Come now, DJ Snake Turn Down for What makes no sense but is amazing.
That's a lot of fun. I'm gonna go with: guy gets infected with a restless virus that makes body parts indestructible. Transmission is spread through breaking floors and body slamming people. Once it exhausts its hosts it lives on that guys dick. 10/10
'twas directed by the guys behind Everything Everywhere All At Once
A lot of movie directors start with commercials and music videos. It is training for making long videos by making a lot of short ones.
Michael Jackson's Speed Demon is ultra weird.
Dating myself a bit, but Men Without Hats " Safety Dance" is a clear indicator of how much cocaine was consumed in the 80s.
Hah, that music video is genuinely a pretty accurate depiction of your average England village’s May Day celebrations. I went to one this year, got drunk watching old men skipping about while wearing bells, kids tying up a pole with ribbon, folk band (minus the fabulous Mike Edmonds as seen is this video) playing fiddle and more, sitting around on a bunch of straw bales, and cuddled a goat kid while my dog obsessed over a Shetland pony until my partner told us to go home.
You're dating yourself? That doesn't seem healthy.

Telephone by Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce. The song is about not answering your phone in the club because you're dancing. The video is about Beyonce breaking Gaga out of prison and then tracking down and murdering an ex boyfriend. It also has some top tier crazy Gaga costumes including a set of shades made of lit cigarettes. Good track if you like dance-pop as well!
you should check this out too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11CKOAQDsbg
That is absolutely amazing, I love it! I really hope Gaga has seen this
Lone Digger by Caravan Palace. It's about a murder-brawl at an animal strip club.
Love it - it's like if Zootopia was more honest about it's seedy underbelly
Also, Mr. FEAR by SIAMÉS has a nice animation about an alien (?) and a human merging to make a larger alien (?).
People punch animals. Animals helpless. Man save animals by breaking into houses with his shoe car.
Half boy, half motorbike. Travels the world to meet the half girl, half jetski.
Really anything from this guy
I have questions. I'm not sure what those questions are yet, but I definitely have some
Salvatore is great! I've watched every single video he made I could find on YouTube. Step-Grandma and Take Me to America are amazing as well.
Lotta 90's stuff comes to mind:
Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Not 90's but:
DJ Shadow/Run the Jewels -Nobody Speak
First ones that come to mind.
That RTJ video is one of the few I've loved since it released.
Then, I discovered Kendrick Lamar had made a video for Alright. Wow.
- I didn't see it until 2018.
I like music videos as a genre. Anyone know if there's a good community/reddit sub/yt channel for them?
!musicvideos@lemmy.world exists, but isn't active. I also have my community !musicsync@lemmy.blahaj.zone but that's a particular niche that I'm not sure if anyone else is interested in, haha. I wish there was somewhere better to discuss music videos but I haven't found such a place either.
That isn't even, imo, the weirdest Basement Jaxxs video - I'd give that crown to Where's Your Head At
However, I think the HK Slap is also incredibly weird.
I've always been puzzled by the Stabbing Westward video Shame. It features a fairly disturbing plot of a woman and her boyfriend who escaped from an insane asylum. However, the portions where the band is playing are completely contrary to the "plot" of the video and almost comical.
More fan made, but the combo is killer: mukinabaht with nature will have unintended consequences. Boards of Canada with a trippy french animation, the two feel made for each other.
When a strip tease goes just a bit too far.
This actually gave me nightmares as a child and I was only recently brave enough to watch it again after finding a behind-the-scenes on it on YouTube to squash my fears
Everlong was pretty wild
"When I get mad, my hand gets huge."
Honorable mention to Ludacris' Get Back for also using the big arm thing (though the video matches the song in this case)

It's visual commentary on society itself, as well as how fucked this system we've all built is to both our inner & outer nature.
Are these media systems self-sustaining? Aren't apples the symbol of knowledge? Or will our inner animalism escape, in spite of the processed knowledge, given even the slightest chance?
Might be reading into it too much, though.
Meteor worshipping cult you say

Their website is still up btw. Wild shit but a cool 90's website. Pretty chilling though
Especially this
Portugal. The Man’s video for All Your Light is freaking weird. Complete with human heads in shopping bags, trailer parks, and what I think are aliens.
I do not know about the weirdest, but Quiet Riot’s The Wild and The Young video is pretty out there.
The government bans and confiscates all music, and locks up musicians with their instruments and outfits in an underground bunker, where the musicians "cunningly" use these resources to sing in protest, but wait it's actually a premonition for something that hasn't happened yet and time loops itself. Pretty cool
The darkness - i believe in a thing called love.
Hes on an alien planet in a hot tub playing guitar and shooting lighting out of the guitar. Still a good song though.
She's not gonna pick you up, Phil, she's just stopping for the iguana.
Phil can't dance, so maybe that is the reason why he's being blatantly ignored by the pretty lady.

Einstürzende Neubauten - Sabrina, maybe not the weirdest, but weird enough to have stuck with me for the past 20 years
This isn't that weird but a wolf and a bear are investigating another planet and come across these sexy pixies only for them to turn into robots that attempt to harvest their organs once they've all had a mad night on the booze.
