Do you have a favorite music video?

Smells like Nirvana. Smells like teen spirit.

Scareface’s (Original Video) of “On My Block” (on YouTube.).. Even if you don’t like hip hop, it’s worth 3 minutes, of your time. If you watch it, you’ll know what I mean…

@MrGrimm888 Wow. That was really good.

This is America by Childish Gambiino

and something mellower:

Holocene by Bon Iver.

Take Me To Church by Hozier

Umbrella, performed by Spiderman
Smoke Weed Everyday
and
Walk through the Forest, with Consequences

Blood, blood, blood In This Moment.
Bodies hit the floor
Lips of an Angel
Several by Eric Church and Jason Aldean
I’ll pull up my playlist on youtube Monday, theres a lot of good ones.

Bonnie Tyler’s Total eclipse of the Heart— with that Gothic college in Wales and the weird dark dream sequence, and the daytime one at the end,

A Solitary Reign by Amenra
Pro-Test by Skinny Puppy
Rats by Ghost
Closer by Nine Inch Nails (fair warning: NSFW)

Bombay by El Guincho

My friends and I discovered this “trippy” Spanish music video when we were sophomores in college. Yes, it has gratuitous female frontal nudity and it’s a bit excessively hipster, but it’s still one of my favorites.

Vindaloo – Fat Les

Paul Simon and Chevy Chase in You Can Call Me Al .
Their timing is flawless.

“Weird Al” Yankovic – Eat It

I laugh each time I watch it.

This is my favourite at the moment.

@anniereborn . Told ya. Glad you took the time to watch it. :)

These are some great videos. And yes I have been working my way through them.

I think I just developed a crush on Tom Holland.

Chris Walken rocks. https://youtu.be/wCDIYvFmgW8

I love their music, but I also appreciate the sense of humor in some of their videos.
I’m not saying who, but one of them looks so much like my youngest boy’s daddy, you could almost convince me he lived a double life.

Michael Jackson, Thriller. Quite different from the album version, and as a horror nerd who can resist the zombie dance?

Mudvayne – Scream With Me
Mudvayne – Dig
Aphex Twin – Come to Daddy
Die Antwoord – I Fink You Freaky

@nerdgirl578 I forgot about Thriller. Probably one of the best, and best known of all time.

@Patty_Melt

I love these videos, movies, etc that use chess for the symbolism of war, master strategy, intelligence, etc….and then they set the board up incorrectly. lol.

Also Tov Lo-Habits.

Listen to the Flower People

@Caravanfan Lol, Spinal Tap rock!

Mojo Nixon- Redneck Rampage.

Jim Carrey- Cold Dead Hand.

@Caravanfan YOU WIN

@Darth, but there is the truth to the symbolism, isn’t it? War is not intelligent. It is not organized. It does not follow a rigid set of rules.

Truth be known, somebody just assembled odds and ends together because hearing music was no longer enough.
Videos were, and are, frequently just bits of bric a brac thrown together to make an alternate way of enjoying the music. Some, like Michael Jackson, made it more like a mini movie.

I think it is actually a role reversal of what music and movies are to each other.
Movies have background music, sometimes with lyrics which mirror the activity of the movie, and some which simply has a sound befitting the attitude of the scene.
Someone turned that around. Some music videos show what the lyrics of the song is trying to express, and some simply have images which randomly fit the feelings evoked by the song’s sound.
Nobody cared ding about setting up a chess board. The important part was the cool face makeup on the young woman.

@Mastema2 Mudvayne is from the area I finished out my high school years. I knew the drummer, Matt McDonough. We actually went on a few dates. He was such a sweet guy. Very talented.

@Patty_Melt “but there is the truth to the symbolism, isn’t it? War is not intelligent. It is not organized. It does not follow a rigid set of rules”

Which is why chess is actually a poor analogy for war, politics and anything of the sort. A game that starts off in perfect balance, with two completely equal sides, with an agreed upon set of rules and fairness where all information is available to both sides at all times – yeah, nothing at all like war or politics.

But no, I doubt that sort of symbolism was intended in this case. I think it was probably more just a matter or someone not bothering to check. No biggie, I actually find it funny in that cheesy, Spinal Tap-esq way that the entire video is. This sort of stuff only really bothers me when in something where chess is a plot point. Like some movie I saw once where the whole movie revolved around a chess game and one player won by “checkmating” the other guy via a move that put his own king in check (flagrantly illegal, as one cannot make a move that puts one’s own king in check).

Nobody, has mentioned “Moon Walker,” yet. That was a bad ass video, by MJ…..

@wiscoblond now that is an epic story for sure!
