There's a link to this one in my sig. Younha's Houkiboshi drives me absolutely crazy and refuses to remove itself from my head. I've lost who knows how much sleep to this song. Thank goodness it's so awesome... for a pop-style love song.

They Might Be Giants: Bastard Wants to Hit Me
I don't know how big you all are on U2 around here, but even so, this one is probably worth it. Bush "sings" Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Greatest music video concept ever. Best part is that it can be done on a shoestring budget. Flaming Lips: Do You Realize?? The only problem is that it's a low quality upload.
Probably the best video for Bad Religion's Supersonic. YAY HEDGEHOGS (The footage for this was composed primarily from one source: the Sonic CD opening video. Sadly, it's shorter than the music video, by 10-15 seconds, so some footage from Sonic Adventure 2 is used. Pthhbbt. BTW, they did a few songs for the soundtrack of an ACTUAL Sega game, CRAZY TAXI.)
Here's a fun Great Big Sea song, When I Am King.
Here's another GBS offering, a traditional song that's lots of fun.
Lots of fun, this song. Mellowdrone's Oh My Since I couldn't find something decent for The Prototypes' Kaleidoscope
Frank Zappa. Montana. Live. What more can I say?

If I've double posted anything, my apologies, but 9 pages is a lot after having gone through the questions for Jeph thread early today. BTW the Death From Above video is sweet, and the Spike Jones thing is awesome and also bizarre.

When metal bands cover ABBA

Video is very well done I think...

Funny you should mention that...

Although this video is very poorly done, the song is still badass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDUUSZkVtg

[CardboardBox]

Yelle is the shit. This video is so cheeky and adorable and full of dance and an uncontrollable breakdown.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LawV-IR6h0 so good!

Posted this elsewhere, but it seems right to post here.

This song is from 1986, the other I recommend is Marcia Baila, from 1984 (I believe).

Did you catch Trent's comments on CD prices in Australia:

I Hate Pachelbel's Canon in D

[muteKi]

Heh, that guy was hilarious.

It reminds me of the way that 90% of rearrangements of Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance as played for graduations are, too. It's not enough that they have no variation, mostly whole notes, but they last FOREVER!

But hey, if it ain't baroque, don't fix it.

Sea Wolf - You're A Wolf

Heard these guys after a recommendation from a guy at a local record store. I'm in love. Good lord. Not the greatest video, but listen to the song!

[pilsner]

Check out this performance of John Cage's 4' 33'' by two random people in some random venue that had never heard of Cage or the piece.  I am posting this more for the youtube comments, which are quite possibly funnier that the performance itself.

I like the song, and the guy singing is the voice actor for the main character on the american dub.

Please don't ask about the Ewoks.

:( Jawa.

[muteKi]

Features what I assume to be the Tek Jansen (animated series) prototype at the end. An excerpt of the full performance, I think.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6QzRzvVLxWM

And the same guys, at least a couple of them (the band has a bit of an Alan Parson Project element to the consistency of its members):

WATCH!! Literally. Watch is the name of the album this promo video was taken from. It's considered one of their best.

[öde]

Devo - Satisfaction.

[muteKi]

Truly one of the most awesome songs ever.

There's also an instrumental jazz deconstruction of the song out there somewhere. Sadly, I don't have it right now.


Most of my musical exposure comes from FIFA, to be honest. Hence I post the following, from what is now the old FIFA.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG7bHdE98lc (certainly not everyone's cup of tea, I kinda like east Asian rap... the backing tracks always strike me as nicer)

[Cenyu]

Don't wanna open a new thread for this and it's roughly fitting... (not...)

Anyone got a clue what the song playing in the background is? Or who's the artist?

Help much appreciated.

Ahmad Jamal Trio - Darn That Dream

I´m not that into music videos. Sigur Rós has got some awesome ones though.
Oh, right...I love the cute fishermen in the "Dashboard" video by Modest mouse:

I love having the single for Saeglopur because it has the video for Hoppipolla, which is probably my favorite music video ever.

Holy fucking shit.

A++++ for technical virtuosity.

It's boring, guys, it's just a guy sitting in a chair playing a crazy modified banjo.  But it gets good.

This is my favorite video ever, and by far the coolest animation concept

Amateur video for Lupe Fiasco / Kanye / Pharrell / Thom Yorke joint "Us Placers". Surprisingly decent.
