Music Videos - November 2008

117. Icky Thump - The White Stripes - directed by Jack White and the Malloy brothers

November 30th 2008 11:15

Shot in Nashville, Tennessee though it is set in Mexico (to the point where the lyrics have mexican spanish subtitles). Co directed by Jack White and the Malloy brothers is uses the red and white colour motif that has defined the band's look. The song is catchy and out and out rock and roll (Meg looks gorgeous as ever) Enjoy

116. Papa Don't Preach - Madonna - Directed by James Foley

November 30th 2008 11:03

This music video and song caused enormous controversy at the time of its release - Madonna singing from the point of view of a young woman who was not married and was pregnant and deciding to keep the child - asking not for her father to give her a lecture but to support her through it. The clip is beautifully made and the narrative of the song is really clear in the visuals. It is shot by long time Scorsese cameraman Michael Ballhaus and the director James Foley has gone onto a successful career as a feature film director (including the outstanding Glengarry Glen Ross). A lovely piece of film making that still holds up (and I don't think Madonna ever looked as amazing as she does in this clip) - special mention to lead actor Danny Aiello (who has had a magnificent career including Spike Lee's amazing film on race in New York - Do The Right Thing) who plays Madonna's father - with believable sincerity Enjoy

115. Foundations - Kate Nash - Directed by Kinga Burza

November 29th 2008 11:33

Another great clip by Kinga Burza featuring the amazing talent of Kate Nash - the clip starts with Nash playing a card game, turning in bed, eating lemons ("you've said I must eat so many lemons, because I am so bitter"), sitting on a staircase, arm wrestling, decorating a cake and sitting in her lounge. The video ends as she packs her suitcase and walks out of the house. Great use of colour and objects - hope you enjoy

114. Dancing In The Street - David Bowie and Mick Jagger - Directed by David Mallet

November 29th 2008 11:22

This cover of the 1960's hit Martha and the Vandellas song was done for charity as part of the Live Aid show of 1985. Initially they were going to perform the duet with the two in different cities but the half second delay on the satellite meant that they had to make a music video instead. Two of the biggest names in music (both around from the 1960's) teaming together - it's part curiosity and part fun - enjoy

113. Sweet Child O Mine - Guns N Roses -

November 25th 2008 03:03

One of the great guitar riffs of all time apparently started as a joke between guitarist slash and the drummer Steve Adler. A little finger exercise that Slash used to warm up - then bass plaver Izzy added some chords and hey presto. A simple clip but the song really doesn't need any flashy video work to carry it off. It's just the band - but a rock and roll gold star moment. Enjoy

112. Superstar - Lupe Fiasco ft Matthew Santos- Directed by Hype Williams

November 25th 2008 02:25

This track by rapper Lupe Fiasco featuring Matthew Santos is by renowned Music Video director Hype Williams. It involves two characters from a previous Lupe Fiasco clip - the cool and the streets. The clip mocks the self absorbed over the top all about them clips of many rap stars. Enjoy

This amazing dark beautiful clip features the lead singer Tom Yorke in stop motion animation going around the forest at night where weird and wonderful things are happening. There is so much imagination in this clip and it just meshes perfectly with the themes, tone and mood of the song. Great idea well executed. Emjoy

110. U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer

November 22nd 2008 21:55

Yes, I had to include it because of it's impact in the whole rap R & B world - MC Hammer made the phrases U Can't Touch This and Hammertime part of everyday language in this epic rap song about how good he was. Of course it all starts with the sample from Rick James masterful funk number SuperFreak. There is much to be made of this clip - one of the original booty shaking clips, that oversize parachute pants, the bizarre little dance thing has does. But my favourite moment is about four minute in as he sings the lyrics "I've toured around the world from London to Bombay" - there is a 3 second slo mo shot of him jumping backwards wearing only his underwear and a bowler hat - it ALWAYS cracks me up. Enjoy

109. Like a Prayer - Madonna - Directed by Mary Lambert

November 22nd 2008 21:43

Great song with an interesting clip. Madonna's contribution to the race debate in America was this clip which features a black man coming to her aid during an assault and then being the one arrested. There is all kinds of religious iconography, the burning KKK cross, the black Jesus with the gospel choir and the compelling little narrative going through it makes it compelling viewing - watch for cameo from soul diva Chaka Khan. Enjoy

108. If Everyone Cared - Nikelback - Directed by Dori Oskowitz

November 21st 2008 23:10

A great example of a social conscience type of song - with Nikelbck speaking out against the injustices of the world. The clip by Dori Oskowitz is the band in the studio intercut with a history lesson about some of the terrible things that have taken place over the past 50 years including the civil rights fight in the US and the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela. A great video and one that opens up the issue of human rights to a whole new generation well done - enjoy!

