Animated Music Videos

In my youth, I used to watch MTV (back when they actually played music videos and not shows like A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila). My favorite videos were the ones that involved animation. They could play a video for a band I despised, but I’d sit through the whole video to watch the animation. I’m not a big Peter Gabriel fan, but I’d watch “Sledgehammer” so I could witness a steam train circle around his head and claymation bumper cars crash into his neck.

Here are some of my favorite animated music videos:

Zero 7 – Destiny

The Shins – Pink Bullets

Chad Vangaalen – Clinically Dead

A-Ha – Take On Me

And here’s a list of other animated music videos I thought I should mention:

• The White Stripes – Fell In Love With A Girl
• Blur – Coffee & TV
• Dire Straits – Money For Nothing
• The Decemberists – Los Angeles, I’m Yours
• Rilo Kiley – It’s A Hit
• The New Pornographers – Myriad Harbour
• Of Montreal – Wrath Pined To The Mist
• Radiohead – Paranoid Android
• Gorillaz – Clink Eastwood (Because of this music video I became interested in Gorillaz & I discovered Jamie Hewlett)
• Ween – Transdermal Celebration

Question: What are some of your favorite animated music videos?

Sometimes, co-workers like to stick PLU stickers on their faces. Sometimes, produce managers disapprove of such behavior.
