Sure, it’s an ad. But it’s also a great and creative minute and a half music video.

Eric Wareheim (of the “Tim and Eric Awesome Show”) made a couple of visually stunning videos for the band “Major Lazer”

Unfortunately, these are pretty NSFW so I’ll spoiler them. Great videos though.

I love the Cleary and Harding verson of “We No Speak Americano” and Hold Your Horses’ “Seventy Million.”

I also kind of like the Nails’ “88 Lines about 44 Women” video, which synchs up to one of those “Mondo Cane” sequels from the 60s.

Speaking of animation, I’ve always liked the video to [Don’t Answer Me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALC7kt6iUHY) by Alan Parsons Project.

Not exactly a music video, but the opening of [The Grateful Dead Movie](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR7prgyEqZM) is a pretty cool psychedelic cartoon.

The most disturbing music video I’ve seen in awhile, Weird Al’s “Perform This Way” -
