9. Run For your Life - The Beatles

The lyrics include “I’d rather see you dead… than to be with another man.” Quite possibly the darkest song in their catalog.

9. Run For your Life - The Beatles
10. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer - The Beatles

I’ll take that challenge. How about a song about a boy who murders his girlfriend, his teacher, and a judge with a hammer?

**Songs with awesome or bizarre music videos**

1. Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler

She’s clearly having a nervous breakdown.

**Songs with awesome or bizarre music videos**

1. Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
2. All of the Good Ones Are Taken - Ian Hunter

Awesome video, because it’s a complete story, a comedy in just shy of four minutes. Hunter is a rock star who, despite being surrounded by beautiful women, is more interested in the waitress at a diner. He sends her a tape, she puts it in the toaster, those sorts of things that indicate she’s not interested. But he keeps trying, and it’s hilarious to see his reaction each time. He eventually admits defeat and agrees that “all of the good ones are indeed taken.” Plus, Hunter’s portly butler contributes a killer sax solo.

3. [Don’t Bring Me Down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFBl6g8gtIo) - ELO

Not the official band video, just an awesome dance compilation set to the song.

4. [Der Kommisar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bgiiTxhzM) - Falco

Strange, extremely low-budget video, with Falco pretending to run in front of projected videos of police cars.
