I always admire anyone putting in that kind of commitment wrt prosthetics...

It's more a compilation of dance scenes from loads of dance movies but this is my favourite YouTube video...Can't Stop The Feeling

Glad to see the Foos rating highly, I do have a thing for short haired Dave 😍

speaking of ‘things’ another fave is Faith No More’s ‘Easy’ video... Mike Patton at his gorgeous best...

Talking Heads - Once in a lifetime

Pulp - Bad Cover Version

Binting · 14/03/2020 10:35

@oldraver, love that video too, also Bloodhound Gang’s Bad Touch which was around the same time

Mockerswithnoknockers · 14/03/2020 10:37

Mention must also go to the inventors of the form, Godley and Creme, who pioneered the fast cuts to match the tempo of the music. This is a technical one for the cinephiles:

And a personal favourite, the greatest pop video that never was, so much better than the over-produced official version, and the wardrobe malfunction only makes it better.

AllTheseThingsThatIHaveNotDone · 14/03/2020 10:37

My pants are on fire! Okay, really need to get on but mockers's allusion to spotting references reminded me of this beauty.
The band ran a competition in the US for how many ''easter eggs'' fans could find in the video (illuminati, Kubrick etc)
Okay, outta here, I am procrastinating again Wink
Enjoy your Saturday!

I am very un-pc when it comes to my favourite music videos...

AllTheseThingsThatIHaveNotDone · 14/03/2020 10:39

Sorry, the above: Top of the world - Imagine Dragons
I really do have to get up now, get up now, get up now Grin

UltimateIrritant · 14/03/2020 10:45

Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit

Radiohead - Street spirit

Disturbed - Sound of silence

sageandroses · 14/03/2020 10:47

Thought of another - Shakespear's Sister, Stay!

Binting · 14/03/2020 10:48

Favourite girl crush video is Like a Prayer. Madonna is just Old school gorgeous in this video

haverhill · 14/03/2020 10:51

Witness the Fitness by Roots Manuva. Never has a three-legged race had such pathos and tragedy.

haverhill · 14/03/2020 10:52

But seriously, Burn the Witch by Radiohead.

Mockerswithnoknockers · 14/03/2020 10:52

I prefer Get Into The Groove, a true time-capsule of 1986, althought technically not a popvid because its a movie trailer.

(She may be a mad old bat now, but back in the day...)

trappedsincesundaymorn · 14/03/2020 11:15

Brian Molko looking his very best.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 14/03/2020 11:25

This one is clever.

TheVanguardSix · 14/03/2020 11:32

Nothing Compares 2 U
Save a Prayer (I would actually pray for that video to come on)
Wicked Game... was there ever a more gorgeous woman than Helena in that video?
Freedom’90
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Give it Away by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

TheVanguardSix · 14/03/2020 11:33

Oh and Kiss by Prince

TheVanguardSix · 14/03/2020 11:36

And another one:
This is Hardcore by Pulp
Oh! And also,
Love of My Life (Ode to Hiphop) by Erykah Badu
Also, Honey by Erykah Badu

DieSchottin93 · 14/03/2020 11:57

Ich Will by Rammstein. Closely followed by Deutschland (also Rammstein).

NellyTimes · 14/03/2020 12:22

I know many people have already said Take On Me by A-ha, but seriously, nothing else on this planet is sexier than Morten Harket thrashing about trying to break through the frame at the end. It's my happy place.

RubyWho · 14/03/2020 13:24

Sacrilege - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

RubyWho · 14/03/2020 13:25

Oh and Witness The Fitness by Roots Manuva
