What I am about to say may shock you, but generally people enjoy sexy ladies in workout gear. Remember "Asphyxiation" by Autoerotique with the dodgeball and the underboob? What about Sleepwalker by Moon Duo? Of course, there is also the granddaddy of them all - "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John. But… Read More

Nickelback is band that is a victim of the internet's habit of taking easy jokes and magnifying them to a ridiculous degree. In my mind, Dave Matthews Band should have been the big punchline band of the 00s, but for some reason Nickelback became the group that morning zoo hosts… Read More

Holy cow, you guys, what a week for music videos. So much cool stuff to talk about, starting first, of course, with Miley Cyrus and her video for "Wrecking Ball," directed by Terry Richardson. Everyone and their mom knew about this video (literally - my mom came up to me on… Read More

The lines of what is a music video and what isn't get blurred a lot. (You might say there are ... blurred lines. tee hee.) For instance, Flight of the Conchords have made songs that have been released on albums and have made visuals to go along with those songs,… Read More

There is something to be said for following through on something. For instance, if you make a song that is a non-stop cacophonous onslaught from beginnng to end, I consider it good follow-through to make a music video that goes just as hard. Such is the arrangement with "Make 'Em… Read More

We spend a lot of time on our data over at IMVDb. Many hours a day are spent by us and our contributor team finding videos, verifying credits, and making sure IMVDb is as complete as possible. We also have thousands of contributions from users - things like a single… Read More

Colin Tilley has made a name for himself by perfecting the art of the performance first video. However, in "Big Dipper" by The Cataracs, he takes that perfect performance atmosphere and makes it the location for a really high energy narrative video. We start with Niles "Cyranizzy" Hollowell-Dhar, of The… Read More

In the new video for "Honest", the first single off of Future's 2nd album (also titled Honest), Future is doing pretty well for himself, living in a giant mansion with Letoya Luckett.

"Indie Cindy" by Pixies, directed by LAMAR+NIK, is a narrative video that mixes camera sources and moves forward and backwards through time. The video is the second collaboration between the band and the directing duo, and like their previous collaboration, "Bagboy," it is a lot darker than most of the… Read More

The story of Tally Hall is an interesting one. A band out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, they gained a pretty sizable following in the midwest in the mid-late 2000s with their music as well as their comedy and the fact that they all wore colored ties. After releasing an album… Read More

Shot in Washington DC and set in an ornate mansion complete with a golden throne, "We Been On" by Rich Gang featuring R. Kelly does a great job highlighting how awesome your life is after several years of success in the hip-hop industry. Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, "We Been… Read More

Director Elliott Sellers has been on a roll this year. He’s established a style that combines beautiful live action footage with perfectly placed visual effects, like in the video for "Heart Heart Head" by Meg Myers.

Perhaps your've heard that Micheal Jackson has made some really famous music videos, and perhaps you've seen some of them.

Anyone who was upset about the Miley Cyrus VMA performance last month might as well just look away now (this means you Mika Brzezinski) because it was nothing compared to Miley’s new video for "Wrecking Ball," directed by Terry Richardson. Throughout the video, Miley is seen wielding a sledgehammer, laying… Read More

Do you ever wish you could go back to the horror section of a 1995 Blockbuster Video and find wall-to-wall VHS copies of campy horror films that you’ve never heard of? Well with "Evil Eye" by Franz Ferdinand, directed by Diane Martel, you can get pretty close. The video is… Read More

If there's one thing we don't really ever need to see more of in music videos, it's people listening to a song on headphones and reacting. Probably the most famous example of this is 2001's "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by Cake, and there are many, many less well-known examples. It's a… Read More

The Ladies of G.R.L. are in a tough spot in "Vacation", their new music video. Some dudes are staying at the G.R.L. house, and these dudes are anything but good housemates. They are the messiest cereal pourers ever, shave and leave hairs all over the bathroom sink, and just play… Read More

Here we are, gang, at the end of another week of music videos. As predicted by Nostradamus, Katy Perry’s "Roar," directed by Grady Hall and Mark Kudsi, was the most popular video released this week, with more than 5 and a half million views in 24 hours. "The Fox," the… Read More