107. Lips Of An Angel - Hinder - Directed by Nigel Dick

November 21st 2008 22:53


Oklahoma rockers Hinder hit the charts with this soft power ballad. The clip is a stock standard band playing by candlelight - but it is done particularly well by veteran music video director Nigel Dick (the man responsible for both Oasis' Wonderwall and Britney Spears Hit Me One More Time). Hope you enjoy.

Manchester Indie pop group the Ting Tings have made three different clips for this song and there are numerous professionally recorded live versions floating around as well. This one is a great looking video and was made after the success of their first "hey micky" rip off type. Enjoy.

November 21st 2008 10:31

Indie Hip Hoppers The Gym Class Heroes have two videos for this song. I have gone with the Alan Ferguson clip which is a more literal interpretation of the song. Starting with a dancing cupid the clip features stump gettting shot with cupid's arrow. Look for cameo by his real life girl friend the gorgeous pop diva of the moment - Katy Perry. Enjoy

102. Let Forever Be - Chemical Brothers - Directed by Michel Gondry

November 21st 2008 06:58

OK. This would be in my top 5 music videos of all time and would be close to my favourite all time clip. Director Michel Gondry has the best catalog of work of any music video director going around and this one tops them all. It is almost too difficult to describe - the use of film and video is strange but the incredible transitions between the two makes it something to behold. An awesome song with a killer vocal track by Oasis' Noel Gallagher - this is one you need to watch a few times to get what's going on - and after a few hundred viewing you still won't know exactly how it was made. Pure Genius.

101. This Is Why I'm Hot - Mims - Directed by Dale Restighini

November 21st 2008 06:45

Rapper Mims had a big hit last year with this song explaining just why he is hot. Directed by hip hop stalwart Dale Restighini the clip for the song uses high contrast washed out shots coupled together with very fast flashy cutting - an interesting exercise in music video making and the result is quite striking as watchable. Hope you enjoy.

100. Rabbit In Your Headlights - UNKLE ft Thom Yorke - Direct by Jonathan Glazer

November 20th 2008 12:08
For my 100th posting on this blog I thought I would choose the video clip voted by Rolling Stone Magazine as the #1 clip of all time (that's their choice not mine - which I will put up soon). It is made by the brilliant Jonathan Glazer who made the Virtual Insanity clip for Jamiroquoi and has gone on to direct the feature film Sexy Beast. The stark and beautiful surrealism of this clip is matched by its though provoking imagery. Starring Dennis Lavant as the muttering man. The final scene, the final moment with it's almost religious overtones as a man stands up to the pressures of life is both haunting and memorable. A must see

98. Makes Me Wonder - Maroon 5 - Directed by John Hillcoat

November 20th 2008 11:32

This sleek and sexy clip for LA Rockers Maroon 5 comes from Australian director John Hillcoat (The Proposition). Shot in an airport - but done up to look like a futuristic airport cocktail lounge. The song is about love and can also be read about the state of American politics. Something different but the end result is impressive. Here it is

November 20th 2008 11:22

Director Jay Martin choses to use split screen and does it quite brilliantly for this clip for the Plain White T's song Hey There Delilah. It has a real retro 1970's feel to it and is strikingly shot. One of my favourite clips of 2007 and it has had over 34 million hits at the time of this posting. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

This video sort of stars like real life - with Stefani on the phone to her manager talking about the prospects of her own solo career post 'No Doubt'. It then goes into this incredible fantasy land based on Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The clip is directed by Francis Lawrence who went on to direct the 2008 hit film I am legend with Will Smith. Enjoy.

