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

106. That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings

November 21st 2008 22:43

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.

105. Talk Like That - The Presets - Directed by Jonas and Francois

November 21st 2008 22:30

Great clip - psychotic rock chick locked in a cell with just instruments and speakers. She goes into a rock fuelled frenzy of a wanna be star. Directed by french duo Jonas and Francois - this one is going to be big. Here it is

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

97. Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's - Directed by Jay Martin

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.

96. What You Waitin For - Gwen Stefani - Directed by Francis Lawrence

November 20th 2008 11:06

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.

95. Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie - Directed by Anthony Mandler

November 19th 2008 22:58

The lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas has carved out an incredibly successful solo career - Fergie (of Fergalicious fame) hits us this time with a softer ballad rather than the high energy she is known for). Directed by pop music video favourite Anthony Mandler - this clip is beautifully shot and Fergie looks amazing. Hope you enjoy it.

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)

90. L.E.S. Artistes - Santogold - Directed by Nima Nourizadeh

November 16th 2008 00:26

A fantastic clip by Nima Nourizadeh for new music act Santogold. An obvious homage to the film The Holy Mountain. This soulful singer songwriter act has a huge potential. Hope you enjoy this one (I know I certainly did!)

November 16th 2008 00:01
A bright breezy clip for the latest offerent from the music act known as Gnarls Barkley. Directed by Happy, look for the cameo from Justin Timberlake. A trippy, freaky hippy spin out of a clip. Hope you enjoy it.
