220. Informer - Snow

February 17th 2009 02:39

Informer Snow
Snow Informer


This awful song comes from white Toronto based reggae rap artist Darren O'Brien performing under the name of Snow. Written while in Jail on an assault charge it became a massive one off hit for Snow. It features very fast near indistinguishable lyrics. It was produced by DJ Shan who does a cameo rap on it. It is a very average clip but should bring back memories for anyone who followed the charts along with a feeling of 'What were we thinking???' Enjoy

214. Rock Me Amadeus - Falco

January 25th 2009 23:28
Rock Me Amadeus Flaco
Falco Rock Me Amadeus


Johann Holzel a.k.a Falco was probably more successful in his native Austria in terms of longevity but there was this one moment where he had the attention of the whole world. Following on the Academy Award success of Milos Foreman's film of Peter Schaffer's play Amadeus, Falco released this electro pop classic with a crazy video incorporating both modern and old world Austrian design. The song is annoyingly memorable, with the rap parts done in a mxture of German and English and the familiar chorus "Rock Me Amadeus" done just like that.It just doesn't make sense but hey that was the eighties - enjoy

She Drives Me Crazy Fine Young Cannibals
Fine Young Cannibals She Drives Me Crazy


A great quirky clip from the eighties and English rock pop outfit - The Fine Young Cannibals. Directed by Pedro Romhanyi. It was nominated for best video in the 1989 MTV video awards. Features some crazy dancing a guy with a TV for a head and definitely inspired the HotChip - Ready for the Floor video (which can also be found on this site. A fun clip - Enjoy

210. If I were a Boy - Beyonce Knowles - Directed by Jake Nava

January 23rd 2009 08:12
Beyonce If I Were A Boy
If I were a Boy Beyonce


Fresh from her starring role at the Obama Inauguration here's Beyonce Knowles and a big hit from last year - If I were a Boy. Directed by her main collaborator on film Jake Nava the video deals with the role reversal hinted at in the song. Beyonce and her partner swap roles and she goes out drinking with the guys and hanging out with his attractive work mate (they happen to be cops). Beyonce gets sprung canding with her attractive workmate but reality is restored and it is Beyonce who has been cheated on. Shot in Black and White which seems to suit her (as Jake Nava used on her next big hit Single Ladies - also on this site). Enjoy

209. Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack - Directed by Baillie Walsh

January 18th 2009 22:10
Unfinished Sympathy Massive Attack
Massive Attack Unfinished Sympathy


One of my favourite clips from British electronic outfit - Massive Attack. The song is breath taking in its sound and scope, it has an epic feel to it that comes from the combination of heavy almost classical string line and a relentless urban thumping beat.

Baillie Walsh's music video for the song matches its intensity visually. It is one of the first clips to be shot in one take with no edits. It follows the guest singer for the track (the incomparable Shara Nelson) as she sings the track walking down a Los Angeles street. The camera tracks her as she passes bikies, junkies, homeless people and others in a down trodden part of the city. There are also cameos from the members of the band (Robert 3D Del Naja, Grant Marshall and Andrew Vowles). A work of art that has been admired and endlessly copied since its release in 1991 on the ground breaking Blue Lines album. Enjoy.

208. Would I Lie To You - Eurythmics

January 16th 2009 23:53
Eurythmics Would I Lie To You
Would I Lie To You Eurythmics


An absolute killer track from brilliant British duo the Eurythmics. This song has an incredible blues and roots feel to it (hence the majority of people in the clip are black) and has that fierce gospel growl that Annie Lennox brings. The clip fits the song like a glove and has a narrative of Lennox's boyfriend having an argument with her before she goes on to perform. He then returns to continue it while shes on stage and the audience kick him out. Its a good clip to a truly great song - I know you'll enjoy this one.

207. I Hate This Part - Pussycat Dolls

January 16th 2009 22:43
I hate this part pussycat dolls
Pussycat Dolls I hate this part


The latest song from the Pussycat Dolls is this power ballad - I Hate This Part. It is a simple clip with lead singer Nicole Scherzinger playing the piano in the middle of nowhere while other band members have inconvenient moments (like a car breaking down etc) effecting them. Sure to be a hit.

