Favourite Music Videos

[MamboGator]

What are some of your favourite music videos?

I always think of "South Side" by Moby and Gwen Stefani. It's a great lampooning of '90s celebrity culture and vanity.

Oh, and I almost forgot "Twisted Transistor" by Korn. When I first saw it I was young and really naive, had never seen what the band members looked like and was totally clueless about rap, so I totally missed the joke and thought those were the actual band members. I can now thankfully say I know who Snoop Dogg is.

I guess the trend is I like music videos where the artists make fun of themselves

i just found this yesterday, but i am very impressed by the single take / reversal thing going on, so cool!!

Praise You by Fatboy Slim - This is just the most incredible piece of counter culture; it was unstaged; the audience/staff had no idea they were in a music video.

The Sweater Song by Weezer - Another 90s classic; this ones a slow burner and kinda subtle, but it just sorta takes the piss out of music videos; its so low effort yet it pulls off so much! (I have no idea how they did that opening shot)

The best music video of all time would have to be virtual insanity

I love this song but never knew the story behind the music video. That's a cool bit of history.

The Sweater Song by Weezer

I've never been a Weezer fan, but you reminded me of "Sweater" by Willow. The whole music video is projected on a screen around the singer and is really cool.

It looks like the walls and camera are moving while anything on the floor is staying in place, or maybe a sliding surface on the floor being dragged around? The way he has to keep his feet moving to stay in one place makes me think it's one of those. Either way the walls definitely look detached from the floor.

On that note, does anyone else confuse Jamiroquai with Jordy Birch? They don't look or sound alike but their names are just similar enough that I always mix them up.

I really like Daft Punk's Fresh, the dog is such a great self-insert character.

I love me some nerdcore, and these two videos by The Stupendium, for Five Nights At Freddy's Security Breach and Poppy's Playtime respectively, are so fun. Major earworms too!
