Music Videos

I have to say that I'm a huge fan of music videos as a medium. Sure, there are a lot of shitty ones out there, but there are also a good amount of really good ones. I love music videos for their sheer emotive abilities. The can tell a story, but more often than not it's completely expressive. Here is a collection of some of my favorite music videos.

I found out about this group recently, and I have to say I am a fan. While the music video is a very literal interpretation of the random sound clips in the song, it works well. The song is just very intense and I've literally spent hours dancing to it.

I love Indian music, and this music video does not disappoint. Dancing cowboys are always fun, especially when they put Michael Jackson to shame.

On the other end of the spectrum in Indian music is this gem. I have no clue what's going on, but its fun none the less. I can't quite tell if I'm laughing because of how fun it is, or at the dancing (as culturally insensitive as that is). Either way, a great watch.

While I'm not a huge hip-hop fan, I'm a huge fan Missy Elliot and Busta Rhymes. Their music are always a trip. Greatest trip among these is this music video. There is no explanation for this music. None.

What entry on music videos would be complete without this ensemble? The music video that exploded onto the Internet, it speaks for itself. All I know is that me and my friends have been planning to reenact this for about a year now.

Another big hit, who wasn't addicted to this song when it came out? Got to love Beatles references, especially in that shade of green.
