May 6th 2010 12:41
Take Me Out Franz Ferdinand
Take Me Out Franz Ferdinand


Glasgow pop-rockers Franz Ferdinand (named after the grand duke of the same name) had a huge global hit with this second release of their self-titled debut album. Directed by Jonas Odell the animated clip is a nod to the crazy animated work of Monty Python's Terry Gilliam as well as 1930's musical director Busby Berkley. A ripping original clip for one of the catchiest pop/rock songs of the decade - enjoy

Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world


English pop duo burst onto the scene in the mid 80's with their monster album - Songs from the big chair. It gave rise to several massive hits, Shout and this song, Everybody Wants to Rule the World. This lovely film clip was shot on location in Southern California and was directed by renowned music video director Nigel Dick (who went on to work with Oasis and Britney Spears among others). The clip was hugely popular and a major part of the bands success in the US. Great song, great clip - enjoy

240. Losing My Religion - REM - Directed by Tarsem Singh

October 17th 2009 11:07
Losing My Religion - REM
REM - Losing My Religion


Breaking with their rules of never having the band lipsync along to a video REM decided to let director Tarsem Singh loose with his ideas about art and religion and the connection between to make this beautiful video. Although the band had been around for a while and well known in the indie scene this was their breakout song/video that saw them become mainstream (and giving the world the most famous Mandolin break ever). A wonderful music video inspired by the films of Tarkovsky and the paintings of Caravaggio.

Enjoy

238. Sexx Laws - Beck - Directed by Beck

October 13th 2009 00:58
Sexx Laws Beck
Beck Sexx Laws


The music video, directed by Beck himself, is partly a tribute to the film Mr. Freedom.[1] Jack Black appears in the music video as a member of the Vision Warrior Men's Circle, along with Neil Strauss and Justin Meldal-Johnsen[2] Surreal elements of the video include a refrigerator dry humping an oven, Kenny G (played by Meldal-Johnsen) in a room of football players, and a spinning mannequin of a zebra with a banjo.

There are several versions of the video. The original (once posted on Beck's website) was over 18 minutes long and extended the intro of the Men's Circle. The subsequent versions edited out the intro and ending, the latter truncating a pep rally speech by Jack Black's character.

235. The Universal - Blur - Directed by Jonathan Glazer

June 15th 2009 12:31
The Universal - Blur
Blur - The Universal


A great clip for a great song by a great band - The Universal was from Blur's fourth studio album The Great Escape. Their previous album Parklife featured two big ballads (To the End and This Is A Low). The Universal fits the same bill here. The clip is by British wunderkid director Jonathon Glazer (who thrilled us with the Jamiroquoi Virtual Insanity clip and then went on the direct feature films Sexy Beast and Birth). The clip is notable for it's homage to Stanley Kubrick's groundbreaking 1971 film A Clockwork Orange. The band are dressed up like the Droogs from the film and many of the shots are references to the film (Glazer has elements of Kubrick films in most of his clips). From the pinnacle of brit pop here is Blur's Universal - enjoy

232 - 60 Miles An Hour - New Order - Directed by Rob Leggatt and Leigh Marling

May 5th 2009 23:42

New Order - 60 Miles an Hour
60 mph New Order


British pop/rock outfit New Order had been together in one form or another for more than 20 years when they released this absolutely killer track in 2001 - great beat, great lyrics and a high level of musicality that have been the hallmark of their careers are all evident here in this amazing track - the clip which came out with the release of the track back in 2001 is a lot of fun and matches the lyrics of the song if not in a somewhat bizarre manner. 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

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

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

184. Bad Cover Version - Pulp

December 30th 2008 23:53
Pulp Bad Cover Version
Bad Cover Version


This video features celebrity impersonators who gather, in a similar style to the video for Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to perform a ‘tribute’ to Pulp. All the lookalikes appear to perform their own lines in the style of the artists they are impersonating, with the exception of the Jarvis Cocker lookalike, who is miming to Cocker's vocal. Cocker himself appears in the video dressed as Brian May, playing the guitar solo that ends the song. Interestingly Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain makes an appearance (or an impersonator or him) from beyond the grave. A very very funny clip. ENJOY!

179. Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend - Directed by Richard Ayoade

December 29th 2008 23:19
Oxford Comma Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend Oxford Comma


Another great clip of 2008 - this one is for American Indie Pop band Vampire Weekend and thir extremely catchy tune Oxford Comma. The concept behind the video was for it to be filmed in one long shot, with unified visual and musical aspects.It features the band and in particular the lead singer walking through various story lines and narratives going on in the background. It is beautifully directed by English comedian Richard Ayoade (who was involved in the mighty boosh). There is alot going on but it holds together really well and is really well shot. I love it. Enjoy

178. Pork and Beans - Weezer - Directed by Matt Cullen

December 29th 2008 22:58
Weezer Pork and Beans YouTube
Pork and Beans


This (along with the Hot Chip video for Ready for the Floor) gets my vote for the best music video of the yar. It is also one of the funniest. Anyone who has a good working knowledge of YouTube will recognize the celebrities from the site - the evolution of dance guy, miss South Carolina, the endless videos of the mentos in diet coke stunts, the Chocolate Rain song guy, Chris Crocker of 'LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!' fame. In fact here's a complete list of who's in this video. Gary Brolsma ("Numa Numa guy"), Matt McAllister, Mark Allen Hicks ("Afro Ninja"), Caitlin Upton, Judson Laipply, Chris Crocker, Kicesie, Tay Zonday, Kevin Federline (stock footage), Kelly, Ryan Weiber, Michael "Dorkman" Scott, Jeong-Hyun Lim, Dramatic Prairie Dog (including lookalikes of J-Pop group Mini Moni, who were in the original TV clip the Dramatic Prairie Dog originated from), Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz's Diet Coke and Mentos eruptions, parody G.I. Joe PSAs, catching Raybans with one's face, the Dancing Banana, Will It Blend?, All Your Base Are Belong to Us, Sneezing Panda, One Man Band by Connor Berge, Daft Hands, Daft Bodies, the Soulja Boy dance (listed on YouTube as "Crank That Soldier Boy"), a CGI Donald Duck and King Kong, Charlie the Unicorn, and the UFO sighting in Haiti Hoax video.

The direction is great and Matt Cullen does a wonderful job holding it together. As you'd expect this video has had alot of hits on YouTube (15million and counting). It certainly is a pop culture milestone clip and has been nominated for several awards including a grammy!. Here it is - hope you enjoy

173. Living On A Prayer - Bon Jovi

Living On A Prayer
Living On A Prayer


Well it is the festive season so I thought I'd celebrate with this classic 1980's track. The video shot at the Olympic stadium in Los Angeles Is simple - band rehearsing concert then playing concert. The big hair, the outrageous flying stunt are just part of what remains so great about this ear - the complete excess. So here it is in it's glory - enjoy

156. Just - Mark Ronson -

December 16th 2008 23:12
Hey there,

Mark Ronson would be just about the hottest DJ on the planet right now and his ability to do wonderous cover versions of songs went to a new level with this. I funky ska version of Radiohead's Just. Made for the Exit Music album of Radiohead covers it is sassy and not an unworthy version of this great song. Singer Alex Greenwald does the vocals and feature in the clip with multilpe Ronson's What's more the video parodies the ground breaking Radiohead clip and makes fun of the whole narrative with subtitles.The famous scene with all the people lying on the ground is mercilessly sent up with the same people getting up and dancing. With a sense of humour and talent to burn we will see lots from Mr Ronson I am sure. Enjoy!

155. Northern Downpour - Panic At The Disco

December 16th 2008 22:44

Shot in dreamy black and white and featuring all the members of the band - this clip has a kind of nostalgic Beatles quality to it. It also has a nod to batman with the city light projecting the words Hey Moon. All in all an interesting clip from the Nevada based rockers and a great use of narrative and black and white to enhance the wistful nature of the song. Enjoy

144. Shout To The Top - Style Council

December 13th 2008 06:58

One of my favourite songs of the 80's - Paul Weller caught in between his early punk years with the Jam and his later solo career in the 90's and beyond. This song features him singing in a jacket only he could make cool. The song is a ripper and will have you dancing around the room guaranteed - even if you are hearing it for the first time. Enjoy

142. Beat It - Michael Jackson - Directed by Bob Giraldi

December 13th 2008 00:58


An all time classic music video from one of the great artists. Michael Jackson so often used film genres for his clips (horror for thriller) and this clip draws its inspiration on the sort of gang war that lies at the heart of the musical west side story. The clip is directed by veteran Bob Giraldi and is choreographed by Michael Peters (who plays the gang leader in the white outfit). The song features a killer lead guitar rift and one of the great guitar solos by Eddie Van Halen and it represent a fusion of R & B and Rock. One for the ages - enjoy

137. Song 2 - Blur - Directed by Sophie Muller

December 12th 2008 09:48

With the announcement that Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon have settled their differences and are reforming Blur - I thought I'd take a look at their most successful song. Song 2 was a working title that just stuck - with a sly killer guitar riff and a fantastic 2 minute length that makes you want to hit the repeat button on the cd/mp3 player. Directed by Sophie Muller who has done other clips for them. Have fun with this one.

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.
