyes out every time I hear it, it's probably my favorite right now. It's a really beautiful, happy song though. It's just really personal to me.

Music videos? They still make those?
Not necessarily favorites but good for a chuckle.
