Music videos filmed in strange places.

I'm trying to find music videos that were filmed in unusual places for a quiz.

So far I have If I could Turn Back Time by Cher which was filmed on a real aircraft carrier and Fire starter by The Prodigy which was filmed in an abandoned underground tunnel. There must be others.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA

U2 on a rooftop?

Madness House of Fun
It was filmed at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach.

Bjork had one filmed on the back of a truck driving through a city I think

The Verve’s Bitter Suite Symphony was filmed all the way down Hoxton St, east London. I used to live above a shop there. Not sure if it counts as unusual though.

And The Special’s Ghost Town was filmed on Lower Thames St and the Barbican Tunnel in the City. Again, but sure if it’s unusual but I know both areas well.

Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’ was filmed in Roger Taylor’s garden.

April, May and June are all established names. August isn’t that unusual either. I knew someone who has February as her middle name.

Rain or Shine by 5Star (UK's answer to Jackson 5) was filmed under the Westway flyover in North Kensington (London w10)

Oops I did it again was filmed on mars Wink

Velvet Revolver - Slither was filmed in the Paris Catacombs. It's probably my favourite tourist attraction in Paris, but definitely an unusual place for a music video.

Three Lions was filmed in an M25 Service Station car park. The building burnt down a year or two later.

I think - you'd have to find and watch it - INXS Never Tear Us Apart was filmed in Czech churchyard

One of Ed Sheeran's was filmed in a dirty chicken shop.

Paul Weller's You Do Something to me was filmed in Woking, does that count as weird?

seashaken · 24/08/2023 19:42

Pixies "Velouria", filmed in a quarry near Manchester.

Vienna by Ultravox, filmed in Covent Garden.

Yes! That's a great music fact. Less well known than the "which song kept Vienna off the No.1 spot" one

Some of these suggestions are very mundane places!

What are you expecting? The majority are probably filmed in studio or live when performing.

ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man was filmed in a snowy Montreal Olympic Stadium.

Well, from the thread title (just throwing it out there)... music videos filmed in strange places. She didn't just ask for every random video filmed on location somewhere. 🤷‍♀️

Taylor Swift filmed a video in a north London kebab shop