206. Hello - Lionel Ritchie

January 10th 2009 08:14
Hello Lionel Ritchie
Lionel Ritchie Hello


One of the more disturbing clips around from the 1980's. Lionel Ritchie plays a music teacher at a college where he sings about his unrequited love for a blind arts student. He does this as he stalks her around the campus. Until a moment in a sculpting class where he discovers she has similar feeling for him to the point where she has created a likeness of him in clay.

Hello Lionel Ritchie
Lionel Ritchie Hello


It is truly an unsettling moment in an unsettling clip - Apparently the clip is based on a never made screenplay called 'Spaldeen Summers". The clip also serves to remind us exactly why Nicole Ritchie is famous and that Lionel once was popular in his own right (must have been the moustache) - Enjoy

205. How Soon Is Now - The Smiths

January 10th 2009 03:12
How Soon Is Now The Smiths
The Smiths How Soon Is Now


Great song by one of the great bands of the 1980's. The Smiths magic comes from Morrissey's bizarre voice and off beat lyrics and the amazing guitar of Johnny Marr - truly one of the most underated musicians and one who wasn't afraid to experiment and find new ways of doing things. This track is famous for a strange new oscillating guitar sound which Marr described for Giutar player magazine "The vibrato sound is fucking incredible, and it took a long time. I put down the rhythm track on an Epiphone Casino through a Fender Twin Reverb without vibrato. Then we played the track back through four old Twins, one on each side. We had to keep all the amps vibrating in time to the track and each other, so we had to keep stopping and starting the track, recording it in 10-second bursts... We did it in three passes through a harmonizer, set to some weird interval, like a sixth. There was a different harmonization for each pass. For the line in harmonics, I retuned the guitar so that I could play it all at the 12th fret with natural harmonics. It's doubled several times"

The clip was released without the band's knowledge or permission by the record company - they hated it but it stands up and works with the song.

Anyway here it is in all it's glory - enjoy

204. Freedom 90 - George Michael - David Fincher

January 7th 2009 09:59
Freedom 90 George Michael
George Michael Freedom 90


Long before he embarked on his successful feature film career (which now includes se7en, fightclub and the Curious Case Of Benjamin Button), David Fincher was one of the people defining the form of music videos. He had a golden period in the early 90's where he made several clips for Madonna (including the amazing Vogue video) and this one for George Michael. George was really trying to invent himself during this time and did so by a) not appearing in the clip and b) getting some of the sexiest models in the world to mouth the words while being amazingly shot by David Fincher. One of the more sensual video clips ever made - featuring Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford, Todo Segalla and Scott Benoit. It also featured the destruction of various symbols of Michael's past, including the famous guitar, jukebox, and leather jacket of the Faith era. Enjoy (plenty of eye candy for everyone!)

202. Sweetest Thing - U2 - Directed by Kevin Godley

January 7th 2009 09:26

U2 - Sweetest Thing
Sweetest Thing U2


Awesome clip by Kevin Godley to U2's Sweetest Thing. The song was originally a b-side to Where The Streets Have No Name back in 1987 but gained popularity with the re-release for the greatest hits CD. The clip features Bono singing to his wife in an open top vehicle with a range of cameos and activities happening all around and in the background. These feature elephants and chippendales and appearances by Boyzone and the rest of the band. It is a memorable clip and fits the heartfelt sentiment of the song - enjoy

200. Praise You - Fatboy Slim - Directed by Spike Jonze

January 4th 2009 22:19
Praise You - Fatboy Slim
Fatboy Slim Priase you


For our 200TH post I thought I'd give you a very special all time favourite video of mine. Fatboy Slim has made a name for himself with catchy tunes and great videos. Spike Jonze is the director who has put music videos on the map. This outrageous crazy clip features the director Jonze as the leader of a fictional dance troup - Richard Koufey of the Torrence Community dancers. The group perform a routine to puzzled theatre goers outside a Los Angeles cinema who are not quite sure what to make of it. Fatboy Slim has a cameo in the clip as an onlooker. The end of the clip features a mockumentary interview with the leader Koufey and the troup post performance - where he claims to have a lot of B-Boy influence coming from New York. Such a easy concept but it is so well done - would have cost them next to nothing and the final result is one of the most famous and best music videos of all time. Enjoy

January 3rd 2009 23:24
Ladies of the World - Flight of the Conchords
Flight of the Conchords - Ladies of the World


