Okay everyone, what's your favourite music video?

[Vetinari]

Hrmm ...difficult to say my definitive favourite... But this week's obsession is Pulp so a selection of my fave music videos of theirs. Warning most of it is v.much implying sexual stuff though it is a bit cleaned up for youtube:

Do You Remember The First Time (simple, but effective, and motion sickness inducing! I really want to make a camera-rig like the one they've set up here and I don't even do anything at all related to film...): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPGepgWupTw&feature=kp

Common People (arguably their most well-known song/video though I'm v.amused at the complete removal of a few of the words to make it youtube friendly... not even a replacement - just blanked out entirely, "dance and drink and scr*w because there's nothing else to do!" Apparently "scr*w" is too much for youtube ¬.¬ ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuTMWgOduFM

Disco 2000 (Love the dancing around the bag on the floor! And the comic-style segments. Minor warning lot's of v.heavily implied stuff here): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJS3xnD7Mus

This Is Hardcore (Beautiful video, even now when Lots Of Money is the norm for these things): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXbLyi5wgeg

Bad Cover Version (really cheeky tongue-in-cheek micky-take of the LiveAid video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR5xGHPUEew

(Oh and with hindsight - David Tennant is a massive Jarvis Cocker fanboy - the physical similarities between 10 and Jarvis Cocker O.o )

i don't watch music videos a lot, but Houdini by Foster the People has one of my favorite music videos in the whole world! it shows a lot of insecurity and lack of faith in their industry. only makes sense this is one of my favorite music videos, Foster the People is one of my favorite bands! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GMQLjzVGfw

and by the same bad, Call It What You Want has a pretty strange music video. it's ... fun, in a really FUBAR way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1prhCWO_518

and finally ... i said that Houdini was one of my favorite videos, but Power by Kanye West has by far my ABSOLUTE favorite music video. it's a shame it doesn't have the entire song in it, or even half of the whole song, but it's a masterpiece anyway. i could watch it a thousand times over. good song, too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L53gjP-TtGE

Until I read the lyric you posted I couldn't think what on earth would need to be removed from that - and I'm still amused/amazed that scr*w was too much

I always thought he reminded me of someone, but could never place who - and that's who it was!

[Vetinari]

Yeah it just seems ...stupid considering the music video itself makes it very very obvious what's being said anyway!

(I've been loving this thread so far - it's a brilliant mix of "serious" and amusing stuff)

Edit: In keeping with my current Pulp/Jarvis Cocker obsession... Seriously contemplating buying the soundtrack to the Goblet of Fire (ugh I don't much rate the Harry Potter films ¬.¬) just to get the 3 tracks he wrote for the film.

So whilst not strictly a music video this clip makes me smile, wizard rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tNUAumvfzg

I don't actually watch a ton of music videos. When MTV actually aired them, we didn't have cable TV, so I didn't grow up with them or anything. But I've managed to catch a few and actually bought them on iTunes because I liked them so much.

HAD to get this one, of course. It's just so quirky and WEIRD and the song is catchy. And of course, the theme speaks for itself. I'm sure most BJD fanatics have probably seen this one by now.

Kerli - Walking on Air
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXMeZwO2qZ0

And she has a second one, Tea Party, with some BJDs. I don't like the song quite as much, but the video is still visually stunning.

And Taylor Swift's Love Story. It's an awesome song and the video is gorgeous.

And Sara Bareilles's Gonna Get Over You is just so much FUN (I LOVE the ending) . Also, it's the first song/music video of hers I happened to see and totally made me a big fan.

And finally, I love the music video to Josh Groban's Hidden Away. Beautiful imagery to a stunning song.

The Zero Gravity video is also awesome but has some seizure-inducing light displays in parts.

This has to be here. Lest anyone forget.

Now that that's out of the way, it's hard to choose something, especially if you're not a big watcher of music videos. But obviously, this belongs here.

not a superfave, but this is cool. the guys dress and act like animatronics.
