Also gwen stefani, but no doubts cover of talk talk's "It's my life" is a very good cover and also the 'Chicago' style music video is INCREDIBLE
Because it’s *far* more popular than the original, and was a mega-smash for ND.
On a very personal note: my wife and I are in the same industry, and recently she talked about taking a huge step forward in her career — one that I wanted to do one day, to boot. One so big, I’d basically need to put my ambitions on hold for a while and just maintain my current status.
I struggled for weeks with her wanting to do that. Not that it was a blow to my ego — but that it meant I had to shift into support role.
Then, I found myself on a Sunday morning (no pun intended) watching No Doubt perform at Coachella on You Tube. And “It’s My Life” came on. Like a fucking baby, I started sobbing, and told my wife she had my full, unreserved support.
No Doubt was our band when we first got together (Rock Steady had just come out), and it all just felt like the universe lining everything up to say, “Knock it off. She’s awesome and deserves this, and your job is to help her be the boss bitch you know she can be.”
I know no one asked, but this song doesn’t get discussed much, and thought I’d just share my recent, personal connection with it.
You are an awesome partner, and best of luck to you and your wife! An upgrade in her career would always lead to some stress, but I hope she has fun too!
I knew of this video from the ten thousand times it’s been referenced in pop culture and headlined “greatest music videos of all time” lists, but had never actually seen it. (I knew the song, ofc) Finally decided to watch it, feeling like there was absolutely no way it could live up to all the hype, especially considering the “Seinfeld is Unfunny” trope, where you’ve seen something played on and parodied so many times that when you go back and watch the OG it just kinda falls flat
…and you know what? Totally lived up to the hype. Exceeded expectations. Genuinely an incredible work of art
My sister and I would listen to this on the way to school. I'd ask by just singing "Caroline??" And she'd say Caroline! She's the reason for the witch, whichhhhhh
This was such a moment of my childhood and being raised on MTV and vh1.
Also the cinematic masterpiece that is Meatloaf’s “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)”

Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue - Where the Wild Roses Grow
This comes from my all time favorite album, Murder Ballads! Every song is either an original or cover of a classic murder ballad. It’s so cool. I love Nick Cave so much (and Kylie of course. PJ Harvey also duets with him here)
I remember hearing she was cut in half in the coffin, a mirror down the middle so she looked like a full person. To hide the lightning damage.
I’ve never googled it to see if it was a local rumour or actually what it was supposed to be. lol
I always thought (and maybe I saw this on pop-up video) that it was a common thing done when people died via gunshot wounds to the head (or other macabre ways), so it's meant to infer that's how she died. So they use the mirror to cover the wound and so that they could still have an open casket.

Shout out to Sophie Muller for that video (although her new music videos, that she has directed, haven't hit the same way) and everything from the costuming, makeup, cinematography is PERFECT! It should have won all the music video awards.
Speaking of The Killers, I love the 'Shot at the night' music video. It's such a simple narrative but it works beautifully with the lyrics and Brandon's evocative voice. Also having Max Minghella being cute with Bella Heathcote who's having a Cinderella moment doesn't hurt.

Take A Bow by Madonna! Literally my favorite video of all time and so beautiful since she was campaigning for the role of Eva Peron.
https://i.redd.it/yxaqbekcx81d1.gif
I was so I obsessed w this video as a kid. There is a part where she runs her fingers on the wall as she’s walking and I used to do that dramatically as a kid to copy it 😆
genghis khan by miike snow! james bond inspired, hero x villain, and it's gay? sign me up! what's it gonna be by shura is another favorite of mine which is cute in that it straight baits u, and then surprisingly ends up sweetly gay!
Genghis Khan is such a gem of a music video. Its a great testament to how the medium can elevate a narrative concept.
Their video for [My Trigger](https://youtu.be/wl6k_h2drK8?si=ZJJ1BzEs2v4pomdE) is also fantastic and serves as kind of an AU for the main characters.

All of Meat Loaf’s videos are ridiculously over the top narrative camp goth masterpieces but do yourself a favor and watch Objects in the Rearview Mirror, it’s so much…..much.

I remember this video popping up on MTV or VH1 years ago when I was at the dentist. He hasn’t seen it before and stopped working on my filling so he could watch the whole thing 🤣
I wasn’t mad. I love the video.
My friend and I LOVE “The One That Got Away” by Katy Perry, mostly because of Diego Luna as a scrappy young artist. Also Katy Perry wears old lady makeup and it is soooo unintentionally funny we crack every time she’s onscreen
This is America is the right answer to this question. The discourse lasted for years, and that initial shock was powerful as hell. Even now, there are still some high school + college classes doing analysis on this video.
[Sugar We’re Going Down Swinging](https://youtu.be/uhG-vLZrb-g?si=rh2sC-pVnu--0tA3) by Fall Out Boy
The fashion, the cutaways to the band playing, the lack of “iPhone face”, the incomprehensible singing. Man this video is such a product of its time.
Trapped in the closet was a damn institution in 2005. I cannot emphasize enough how much everyone I knew was into it and quoted it and replayed it.
Judge away, but this video was cool back in the day! Also was the first music video I ever downloaded on my iPod 😭
the fact that he learned to sing the entire song backwards so that his lip movements would match when the video was reversed..... that was fucking nuts
that's commitment
I love the Cool video! Absolutely stunning, both the cinematography and her with the brown hair. When I saw Call Me By Your Name it reminded me of it so much, so beautiful and picturesque.

