    Oooh! Now that is a challenge! And a great choice, @Nick! I love that version.

    (note to self: be nice this week, Slightly. Be nice!)

    I am going to be very staid, but this video had a huge impact on me, way back when. Still a fantastic song, but the first time I encountered stereo in a video.

    Bohemian Rhapsody.

        The Muppets are just effing brilliant, such consistency over many decades, I laughed when Beaker did his “Me,me,me, me” part!

    1. Papi

      I’ve listened to that song for years and only just now saw the video, unbelievable, thanks.

      1. Rosette of Sirius

        I mean most of their videos are mad. Check out Frank Sinatra for example. But this one is just so blooming entertaining…..

        There’s an awful lot of weird vids out there that aren’t any good. I love an interesting vid and the Avalanches do that for me with this one!

          1. V

            Stockard Channing and in this house it’s always chocolate cake for breakfast

            Thanks Slightly
            She’s one of my favourites

          2. Slightly Bemused

            Ms Channing is one of the world’s great actresses that never got the recognition she deserved :)

            Glad you enjoyed, V :)

            I don’t steal and I don’t lie
            But I can feel and I can cry
            A fact I bet you never kneeeewww
            But to cry in front of yooouuu

            That’s the worst thing I could doooo

    Some of the usual suspects will include a lot of Whacko Jacko efforts, Thriller being the most obvious.
    Also, Fatboy Slim has had some brilliant videos, the best being Praise You and Weapon of Choice.

    Recently, Childish Gambino has tore it all up. The shock factor in This Is America is outstanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY

    My choice is Tame Impala’s, The Less I Know The Better from a few years ago, really funny stuff and a cracking tune.

    Massive Attack, Unfinished Sympathy. Utterly original at the time, and hugely influential since. A great idea brilliantly realised in one shot. Great song, with the fabulous Shara Nelson stealing the show. Vividly remember being blown away the first time I saw/heard it. Timeless.

  4. f_lawless

    The psychedelic animation that is Panda Bear – Boys Latin

    What’s it all about? Maybe something about how our bodies play host to countless microorganisms? Is it about sex? A metaphor about the interconnectedness of all living things? Someone joked in the comment section “and that’s how gay couples adopt children” (although I think the video is probably meant to depict a man and woman)

  5. Otis Blue

    The wonderfully on-point and allusive verbal whirlwind of Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues. Oft imitated but never bettered.

    https://youtu.be/MGxjIBEZvx0

    The footage as taken from the brilliant DA Pennebaker documentary Don’t Look Back and subsequently recast as a video. Bonus marks for featuring beat poet Allen Ginsberg.

    1. Slightly Bemused

      I am not a fan of Sinead, but that has to rate as one of the most incredible performances of all time!

  6. Eileen O Flaherty

    Has to be Ian Brown-F.E.A.R

    what a song-the lyrics are amazing in their simplicity and honetsy..and the video is perfect

    Finding everything and realising
    For everything a reason

  7. Will

    Great question and I think you’ve probably chosen the best answer. So many from Radiohead or Massive Attack but…

    I’ll go with George Michael’s Freedom ‘90, gorgeously shot, groundbreaking by not featuring the artist and single-handedly inventing the concept of the supermodel.
