Hi all,
I'm thinking of adding a video jukebox capability to my cabinet and was looking for a few more reasons to convince myself. So I'm after your favourite video clips, ones that were somehow unique, that really grabbed your attention. They can be funny, thought provoking, morbid, hypnotic or just plain freakin weird.
Ones that I've come up with so far are
Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity.
OK Go - Here it goes again.
Cake - Short Skirt.
Michael Jackson - Black or White.
I'm sure you get the idea. Any personal favs?
Cheers.
-
Blur - Coffee & TV
-
Herbie Hancock - Rock it (I think that's the name)
Dire Straits - Money for nothing.
Art of noise - Forget the name, but they go around smashing ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- with hammers. Always good fun.
-
a-ha - take me on
metallica - enter sandman
daft punk - all the ones from discovery
-
Tom Petty - You Don't Know How It Feels
-
Thanks people. I've checked a few of these out on YouTube and they're exactly what I was after.
Cheers.

BigDumbFace- Duke Lion (hilarious)

One word, and one word only:
T-H-R-I-L-L-E-R
-
Mi-Sex - Computer Games (relive classic arcade games like Star Wars)
see if you get get the north shore pony club version of this as well
-
Cake - Short Skirt.
LOL Love Cake!
How about:
Motley Crue - Too Young to fall in love
for pure 80's goofy dystopia with ninja moves. Kind of Blade Runner meets... uh... Motley Crue
[youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln9euS0G8-A[/youtube]
Don Henley - Boys of Summer
I always dug this video. B/W stylized.. Would be a nice pairing with "Wicked Game"
[youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuNQkotmGvk[/youtube]
A-Ha - Take on Me
Not really a favorite of mine, but it did have that real life to cartoon thing going on
[youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIzUD7FKcBk[/youtube]
Van Halen - Hot For Teacher
A classic, sexy, and kind of a funny video with midget versions of the band (or maybe they were just kids)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5t5GukrWOU[/youtube]
And on that note, how about
Van Halen - Right Now
where they did that cool text stuff. I think this was made by an advertising agency, but I really liked it.
[youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCkQZOnCN3k[/youtube]
Gary Numan - cars
If you're into techno and old skool MTV, this is one of many minimalist vid from those early days. Has some great compositing effects, watch for the tambourine! :)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP2h16m8X1Y[/youtube]
And I'll wrap it up with Devo - Whip It, for a humorous diversion

One word, and one word only:
T-H-R-I-L-L-E-R
Got It.
Love It.
Dance It.
Smooth Criminal is another personal fave. I used to like BAD! but then Weird Al went and did it 10x better.
And on that note, how about Van Halen - Right Now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCkQZOnCN3k) where they did that cool text stuff.
Another excellent clip. Although now I prefer an anime version done by doki doki productions. Same concept, very similar text, but all video is taken from anime movies and TV series. Pure genius.

How could you have missed this...
William Shatner - Rocket Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvQwXOCKNLY)

:o But...... but....... I only want to entertain my guests. Not scar them for life. Dear God what was that?

They don't have too many videos available, but no jukebox is complete without The Verlaines. This is "Pyromaniac" from their 1984 EP "10 O'Clock in the Afternoon."

..and The Chills. Is 'Pink Frost' the greatest pop song ever written? I dunno, but it must be in the top 100.

..and The Clean. That's it, any more posts from me and this'll have to be moved to a new thread on New Zealand 80's music : )

Begged for consolation and I got none, I haven't the motivation to get myself a gun
Looked for an answer in empty doorways, talked to a dancer said its out of our? ways,
Well, here I am in the big city, I got not heart and I got no pity
Can't you see I'm on the run, can't you see I not having any fun.
Chorus
Anything could happen and it could be right now, and the choice is yours, to/so make it worthwhile (x2)
Went to a Dr, said I work so hard, with a smile on his face pointed me to a junkyard, Looked for an answer in empty doorways, talked to a dancer said its out of our? ways,
Well come on Dr, won't you give me a shot, I'm feeling cold boy, I'm feeling hot,
Dr said no boy, you gotta learn, first don't shootup, and then miss? your turn.
Chorus
Anything could happen and it could be right now, and the choice is yours, to/so make it worthwhile (x2)
