A funny, freewheeling, self-aware French New Wavish anti-video — with a bit of The End of the F***ing World edge — with Selena Gomez starting a great relationship with my favorite pickup line, "Do you want to steal a car?"
A video that captures the chaos of our time, starting with online clips of racism, violence and other awfulness, and then transitioning to middle-section with audio of Mike Tyson, and then a defiant dance performance.
Pharrell Williams resurrects his groundbreaking group N.E.R.D. with this collabo with Rihanna, who makes a hair razing (see what I did there?) cameo at the beginning before we follow our newly shorn dancer on a popping routine.
Best music video dance battle since the Beat It knife fight? Join Feist (and Jarvis Cocker!) under the overpass for a jittery, yet graceful and surreally beautiful face-off that might hint at the origins of existance.
In which our wandering hero hits the city and finds love, only to wind up exactly where he started. Oh, did I mention he's got a dismembered head along for the journey?
Sometimes your mind starts to wander when you're stuck in traffic, but so does Travie McCoy who finds himself in a circular and increasingly bizarre and bombastic journey to see what's further on up the road.
Try not to guess the plot in “The Swimmer" — LeBlanc + Cudmore’s super-stylish punk whatever video, until you’ve watched it two or three times — the video is more a pastiche than a strictly plot-driven affair. And quite the pastiche it is! Watch as a guy gets baptised, slapped and beaten-up while taking breaks to enjoy the television or watch some kids dancing.
If "Left Hand Free" is the closest Alt-J will get to beer commercial guitar, then this video is the closest they'll get to a bro's and ho's pool party. Of course, there's a twist, with sly hints at incoming danger eventually descending into assault rifle madness.
This is like the 2001 of weird indie videos. And I mean that as a compliment. And as a way to get out of describing what happens and what it all means here...
