If you can find the video on YouTube or a similar site (GoogleVideo?), that’s good, but a linked video is not required. My favorite videos are (a lot of these are NSFW): UNKLE - [Eye For an Eye](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRbrJHUrIqk) Aphex Twin - [Come to Daddy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Az_7U0-cK0) The Prodigy - [Smack My Bitch Up](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwnSXH4sdAc) Fatboy Slim - [Ya Mama](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mawbcWPnwxw) (They call it “Push the Tempo” on YouTube but that’s not the title) Bjork - [Bachelorette](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYIgaXJ0JVg&mode=related&search=) Those are the only ones I can think of now so there may be more… ---

“Weird Al” Yankovic - [Fat](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFMvBH1edtU) Not only for being a dead-on clone/parody of Michael Jackson’s “Bad” music video, but also because Al filmed it on the same subway set Jackson used. Booyah! 😃 ---

[QUOTE=El Perro Fumando] Fatboy Slim - [Weapon of Choice](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WW8flwpH-Q) [/QUOTE] That’s one of my favourites too. I also like [All in my head](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ28lckuwqM) by Kosheen, but I’m not sure why. ---

Man, there were a lot of great ones when MTV used to show videos. The crappy video quality on Youtube doesn’t do them justice.

I think we did this not so long ago… Anyway, Madonna - [Like A Prayer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOA1RzPrpiE) Madonna - [Frozen](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EAz4Rh75bY) Röyksopp - [What Else Is There](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghTgmzvLy9E) Sophie Ellis-Bextor - [Murder On The Dance Floor](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flnDa_Pw2do) Sophie Ellis-Bextor - [Music Gets The Best Of Me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6eWsdRZ14A) Björk - [It’s Oh So Quiet](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Z1MpcyqQU) Björk - [All Is Full Of Love](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQH4AdOg2MU) Shakespeare’s Sister - [Stay](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjgkNW10SR0) Utada Hikaru - [Keep Tryin’](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BTElyR2g78) Sinead O’Connor - [Nothing Compares To U](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lnzNSIY5Rw) Koda Kumi - [Cutie Honey](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dVe08Cylb8) Blondie - [Rapture](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOQES2WnnlY) Eurythmics - [Love Is A Stranger](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6mH7oyew0w) Buggles - [Video Killed the Radio Star](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmjuGIVyP4Q) Michael Jackson - [Thriller](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4-IlviV8Ao) And now I’ve reached a mental block, as I can’t seem to think of any more.

Pearl Jam’s [Do The Evolution](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if2jP0Pl9C8) An absolutely spectacular video. It should scare you. ---

Two by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers [Don’t Come Around Here No More](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BorG9TpPFHc) - really much more creepy than I remembered [You Got Lucky](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_KtvgYr6TE) - best video ever made Back from an era wen a “music video” was more than just a film of the band playing on stage. In fact, other than 15 seconds of a guitar solo, we don’t see anyone in the band touching an instrument in either film. ---

I don’t mind doing this again, as I wasn’t signed up yet last time. I’ve always liked the creepy Spitting Image puppets in [Land of Confusion](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56QSkTnTTDg) by Genesis. Another favorite is the (previously mentioned) Sledgehammer video, because of the work Aardman (Wallace & Gromit) Animation did in it. I also have very fond memories of Susanna Hoffs’ eyes in [Walk Like an Egyptian](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdRaLuKhobU) by the Bangles, though I don’t much care about the rest of the video. ---

Ruh-oh. Looks like **Clockwork** ’s double posting. Pat Benatar - [Love Is A Battlefield](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qVhXFU_on8) The Pinker Tones - [Karma Hunters](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gsfxlWk4Ic) Cyndi Lauper - [The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAcDWaGH5hM) Culture Club - [Karma Chameleon](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Bp6KMyrYs) Actually… that last one really isn’t as good as I remember it being. :-\
