Default Favorite music video

Search Youtube or anyother video site for your favorite music video and post it here. State why you like the video, be it for the song or some aspect of the video itself.

My favorites off the top of my head would be:
Red Hot Chili Peppers -Give it away
http://youtube.com/watch?v=D4DtonXICyE
-I love the band and this was probably the first music video that I remember seeing.

Weird Al - Amish paradise
http://youtube.com/watch?v=FvC5pZnPb0Q
-More so the song that I find funny than the video.

and another parady done by the show In living Color - Baby got snacks
http://youtube.com/watch?v=HAwQNJhJHvE
-Just simply hilarious!

Motley Crue - 'Home Sweet Home'.

I was a huge Crue fan back in the day, and this video was tops on MTV for an eternity.

i don't watch any sort of music TV, so here are a few videos that i've stumbled across that i like

Jakalope - Pretty Life (she is just so friggin hot)

Poets of The Fall - Lift (great song, good visuals)

Robert Randolph - Going in The Right Direction (soul music rules)

Clutch - Burning Beard (just weirdly awesome)

Kamelot - March of Mephisto (very theatrical quality)

kidneythieves - Zerospace (most underrated band ever)

Leaves' Eyes - Elegy (vikings and hot chicks. nuff said)

Probot - Shake Your Blood (Lemmy and Suicide Girls. again, nuff said)

well i guess you don't need to watch much music or mtv anymore to see music videos. god bless youtube

It was already mentioned, but I'll mention it again. Hurt by Johnny Cash. Best music video made, ever.. easily.

That was soooo popular the year after I graduated... Holy crap I am an oldie goldie now....

First one that came to mind was Motley Crue's "Hell On High Heels" Freakin' hilarious cartoon (PG-13... )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me2fhXzwgo0

Run DMC and Aerosmith with "Walk This Way". Great combination of talent and genres.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LHxpQeb318

And the king of videos from the very early ages of video DJ's, Dire Straits "Money for Nothing"

never really got into kalmah - the vocals and music don't seem to go together properly. any songs by them you could recommend (other than the link posted)?

and if you haven't yet, check out Agalloch - Not Unlike the Waves

Glad you picked the one from the 'Moonwalker' movie.

Love that movie by the way.

Edit: This is my favourite one from the movie, Leave Me Alone

I was just thinking of that one too. It's hillarious.

In the same note of using amateurs in videos, this Ween video is pretty funny. The guy with the mustache cracks me up:

I'd say if you aren't into these songs, then Kalmah probably isn't for you.

I tried to find a video for Dying Fetus - Grotesque Impalement, but they only have live versions.

Of course one of the all-time best for good reason is AHA's "Take on Me"
But only if you watch the first few seconds of "The Sun Always Shines on TV" which completes the tale in tragic fashion:

Take on me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0R7dvLAiP8
Sun Always Shines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UETauC0-bPc

I like this one by Fleetwood Mac for the song "Everywhere"
