My daughter needs some music videos with fairy tale themes. The only one I could think of (because I don’t watch many music videos) was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Don’t Come Around Here No More. Can the Teeming Millions help me out?
Gwen Stafani’s “Wind it Up” also has an Alice in Wonderland theme.
Green Jelly 's “Three Little Pigs” is one of my favorites.
Steve Perry 's “Oh Sherry” starts out in a fairytale-esque mode.
Rammstein - “Sonne”
Loosely based on Snow White and the seven dwarves. Don’t know how old your daughter is but it’s kinda PG-13.
Adam Ant - Prince Charming
It’s been ages since I’ve seen it, but I remember Joe Jackson’s “Stepping Out” as having something of a Cinderella theme to it.
The song and video “These Dreams” by Heart fits the theme.
In a wood full of princes, freedom is a kiss…
“Don’t Come Around Here No More” is based on Alice in Wonderland, not a fairy tale.
“I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)” by Meat Loaf is based on “Beauty and the Beast.”
“Emotion in Motion” by Ric Ocasek
Spice Girls’ Viva Forever has a (somewhat sad) fairytale story to it.
Radiohead’s “There There” has some fairytale elements.
“Wind It Up” by Gwen Stefani is actually The Sound of Music themed; it’s “What You Waiting For?” that’s Alice in Wonderland themed.
I can’t really think of any at the moment, sorry.
There is the relatively new one from Vanessa Carlton - Nolita Fairytale, where she sees fairytale imagery around moder New York (Like a policeman riding a unicorn).
“Strange Little Girl” by Tori Amos
“Everlong” by The Foo Fighters
Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming!
Otto, I thought the same until I looked up fairy tale.
Alice in Wonderland, IMNSHO, fits the bill.
Bowling for Soup does a cover of “Little Red Riding Hood” (originally by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs).

Spinal Tap’s Stonehenge contains leprechauns.
I don’t know if there’s a theme per se, but Men Without Hats’ “Safety Dance” has everyone running around in Ren Faire type garb.
Shoeless, good call on Steppin Out- one of my all time favs, definite Cinderella theme.
Evanesance has got to have some fairy tale-esque video…
Is that the old one with

Not by the hairs of our chinny chinny chin![/fov]
and at the end Rambo shows up and kills the wolf?
