A few days ago we had a submission to the database that was a sort of remake of "Smack My Bitch Up" by The Prodigy. We weren't able to add it to the database, unfortunately, since its an unofficial video, but here it is if you would like to check… Read More

Happy labor day everyone. We would be on the couching watching "Summer Eleven" on Netflix, but seeing as the crew here at IMVDb basically have fake jobs we made up, we figured we might as well be doing those fake jobs. Speaking of doing things, did you guys ever watch… Read More

Today's music video relapse is going to be a weird one. Earlier this morning I was reading about Hyon Song-wol, one of the performers reportedly executed by firing squad a few days ago in North Korea. This is of course terrible and sad, just like most things in North Korea.… Read More

Facebook isn't really known as a video site, but today Jay Z and Justin Timberlake made music video history by premiering the video for "Holy Grail" on Jay Z's Facebook page.

One thing I hear a lot is people are bored of performance music videos. "Performance video" is almost a derogatory term, like store brand. The thing is, performance videos can be amazing videos, your artist just needs to be worthy of being looked at. Get a bunch of teenagers together… Read More

I don't think you really lived through the late 90s/early 00s unless you attended some sort of gathering where someone made a video montage of pictures to "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day. They of course didn't edit out the beginning of the song, so you had… Read More

Remember the band in Step Brothers that was playing at the Catalina Wine Mixer? Uptown Girl? Horatio Sanz, playing the lead singer of the band, claims they only play 80s Billy Joel songs as the crowd calls for obstensibly non-80s songs like "We Didn't Start The Fire". If we want… Read More

At first we heard that 'N Sync were going to reunite for an appearance on the VMAs, and then we heard that they were not and it was just a rumor. This may or may not be a big deal to you, but it does give us a good reason… Read More

Now that Lady Gaga has released the first music video for her third album, we are officially cleared to get nostalgic about early Lady Gaga. Remember The Fame before it was The Fame Monster? Back when every song came with its own little Gaga pesudo rap in the middle for… Read More

So here's a question: What is the most watched music video by a black solo artist? If you guessed something by Jay Z or maybe Rihanna, you'd be wrong. It's actually "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj, #21 on our top videos of all time chart. "Super Bass" is Minaj's top… Read More

First music videos for artists are difficult - the artist needs to be introduced to an entire market via one concept, and the video can often stick in the public's head as their mental image for that artist. For instance, if you think about the Spice Girls, I think about… Read More

In "Replay", Zendaya's first single off of her upcoming album, the singer/dancer/actress walks into an empty, dingy dance studio and starts dancing by herself. As the song progresses, we see her in two fanicer stage setups - one set up in her dance studio, and another stage set in a… Read More

If you are compiling a list of music video performances that look like they were really uncomfortable to shoot, I've got a great entry for you. It's the tune that I think is one of the most fondly-remembered singles of the late 1990s by rock fans - 1998's "Inside Out"… Read More

Hey remember Duffy? Back in 2008 or so Duffy and Adele were kind of a "wave" (do two people constitute a wave?) of ladies from Europe who had strong voices and one name. Adele had "Chasing Pavements" and Duffy had "Mercy". Adele was from London and Duffy was super Welsh… Read More

Hey you want to know something weird? Before today I'd never seen a John Mayer music video. Not even one one, and I don't really know how that happened. It's not like I'm not a John Mayer fan - when I saw him in concert in 2002 he couldn't even… Read More

Music videos are sometimes just a good excuse to do some really weird stuff. I'm not talking about the stuff that is overtly and self-conciously odd, I'm more thinking about the stuff that, when you are watching it, you go "wow this is weird". So since it's Monday, we might… Read More

Super groups come in all shapes in sizes, but there is only one super group that can get away with song titles like "Sex Never Felt Better", and that is TGT, a group made up of Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank. Their latest video, directed by Benny Boom and for their… Read More
