OK GO - "This Too Shall Pass"

Holy crap, this is amazing:



I especially like bashing their early video.

SOFT CELL - "Sex Dwarf"

Quite possibly the greatest '80s dance song ever:

soft cell - sex dwarf

This was our favorite. If you can't dance to this, you can't dance to anything.

BEASTIE BOYS - "Sabotage"

One of the greatest videos ever, courtesy of Spike Jonze:



Though I can't believe they dubbed a "fuck". Sheesh.

JOY DIVISION - "Shadowplay"

This one goes out to Bob:



And is probably my favorite.

I have had The Cramps for a long time

URGH! A Music War:



I will never forget seeing this for the first time, dreading Lux's perilous pants...

A-HA - "Take On Me", DONE LITERALLY

This was pure genius:



Now I'm gonna go make a list of songs Id' like to see done this way...

DAVID BOWIE - "Five Years" (Live 1972)

Quite possible my favorite Bowie song:



but the whole RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS album pretty much kicks ass.

RAMONES - "Time Has Come Today"

Absolutely the best Ramones video:



The church of Joey Ramone.

DEE LITE - "Groove is in the Heart"

If you don't like this one



you have absolutely no soul. Even Satan don't want you.

As my friend J-P sez, any vid with Bootsy is ACES!

HIVES - "Tick Tick"

OK, this is just one huge ass-kicking song and video:



And HERE is the better version than that YouTube crap.

I really dig the Hives.

WHITE STRIPES - "Fell In Love With A Girl"

Another true classic, directed by Michael Gondry:



Best use of LEGO™ ever.

WHITE STRIPES- "The Hardest Button To Button"

In case you missed it:



Classic Michael Gondry vid.

RUSSIAN! SPACE! PIRATES!

Actually this is a song by Mumiy Troll, apparently for some themed TV show with other bands. Al I know is that it is awe-inspiring.


And of course, HERE is the better version!

LOUIS ARMSTRONG - "Paris Blues"

Every time I see this, I smile:



Louis Armstrong is one of the few people I would have actually like to have met.

"Linda Linda Linda"

This just completely kicks ass:



Unfortunately it's the penultimate scene from a movie, so I just ruined it for you.

BULGARI - "Curare"

I really really really like this music video. The perfect combination of animation, comics and music!



And it tells a cool comic book story. Perfect!

A very nice version of this found here.

DANIELSON - "Did I Step On Your Trumpet?"

This video is just completely awesome... I love the whole "high school play" look of the sets and the props, and they really have things timed perfectly for all the rapid changes:



HERE is a cleaner version!

RJD2 - "Work It Out"

This is just plan cool:



From the YouTube link:

This is the video for Rjd2's "Work It Out" from 'The Third Hand' (XL Recordings). The vid features Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. Though this may look like a recreational hobby or a debilitation, it is simply how Bill maneuvers throughout the day. In time to Rjd2's song "Work It Out" we follow Bill as he makes his way around. At the slow start, Bill is descending the courthouse steps in downtown Brooklyn. It's difficult, but he makes it down and the rest you'll just have to watch to understand. Rjd2 plays several extras which you can try to spot as well. The video, directed by Joey Garfield, is one continuous single shot for the length of the song.

And here's the cleaner version.

zZz - "Grip"

Just a fantastic video, all in one take:



Did you see the guy at the bottom painting the time bar? Cool beans.

DAN LE SAC VS. SCROOBIUS PIP - "Thou Shalt Always Kill"

Great stuff, and great philosophy.



HERE IT IS all nicey-nice.

Just a band.

MENOMENA - "Wet And Rusting"

OK, this is one of my Favorite Videos Of All Time. Watch it.



I really like all parts of this video, and I dig the song. What else is there?
(Notice that there is obviously some old typewriter collector. Who knew?)

Best version here.

THERMALS - "Pillar of Salt"

Another top-notch video, brimming with energy and fun:



HERE'S a much nicer version.

IGGY POP and DEBBIE HARRY - "Well Did You Evah?"

OK, this is one of my favorite videos... two great artists acting out an end-of-the-world scenario... a true classic, directed by Alex Cox (REPO MAN). Plus RHODAN! Watch this extended clip to see Sinatra and Der Bingle singing their version...



And go HERE to watch a better version...

THE WHO - "My Generation" on the Smothers Brother's show

Keith Moon blow up real good:



Smash host's guitar.

TIP TOP - "Tip Top"

Ah. This is what I see when I dream:



And HERE it is in a nicer version.

LANCELOT LINK - "The Evolution Revolution"

Because the word "LAANCELOT" is forever burned in my head...



Peanut butter + monkeys = PROFIT!

DAVID BOWIE - "Heroes"

Nothing left to say:



Thanks, NOHANDSMOM, that was completely awesome. Sometimes I swim like dolphins they swim. We can be heroes just for one day.

In case you never saw this