A very funny song by a very funny group. New Zealand comedy duo - Flight of the Conchords have been steadily growing from obscurity to cult status and heading towards mainstream. The duo write songs with quirky lyrics but have a solid music base to them. This clip was directed by the talented Nima Nourizadeh who has already featured several times on this site - most recently with the Ready for the Floor clip for Hotchip. Take some to to listen to the lyrics of this song - it will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Enjoy

191. Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley - Directed by Simon West

January 1st 2009 12:17

YOU HAVE BEEN RICKROLLED
Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up Rickrolled
YOU HAVE BEEN RICKROLLED


Ahh the 1980's. They gave rise to many really bad music trends some have vanished thankfully into thin air (so who were Bros?) but then there are others that remain with us like a bad smell. One such music video is this one from Rick Astley.

Potentially the daggiest clip ever made to a catchy but overproduced tune from the evil Stock Aitken Waterman team. The red haired crooner from Lancastershire become a household name in the 1980's with this mega hit. It then faded over time and became just a vague bad memory.



But lo - the internet came along and with its ability to breathe life into things that should be well and truly dead - came an internet phenomenon where by people started to prank others via e-mail (it started on April Fools Day) urging them to open a link that they were told was fun/important/vital to their well being only to be directed to the YouTube video of the Never Gonna Give You Up clip. And so the phenomenon of RICKROLLING was born.

So here at

www.musicvideos.net.au

we have decided to accept this cultural phenomenon and share with you the pleasure of being RICKROLLED

enjoy

190. Sober - Pink

January 1st 2009 11:00
Pink Sober
Sober Pink


Pink has had a big year and this is her latest offering. This clip was shot in Stockholm Sweden and features Pink and a doppelganger who goes out and gets drunk and ends up flirting with guys and girls. She then calls up Pink. Then it suddenly goes into a small white room and Pink is now wearing white and a short haired bob white wig with a fringe - where she sings some more. Then as this clip gets weirder she is in a forest with things reflected off the trees. Then in a final completely bizarre twist - the doppelganger ends up in Pink's bed and starts having sex with her. Yep there a fairly full on lesbian scene which is intercut with pink or the other one either singing in the forest or drunk at the initial party. So she is basically having sex with herself.

I have no idea what is going on in this clip - might have to watch it a few times to find out

A beautiful song by British singer Adele. Initially released as a limited edition 500 copy 7inch vinyl in the UK it got a proper release in the US in 2008 and made it into the charts worldwide. The video is a simple live performance recording on a deserted rooftop with lights strung up. The song was used on the finale of season four of the hugely popular television show Grey’s Anatomy. A really lovely song - here it is

188. Electric Feel - MGMT - Directed by Ray Tintori

January 1st 2009 03:54
MGMT Electric Feel
MGMT Electric Feel


Brooklyn based pop duo MGMT (formerly known as The Management) had a big hit with this the second single off their Oracular Spectacular album. The clip is a psychedelic crazy jungle party with a bizarre fantasy feel to it. It was nominated for a 2008 MTV award for art direction. It definitely has that LSD acid drug trip feel to the clip (and the track). One of the biggest songs and clips from 2008 – hope you enjoy!.

187. Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz - Driected by Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland

December 31st 2008 22:47
Clint Eastwood Gorillaz
Gorillaz Clint Eastwood


This track comes from Gorillaz first self titled album. The world's biggest virtual band burst onto the scene with this hit in 2001 (though they had started up in 1998). The brain child of Blur frontman Damon Albarn and Tank Girl comic creator Jamie Hewlett the band is made up of four animated characters. In terms of success Albarn struck gold with this album but that pails compared to the success he had with their second album Demon Days in 2005. We eagerly await their next album due late 2009 - till then enjoy this great clip.

186. The Safety Dance - Men Without Hats

December 31st 2008 22:25

The Safety Dance Men Without Hats
Men without Hats or should that be Men Without Jobs


What better way to ring in the New Year than with this the one hit from one hit wonders Men Without Hats . The Safety Dance was big in the early 1980’s. It features a great music video with medieval imagery (or like Lord Of The Rings) and was filmed in the village of West Kington in the south-west of England. The lead singer Ivan Doroschuk is the only member of the band to perform in the clip which also features a dwarf and Morris dancing. Truly memorable – have fun remembering (or discovering) this one.
