I’ll start: November Rain
I’m always impressed by a music video that can “yes, and” the song it was made for - one that feels like it was created as an extension or an exploration of the song, rather than an expression of the vibes (though, don’t get me wrong, I’m all about the vibes too). I love that this video tells a clear story and puts a pretty fun twist on the lyrics while it does.
Bonus: The actors seem like they were having a blast during filming.
I… I think I just got Rickrolled by my own brain.
Take on Me - Aha
Money For Nothing - Dire Straits. All-time classic. 80s CGI knows no comparison. 😩👌
You made me rickroll myself. Never Gonna Give You Up is so iconic online, how could it not be the first thing that comes to mind?
Second one that came to mind was Somebody That I Used To Know.
Frankly, I don’t watch music videos, so internet memes are the majority of my exposure to them.
Literally this - the very first thing that I thought, was well it’s obviously going to Never Going to Give you up - before I could even actively start thinking of any other music video, like Zombies for example (it’s been on YouTube a lot recently because of people reacting to it).