94. November Rain - Guns N' Roses - Directed by Andrew Morahan

November 19th 2008 22:48
An epic clip for an epic song.This nine minute extravaganza from directed Andrew Morahan (of Highlander II and The Sorcerer fame) features the filmed wedding of Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose to his then girlfriend Stephanie Seymour. The lavish production values, and outrageous swirling helicopter shots during guitarist Slash's bit solo make for one of the memorable music videos ever (the most requested on MTV) and a truly fitting tribute to the over the top excesses of the late eighties/early nineties (the song and clip came out in 1992). So here it is in all of it's nine minute glory - enjoy.

93. I Know What You Want - Busta Rhymes ft. Mariah Carey - Directed by Chris Robinson

November 18th 2008 22:25

This song and video brings together a fairly unlikely partnership. The single's video, directed by Chris Robinson, features Busta Rhymes, the Flipmode Squad, and Carey lounging around an expensive mansion as they debate whether they "know what they want". Carey advertises her own brand of jewelry, Automatic Princess. I guess this is the way of music videos with alot more product tie in (a bit like Rihanna's Umbrella song cosmetics deal). Anyway here is I know want you want. Enjoy.

92. Call On Me -Eric Prydz - Directed by Huse Monfaradi

November 18th 2008 22:09


Definitely one for the guys - Swedish DJ made this annoyingly catchy tune using a sample from Steve Winwood's song Valerie - Winwood re-recorded the lyrics so they would now be call on me. The clip by Huse Monfaradi features very scantily clad women in gym doing an aerobic routine that borders on soft porn. Naturally there is one lucky guy in the room also working up a sweat. There are references to films but really this clip is just an excuse to watch women with not much on jump around. To that end it succeeds brilliantly. Hope you enjoy (which will be easy for the guys)

86. Sky's The Limit - Notorious B.I.G. Ft. Puff Daddy - Directed by Spike Jonze

November 15th 2008 23:14

How do you do a music video when the star performer is dead?? The brilliant Spike Jonze overcame this problem by using kids to portray the fast hard living lifestyle of dead rap star Notorious B.I.G. - the result is surreal but also has a kind of heart to it. The kids are like miniature versions of the stars and entourage they play and put an innocence back into what can be a violent world. It also works beautifully with the song's title and meaning behind the sky being the limit. Enjoy.

November 15th 2008 02:42

Another beautifully made clip to a great song. The lead singer of Travis - Francis Healy is hunted down by children in this clip. They use everything from sticks and stone to arrows to a world war 2 bomber. John Hardwick's smart direction and use of slow motion makes it fit in with the beauty of the song. There are love allusions to Hitchcock's North by Northwest and Kubrick's The Shining. Music video film making at its best. Enjoy

A brilliantly simple but effective clip by swedish music video director Jonas Akerlund (of u2 Beautiful day fame). The simple close up of the eye matches the gentle majesty of Moby's hit Porcelain. The song and image work quite beautifully together and the end result is haunting. A great collaboration for a worthy result. Hope you enjoy it.

Pretty much your atypical rapper video with the candy shop being a place to find scantily clad booty shaking women. The music video was directed by Jessy Terrero and features Olivia as the lead dancer and several models including Chessika Cartwright (as a dominatrix), "Lyric" (as a nurse), and Erica Mena (as the girl in bed). It also features cameo appearances from Lil Scrappy and G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Young Buck. I don't who finds this stuff fresh anymore but you have to hand it to fiddy - he has come a long way. Enjoy.

80. SOS - Jonas Brothers

November 14th 2008 21:53

This is sugar saccharine sweet pop from a boy band trying to be this decades Hanson. Looking like they stepped off the set of High School Musical these guys (and their management) are trying to ride that Disney Miley Cyrus pony to wealth through kids pocket money. Its an evil thing and should be avoided. It was supposedly shot on a haunted ship - I just wish the ghost of Jimi Hendrix would come along and beat some sense into them -Mind you they have 47 million hits on youtube. here it is

79. Apologize - Timbaland (feat. One Republic) - Directed by Robert Hales

November 14th 2008 21:38

Uber producer Timbaland (the man who made Justin Timberlake's career) teamed up with the band One Republic and re-mixed their song Apologize written by the band's front man Ryan Tedder. The result was great musically. Several clips exist for this song but this is the most viewed version by director Robert Hales (who has done work for Jet and Gnarls Barkley). The use of close up imagery is stunning and your eyes remain fixed on the screen. It's a great clip. Here it is - enjoy

