147. Well Did You Evah - Iggy Pop and Debbie Harry - Driected by Alex Cox

December 14th 2008 08:30

This radical cover of the classic Cole Porter song from High Society (which featured Frank Sinarta and Bing Crosby in the film original) was recorded for the Red Hot and Blue album - which was both a tribute to Cole Porter and a fund raiser for AIDS related charities. Iggy and Debbie take on the famous personas from the film but also put their own special stamp on it. There should be more covers like this!!! Alex Cox's direction is assured and perfect. 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

136. No Rain - Blind Melon - Directed by Samuel Bayer

December 11th 2008 08:34

Another great clip by Samuel Bayer (he of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit fame). This time with Californian hippy rockers Blind Melon. The clip stars Heather DeLoach as the "Bee Girl" — a young tap dancer wearing a homemade bee costume and large glasses, modeled after the Blind Melon album's cover: It opens on the girl's tap routine; the audience responds with laughter, and the girl runs off stage in tears. As the song plays, she wanders through a city, stopping to perform her dance for whoever will watch. Ultimately — at the point in the song where the word "escape" is repeated — she peeks through a gate, astonished, then runs through it to join a group of "bee people" of all shapes and sizes dancing joyfully in a green field. (from wikipedia).

This clip is all about the joy of life and both the wonderful song and mesmerising (and cute) visuals make that message sing out with so much heart and spirit (maybe the pre teen spirit). Enjoy.

133. Rock The Casbah - The Clash

December 9th 2008 03:45

One of my favourite bands doing one of my favourite songs. Yes the clip for Rock the Casbah might be simple but it is effective and does a wonderful job relaying the fun of this great song. Filmed near the oil wells of Austin Texas this song is true to it's middle eastern/north African subject matter (I think it has something to do with the Algerian Wars of the 1950's and 60's) Hope you enjoy dancing around the room to this awesome song

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

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.

November 15th 2008 02:28

The clip that made the band - exquisitely shot, lit and composed = the Cure front man Robert Smith obviously got what the director was trying to do an put in a breathtaking performance that came to symbolize everything about the band. The amazing cave scenary adds to the near perfect video - one of my favourites - hope you enjoy

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.

34. One - U2 - Directed by Anton Corbijn

October 10th 2008 07:08

Brilliant song, brilliant clip - dutch master Anton Corbijn makes a clips in his trade mark black and white, one that challenges gender conventions with the band dressed in drag. Set in Berlin and using everything that city has to offer. As a side note the dignified old man in the clip is actually Bono's father. One of my favourites - hope you enjoy!
