Great music videos (of the 3 to 4 minute variety)

[JamesOK]

The combination of working at home and having just had Sky installed means I am watching MTV quite a bit at the moment! Saw a couple of really good videos today and just wondered what good videos other people have seen recently.

• Oasis - Falling Down. Its all about a reluctant member of the royal family (or at least thats my interpretation).
• Coldplay - Life in Technicolour II. I dont even like Coldplay but this video is excellent. Its a Punch and Judy coldplay gig.

Anyone else care to suggest some ones?

A few of my favourites:

Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Radiohead - Karma Police

Unkle - Rabbit in your Headlights

Joy Division - Atmposphere

Nine Inch Nails - Closer

I know it's old hat now, but A-ha's 'Take On Me' is still a great video (song ain't bad either).

Octopo:
Radiohead - Karma Police

Radiohead have done a few good vids. "Just" is also really good. The one where Tom Yorke is sprawled out on the pavement with people tripping over him.

I think its Fall out Boy where the guy has antlers and no one likes him. Dont know why but I really like it.

Cash's hurt is excellent too.

And the Radiohead one where Thom is in a glass bowl and nearly drowns (is that Karma Police????)

I'm sure there's many more but i'm stumped for now.....

Possibly the Eminem song where everyone is a Muppet...

Ah thanks 🙂

Also, Elbow's "On a Day Like this" which is just a guy in the street spinning/throwing a "Condo Sale" sign for 3 minutes. Its better than it sounds...

I reckons: Fatboy slim - Praise you

Weezer - Buddy Holly

Tenacious D - Tribute

Foo Fighters - Learn to fly

Justice - D.A.N.C.E (check it out on youtube, its quite clever)

Daft Punk - Around the world

I'm surprised nobody's mentionned Thriller by Jacko yet. Ok, the long version is more than 3-4 minutes, but it did raise the bar way high when it was released, kind of redefined the genre totally IMO.

Also, Daft Punk's Around the World.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, makes a video like Tool does.

Praise you is brilliant and Karma Police is the boring video of a bloke running along a road with Thom Yorke in a car behind that then has to reverse away from a line of fire.
