1. Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice
Yes, that's Christopher Walken. Just doing his thing. He's actually a trained dancer, you know.
2. Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
I'm not sure just why I love this video, but I do. Probably some symbolic synergy of the Rorschach, that combination of surrealism, symmetry, symbolism, subjectivity, and psychology, all things that strike chords of mine. What do you see in it?
3. Biting Elbows - Bad Motherfucker
Innovation will get you everywhere. This is actually a sequel to the video for their song The Stampede.
4. Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal
With all the publicity he got later for his appearance, habits, and Peter Pan syndrome, some people forget why he was called the King of Pop. Just look at those moves. Thriller gets a mention as well, but although more ambitious, it's as much a short film as a music video, and Smooth Criminal just takes the cake for the style.
5. Dead or Alive - Spin Me Round
Odds are you've heard this song, but the music video makes it so much better. This just may be one of the best dances of all time, for reasons I can't explain.
6. Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