November 14th 2008 03:28

Sensational clip for the U2 song that showed their ability to move with the times. Shot at Charles De Galle airport in Paris by Swedish music video whiz Jonas Akerlund it pushes boundaries and gets some amazing shots in. Enjoy it

77. Teardrops on my Guitar - Taylor Swift - Directed by Trey Fanjoy

November 14th 2008 03:21


This clip is set in a Nashville school and features Taylor Swift in love with some guy who's in love with someone else. Ahhh it hurts so much she should write a song about it (pass the tissues to clean up the guitar). Here it is

76. Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance - Directed by Samuel Bayer

November 14th 2008 03:10

Again, I am not a big fan of "emo" rock in general and "emo" rockers My Chmical Romance in particular but this is a catchy little song and it does have a wonderful video clip by the legendary Samuel Bayer (Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit). Great use of colour - it is like he fully gets what the song is about. - Enjoy

75. Don't Speak - No Doubt - Directed by Jeremy Plumb

November 14th 2008 02:57

A great clip and the song that made No Doubt famous. Don't Speak was off their tragic kingdom album. The clip by Minnieapolis film maker Jeremy Plumb shoes the band in a state of tension as the other band mates gets annoyed that Gwen Stefani is the centre of attention. It starts with an interesting shot of the bass plater Tony Kanal as some kind of God pic king a rotten fruit of a tree. Definitely a great clip - enjoy!

73. Ride - The Vines - Directed by Michel Gondry

November 9th 2008 09:09

Another video from the man most credit with lifting the humble music video into an art form. French visual master Michel Gondry takes a catchy tune from Australian retro rockers The Vines and turns it into pure magic with the band playing in an empty hall then filling the hall with dozens of different looking bands all playing the same tune. The drum break moment is pure Gondry. I hope you really enjoy this one!

72. Everybody Hurts - REM - Directed by Jake Scott

November 8th 2008 03:39

This is the clip that Simple Plan copied - the original for REM's Everybody Hurts is directed by Jake Scott (son of Ridley Scott). The string arrangement for the song is by legendary Led Zepplin bass player John Paul Jones. The song taps into the same angst that the emo crowd does but offers hope and a reason to keep on going. A wonderful clip for a beautiful song. Enjoy

71. Welcome to my life - Simple Plan

November 8th 2008 03:20

Another song about teen angst from another crappy emo group. On first viewing the clip is ok but then you realise that it has been plagerized from REM's fantastic clip for the beautiful song Everybody Hurt's from their Automatic for the People album. Here is the simple plan clip

70. I'm not OK - My Chemcial Romance - directed by Greg Kaplan

November 8th 2008 03:11

Ok here's one for the emo set. It's not my particular cup of tea but I know there are plenty out there who go in for it. Truth be known it's not a bad clip by director Greg Kaplan - who does the parody of the movie trailer quite well. Here it is

69. Testify - Common - Anthony Mandler

November 7th 2008 12:28

Award winning clip for rapper Common - a wonderful example of the "mini movie" style clip that michael jackson so perfected. Common has grown into one of the more reliable stars of the rap world. Enjoy this clip!

68. Karma Police - Radiohead - Directed by Jonathan Glazer

November 7th 2008 08:40

Great clip and great song by one of the great bands on the planet - English rockers Radiohead. From their momentally successful OK Computer album this song drenched in irony and Thom Yorke's soaring vocal is one of the big moments on the album. The clip by English director Jonathon Glazer keeps the tone and the message of the song in the eerie night scene of the clip. Enjoy!

66. Yes We Can - Will I Am - Directed by Jesse Dylan

November 7th 2008 08:06

With the victory of Barack Obama I thought I'd take a look at a video that shows that music video can do more than just entertain. This video seen by more than 10 million people uses the soaring inspiring words of Obama spoken and sung simultaneously by celebrities who endorse. An interesting point - the film clip's director Jesse Dylan is the son of folk singing legend Bob Dylan. Enjoy this clip that will go down in history with the famous election it accompanied.
