Jack Garratt might be a drowning man, or he might be in the midst of a rebirth as a backfloat daydream leads to something fabulous.

Never thought I'd see a wilder restuarant scene than Sammy's Roumanian on a drunken Friday night, but here it is...

Sparks fly and construction sets the stage for chaos behind Vic Mensa and Kanye West..

A cut-and-paste eye and mouth technique makes this the strangest beauty video ever, but it also serves a practical purpose in concealing identities when the cops show to arrest director Carlos Lopez Estrada and bust this guerilla video shoot.

Permits? We need permits?

Luckily, things get back on track for further twists and turns.

Animation and whimsy abound in this clever homage to both one-take and NSFW videos. The easy explanation of "Black Sail" is "Polygonal people get down during a date night that ends in sweet sweet babymaking love," but it's a lot more wild and fun than that.

Now here's how you make a big song and dance number...

Join Mike Rosenberg aka Passenger as he makes his way down one of the most festive street scenes since Bjork's "It's Oh So Quiet" video.

Screw the usual highway reststop. Here's how it works in a music video:

• Every woman who stops at a roadside bar is unspeakably hot.
• The bar itself is just the right mix of vibey and dangerous.
• The jukebox is spot-on (duh)
• The singer can rock a pair of trousers like nobody's business
• Choreographer dance routines will break out
• The bartender will work his bottle like nobody's business
• There will be cameos (Haim, Jon "Napoleon Dynamite" Heder)
• And Napoleon Dynamite will, of course, walk off with the girl

Got it?
