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

December 26th 2008 11:07
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.

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

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.

85. Writing To Reach You - Travis - Directed by John Hardwick

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

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!

60. Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads - Directed by David Byrne and Toni Basil

October 31st 2008 01:28

What started off as an avant garde punk art school band turned into one of the world's most loved rock acts. This great song is produced by the legendary Brian Eno and his flourishes can be heard. The clip is almost performance art with Byrne at his best with choreography by Toni Basil (of 'Mickey' fame). Enjoy.

49. Addicted To Love - Robert Palmer - Directed by Terence Donovan

October 25th 2008 02:45

Terence Donovan was a 1960's fashion photographer in London - for Robert Palmer's famous film clip he used a team of models and dressed them exactly the same way with the same hair and make up to be members of Palmer's backing band. Their bland facial expressions resemble the work of painter Patrick Nagel and this clip is most dfinitely one of the iconic music videos of the 1980's and a moment where fashion and music . Here it is!
