Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

If The Goodies were from NYC, this is what they’d be like. It’s an astonishingly cheaply made video, directed by Yauch under his video director pseudonym Nathaniel Hornblower. The sets are made of cardboard, they wobble, and at one point almost fall over. Brilliant stuff.

The Smiths - Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before

It’s Morrissey cycling around Salford with a bunch of Morrissey acolytes, and doesn't our hero look utterly fantastic! It’s easy to forget just how wonderful he looked when at the height of his powers. Such a massive shame that he’s subsequently become such a massive Ladybit.

Kylie Minogue - Come into My World (2002)

Another classic music video directed by Michel Gondry, where each time Kylie Minogue walks round a Paris street scene, another duplicate of her & the other people in the street gets added...

James - Nothing but love

A classic case of wonderful visuals set against shit audio. Best watched with the volume down, or better still play one of your favourite songs over the top of it.

Is this strictly a video?

"Shot in a nondescript alley behind the Savoy Hotel in London, the video for Bob Dylan's “Subterranean Homesick Blues” served as the opening segment for Don't Look Back, D. A. Pennebaker's 1967 documentary of Dylan's first tour through England in 1965."

Whatever, it's great. Oh, and yes, that IS Allen Ginsberg in the background.

It's brilliant.
As is Weird Al's genius homage to it, not just by using palindromes, but rhyming palindromes
