Well done music videos, a break from all the misery in the news

Another fave of mine.. bit pretetious maybe so such a mooving song...

That's not in the spirit of what I meant. sad face.

I guess a thread like this will always end up being a Spike Jonz and Michel Gondry playlist  - nice to get in first through

Love a Salvatore gannacci video, don't be fooled by the fact he's punching an old lady.....

Not sure it gets us away from misery

Let's keep it nice and crazy, in a good way...

I'm not sure my general musical tastes cover a break from misery but this still makes me smile for sending up just about every boy band in a 5 minute song.

And the classic Utah saints...

In one take...

Plain weird, but I like the tune:

Not sure what this one is about, but again, for me, a top tune:

Plain weird, but I like the tune:

I'd forgotten about that..top dance track...top shelf!

the blink-182 behind the scenes on that vid is also much happiness

Anything by OK Go, but this one was my first and maybe still my favourite:

Can't beat a good dance

Dance you say?

This always makes me smile ( shame that the film quality of the Nickolas brothers is lacking)

First, the video that made me go out and buy a drum kit last month.

and then some other likes

sledgehammer

travelling without moving

cloudbusting

By the way

How many horror film links can you spot?

Not sure whether this is a break from.the misery as it's fairly remorselessly bleak, but it is very well done.

Also, if you like Jeremy Fish's art, this ones a must

Joyous

OMG, Lorn on STW?! Nice one @hatter *thumbsup*

Bit of hyper-pop from lovely Lalka. Bit biased on this one cos I got a credit at the end from providing images 😀

and

finally

As per defblade.. ok go video's taking some beating, my favourite:

I like this one from Beck a lot too

More Aphex, one old, one new

Another vote for most of OK GO'S video. Lord knows how they make any money from their trade as they must spend most of it on the videos!

Definitely worth looking up the behind the scenes/how they did it video for the Upside down & inside out linked above.

Not a typical music video as the music is  a mix / medley of a whole album rather than a single - a collaboration between the Avalanches and video artist Soda Jerk who cuts/splices/layers film and video samples in the same way that the Avalanches layer and blend samples

Craziness!

Still one of my favourites, both as a song and as a video:

And if I want something to make me smile:

Viagra Boys do some decent videos, this is one of my favourites

Thanks to Kayak and DezB for putting me on to this crowd

This one always makes me smile.

A great summer anthem that never was...

Ren - Money Game Part 3 (Official Music Video) (youtube.com)[youtube

There can only be one winner!

And my kids tell me this is a brilliant one-take video:

I see loads of music videos that bring a smile to my face in this thread.

This one always makes me happy just because its people having fun

Sugar Water by Cibo Matto. The video is truly ace, with the added bonus of the song being a stone cold 90s chillout classic

For an artistically beautiful one, Lilac Wine by The Cinematic Orchestra is pretty good

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_w-xms9h0Dc

And if you like hard French techno, pretty much anything by KAS:ST is accompanied by amazing video

Not strictly speaking Music videos, but two youtube classics that still make me smile.

Levanna the Northern Soul dancing Girl.

Non- stop's original Pumped up kicks video, IMO still one of the best examples of its type on the internet.

Also not a promo video. But a fine demonstration of the gentle art of theramin playing by Jon Spencer

I know we've had Fatboy Slim already. He had some great videos, but this is probably my fave vid evah

The original  version , strictly got  nothing on these two;