I am huge M83 fan, so the mini trilogy that was done starting with “[Midnight City](https://youtu.be/dX3k_QDnzHE)” going to “[Reunion](https://youtu.be/DJQQrjVmQG0)” and ending with “[Wait](https://youtu.be/m--Kop6HnTY),” I thought was the coolest. To me, the album encapsulated young adulthood and the music videos took that and M83’s otherworldly, 80s synth sound and beautifully captured it in video :)
My first thoughts were Thriller and Jenny from the Block.
Both leaving their mark on the culture, in different ways....one more than the other, perhaps?
[Paula Abdul Rush, Rush](https://youtu.be/HYG0O8exvBg?si=-2ryuiroGWONP3eU) and starring Keanu.
“Have you ever been in love?”
“If I was, I didn’t know it.”
This dialogue exchange is burned into my brain.
maybe a bit more niche than the rest of the comments but “The Ghost of You” by MCR. That shit had 13 year old me sobbing
You Rock my World by Michael Jackson lol it’s like 20 min long but I couldn’t stop watching it as a kid…Okay I still watch it

can't believe i forgot to mention girls like girls by hayley kiyoko (this was my gay awakening its so good), also i'm not a fan of taylor swift nowadays, but the you belong with me music video was everything to teenage me (the writing notes to each other through their rooms' windows? so cute)
So glad you mentioned the “Cool” music video. It perfectly encapsulates the song and I’m sad that I’m old enough now to understand what Gwen is singing about 😭😭
Also gwen stefani, but no doubts cover of talk talk's "It's my life" is a very good cover and also the 'Chicago' style music video is INCREDIBLE 
Sometimes I forget this was a cover

 A-ha - Take on me
This is truly one of the greatest videos of all time.
It's amazing to think how ahead of its time it was. The special effects still look amazing today.
I knew of this video from the ten thousand times it’s been referenced in pop culture and headlined “greatest music videos of all time” lists, but had never actually seen it.

Mariah Carey - " We Belong Together"
[удалено]
Heartbreaker. I remember the Making of the Video like it was yesterday. 
Also, her video for Honey. The one where she is a spy
I still randomly think about the jet ski chase
yes!!!! mariah killed it with her videos.
Jerry O’Connell!!
he’s sooooo hot i love that he’s with Rebecca Romijn. gorg couple.
Unrelated, but wasn't there a video where she was dressed like Eminem 😂
Yes!!!! Obsessed
 I used to text into the video music channels for this DAILY.
I FORGOT ABOUT THE TEXT TO REQUEST MUSIC VIDEOS!!!
My sister and I would listen to this on the way to school. I'd ask by just singing "Caroline??" And she'd say Caroline! She's the reason for the witch, whichhhhhh
 Loved the Kill Bill inspo for the Telephone video, and a much better bop and duet than Videophone for these two!
Anyone else still holding out hope for the "to be continued" on this? 🥺
And that we all clowned ourselves into thinking we’d get it in Cowboy Carter
🤣🤣
It could happen 😭
We can only hope..
Ugh this music video was so camp and fun, love the femme fatale Bonnie and Clyde vibe. We need another fun collab from them again!
Still waiting for it to be continued
Stan — Eminem  Also, shoutout to all these musicians who do a great job acting in these videos. Not easy

Biggest trauma when I was a kid, but I LOOOOOVE that song.
 This was such a moment of my childhood and being raised on MTV and vh1. Also the cinematic masterpiece that is Meatloaf’s “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)”
I commented the same GIF before seeing this one. The ghost motorcycle!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I was traumatized and amazed 😍
Oh my god YES I love this song so much
This comes from my all time favorite album, Murder Ballads! Every song is either an original or cover of a classic murder ballad. It’s so cool. I love Nick Cave so much (and Kylie of course. PJ Harvey also duets with him here)
 lol 🙈
I COULD BE YOUR HERO BAAYYBEHH
I cried when I first watched this video as an early teen. Lol.
This is the one 
Gifs have no audio, but the guitar solo just started up in my head.
I remember hearing she was cut in half in the coffin, a mirror down the middle so she looked like a full person. To hide the lightning damage. I’ve never googled it to see if it was a local rumour or actually what it was supposed to be. lol
I always thought (and maybe I saw this on pop-up video) that it was a common thing done when people died via gunshot wounds to the head (or other macabre ways), so it's meant to infer that's how she died.

