10 of My Favourite Music Videos

In no particular order...

'Sweet Disposition' - The Temper Trap (2008)

Such an addictive song from a great Australian act. I think there's about 3 versions that go to this song, but this one has to be my favourite.

'Na Na Na (Na Na Na)' and 'Sing' - My Chemical Romance (2010)
 
MCR really have a flair for the dramatic and imaginative comic-style music videos. The album 'Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' takes this up to '11', which is made even more awesome by the fact that they have spawned Killjoy fans the world over - producing their own fan-made works set in the Killljoy!verse.

'Sakura Kiss' - Chieko Kawabe (2006)
A simple, yet fun music video from JPop singer Chieko Kawabe. Just love the frog and bunny costumes running around the city chasing lovey-dovey couples! The song was used as the theme to the Ouran High School Host Club anime.


'Hard Rock Hallelujah' - Lordi (2006)
Winners of Eurovision 2006, Finnish metal/rock band Lordi. Who could forget Mr Lordi's Finnish flag hat and the wings during the live final? Plus this music vid is just awesome. Zombie Cheerleaders, anyone?

'First Date' - blink-182 (2001)
blink-182 have made some pretty fun music videos during their time. Although I like the serious ones too, First Date had me giggling the whole way through!

'Rock the Casbah' - The Clash (1982)
Just fantastic and one of my favourite 'Clash' songs. The skanking Arab and Jew really made the clip though!

'The Last Song' - The All-American Rejects (2003)

The whole if you were the only person in a deserted place and you could do whatever you want thing really makes for a fun video - especially at the ending of this one!

'The Impression That I Get' - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (1997)
Sometimes it is the simplicity that makes a cool music video.

'Edge of Glory' - Lady Gaga (2011)
Love the 80s and nostalgic vibe this music video has.