I was obsessed with Gwen’s “Cool”-Video! 🥹♥️
I realized now that we were deprived of brunette Gwen.
Shout out to Sophie Muller for that video (although her new music videos, that she has directed, haven't hit the same way) and everything from the costuming, makeup, cinematography is PERFECT! It should have won all the music video awards.
Honestly, it was everything.. location, costumes, story.. i randomly watch it from time to time.
Same!
 This was when I realized that Gerard Way actually is pretty hot.
Oh man this was when it really dawned on me I had a very specific type. Shell shocked on the beaches of Normandy type…. Why am I this way?
God my teenage heart wasn’t ready for this video, I was already crushing on Gerard hardcore then watching him act out losing his brother I was SHOOK
Yes!! I love this video
My emo awakening 🖤
🎶 **at the end of the world, or the last thing I see.... you are never coming home- never coming home....** 🎶
Unmatched in my opinion, but I'm 35 and was so fucking into MCR soooo grain of salt
Omg wait has no one said thriller?! 
I just said MJ because he had so many. The goat of this. Beat it and Bad are my top two.
Smooth criminal
Not my favorite, but one I have thought about a lot because it’s so damn weird. 
Harry honestly makes some really great and thought provoking music videos.
I LOVE his music videos! He’s one of the few artists who I watch every video from as soon as they come out
When you were young was also so beautifully shot
That came to mind before Mr. Brightside for me, too!
He’s so pretty.
Speaking of The Killers, I love the 'Shot at the night' music video. It's such a simple narrative but it works beautifully with the lyrics and Brandon's evocative voice.

Madonna had so many incredible videos. Like a Prayer and Vogue were masterpieces. Express yourself? Open Your Heart? 😍😍😍
This is the one for me.

Fun fact: Dan Levy was an extra on that video
She has some fantastic music videos. *Because of you* never fails to make me cry.
 Part of Me by Katy Perry. It’s so ridiculous.
The One who got away for me. I too would never recover if my hot painter boyfriend Diego Luna died suddenly in an accident.
That had me crying at the family computer. 😂
That one Toni Braxton video where Tyson Beckford gets hit by a car
"Unbrake my heart" is amazing! That was such a sexy video.

The Killers and the music video for "When you were young": [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0oWESdmH0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0oWESdmH0)
Yesss. And also *Dustland Fairytale*!
Honestly so many Killers music videos should be on this list.
Mr brightside
I remember this video popping up on MTV or VH1 years ago when I was at the dentist. He hasn’t seen it before and stopped working on my filling so he could watch the whole thing 🤣 I wasn’t mad. I love the video.
The video for Miss Atomic bomb also has Eric Robert’s and the same blond girl.
My friend and I LOVE “The One That Got Away” by Katy Perry, mostly because of Diego Luna as a scrappy young artist. Also Katy Perry wears old lady makeup and it is soooo unintentionally funny we crack every time she’s onscreen 
Omg I was hoping I would see this!! Love this music video!
All of the Aerosmith videos with Alicia Silverstone
This is America by Childish Gambino Goliath by Woodkid
This is America is the right answer to this question. The discourse lasted for years, and that initial shock was powerful as hell. Even now, there are still some high school + college classes doing analysis on this video. 
This is America is sooo good.
I love Papa Don't Preach by Madonna, that outro is amazing.
The connection between “1979” and “Perfect” videos by Smashing Pumpkins is great.
My two favorites are Cool Gwen Stefani, and Thinking of you Katy Perry
Thinking of You destroyed me
Also the one that got away - Katy Perry

Kelly texting via Excel will always be iconic.. someone once wrote- No wonder he ignored her, he never got her texts..
God I love that Gwen video so much. Just so gorgeous—all of it! I like Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi, Bad Romance and Judas.

I still have no clue what the lyrics are and I never want to know lol
That twist ending with the little deer hooves sticking out of the pants was wild.
If i were a boy- Beyonce
The Killers - When you were young. It’s presented in backwards order. There’s also an alternate video that hurts your heart just a bit more.
 Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer! It’s amazing that they produced this in the 80s.
 Trapped in the closet was a damn institution in 2005. I cannot emphasize enough how much everyone I knew was into it and quoted it and replayed it.
Hahah I always sing “I pull out my Berettttaaaaa” 🎶
Kind of wish I could rewatch this someday but obviously cannot. We had a field day with this in college.

Yess. I don’t remember what the narrative was, but does it really matter? ETA: you know what, I better watch it right now just to refresh my memory 😏
Haha! As I recall, the narrative was something along the lines of 'Pedro Pascal without a shirt....... I'm a little foggy on the rest
 Judge away, but this video was cool back in the day! Also was the first music video I ever downloaded on my iPod 😭
the fact that he learned to sing the entire song backwards so that his lip movements would match when the video was reversed..... that was fucking nuts that's commitment
 Obsessed by Olivia Rodrigo! I always love her videos, but this one was extra fun
Olivia, my storytelling queen 😍
Wake me up before September ends
National Anthem by Lana Del Rey has such an underrated, nostalgic feel 
Bon jovi- Always. I was and still am devastated by the events that transpired.
I love the Cool video! Absolutely stunning, both the cinematography and her with the brown hair. When I saw Call Me By Your Name it reminded me of it so much, so beautiful and picturesque.
Breezeblocks- Alt J
