Here are my favourite 30 video clips of 2005 included are some links to video clips/video clip search results in the top 20, except one i couldn't find a link for. if you have trouble with the links you can always search on yahoo video search. enjoy
30 Dare - Gorillaz
An interesting video clip with that mix of human/cartoon vision. very atmospheric and interesting!
29 Dirty Harry - Gorillaz
Again, love the interactoin between human and cartoon.
28 Per Sempre - Anthony Callea
Intriguing one simply because of the woman dressed in old fashioned clothes. Oh and it's a nice song too.
27 Sunshine - Ricki-Lee
Very bright, very joyous, very pop, very happening!
26 Why - DJ Sammy
Love the black in this video clip! Plus it's a great song in its own right.
25 Caught Up - Usher
Nice dancing, nice little story in it, and a great song.
24 Oh My Gosh - Basement Jaxx
A scary video clip because of the ladies in the nursing home but still very inventive as we have come to expect from basement jaxx!
23 Don't Lie - Black Eyed Peas
This isn't a hugely unique video clip but very nice and subtle and i like how fergie walks towards the camera like that in the chorus.
22 Voodoo Child - Rogue Traders
Natalie Bassingthwaite intertwined with some interesting animation.....very unique and interesting for mine!
21 Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Chosen Few vs. Tears For Fears
This video clip just follows the pace of this cover version so wonderfully and peacefully. Very enjoyable.
20 Do You Want To - Franz Ferdinand video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=%22do+you+want+to%22+franz&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-vid-t&fl=0&cv=g&x=wrt
Yet another awesome video clip from franz ferdinand, with their movements around the screen a great laugh.
19 Go Gone - Estelle www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/estellex10x03x05
A very catchy version of the song coupled with a bit of attitude with some great movement from estelle and co.
18 Gold Digger - Kanye West http//www.universal-music.co.jp/stream/kanye_west/UI3CS-90065_300k.ram
who hasn't seen this one!! gotta love the way the head moves as the song is going on.
17 Hoppipolla - Sigur Ros contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/sigurrosx28x11x05
Sigur Ros are known for putting kids in their creative video clips but this one was a surprise with senior citizens the stars instead!! Hoppipolla basically means (i think?) jumping in puddles which is why that occurs in the clip! It's funny seeing the oldies act like young hooligans.
16 Gamble Everything For Love - Ben Lee www.ben-lee.com/main_page.php?d=gamblevideo_frame.htm
This one was recorded in sydney and has ben lee constantly changing position with a bit of smoke and mirrors in each shot. quite smart and a great song too!
15 Shot You Down - Audio Bullys featuring Nancy Sinatra www.freewebs.com/gamesvilleextra/gamesvilleextramusic.htm
from the old shots to the symmetrical movements of the animations, i think this is a really good video clip to compliment such a song.
14 Swing - Savage www.dawnraid.co.nz/video.htm
A pretty funny video clip with the large frame of Savage shrunk down for most of it at the laundromat.
13 My Doorbell - White Stripes video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=%22my+doorbell%22&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-vid-t&fl=0&cv=g&x=wrt
I love the old throwback of this video clip and the black and white visual of it all. This video clip definitely made me like the song more, which is what good video clips do (nickelback take note, though i doubt any good clip could save them)....
12 Lose Control - Missy Elliott featuring Ciara & Fatman Scoop video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=%22lose+control%22&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-vid-t&fl=0&cv=g&x=wrt
Heaps of dancing in this one which suits the song excellently.
11 My Friend Robot - Regurgitator
A fairly black coloured video clip which has each member of regurgitator piloting those small robots seen in shows like 'robot wars' and the like. Very funny and another incredibly innovative video clip from my favourite band.
10 Do Your Thing - Basement Jaxx www.colonelblimp.com/directors/newwork
The shirts are great but this version of the song is even better!! Again another smart and funny video clip that makes me like the song even more.
9 Robot Rock - Daft Punk www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/daftpunkx22x03x05
Another video clip that makes me like the song more (especially as this is so repetitive), I think the bright lights and old school robot costumes are very funky. Another terrifc daft punk video clip.
8 World On Fire - Sarah McLachlan www.worldonfire.ca/
A very interesting and, imo, moving video clip as it should be. the way it spells out its message is first class although it takes a few viewings to take it all in.
7 All These Things That I've Done - The Killers www.umusic.ca/thekillers/index.php
Again love the black and white, and the lull in the song where the 'cowboy' is saying the lines 'i got soul but i'm not a soldier'. I really enjoy this one.
6 The Nature Anthem - Grandaddy video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=%22grandaddy%22+%22nature+anthem%22&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-vid-t&fl=0&cv=g&x=wrt
People running round in furry costumes, which suits the song so absolutely perfectly!!
5 Catch My Disease - Ben Lee www.theonenetwork.com/playvideo.asp?type=music&videoid=u_benlee_catch_my
The way this is put together is first class with some great movements from the dancers and ben lee himself.
4 2000 Places - The Polyphonic Spree video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=polyphonic+spree+places&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-vid-t&fl=0&cv=g&x=wrt
Another wonderful video clip with the brightly coloured costumes of the spree very prevalent.. Love their dancing and the slower bits of the video clip.
3 Owner Of A Lonely Heart - Max Graham vs Yes tuesdayscoming.typepad.com/hey_monkey/2005/12/owner_of_a_lone.html
This is not just another one of those dance songs with a clip solely devoted to scantily clad women, although there are a lot of those here. the main plot itself is quite funny and cheeky, the ladies are a bonus.
2 Love Generation - Bob Sinclar www.blastro.com/prefs/bobsinclarlovegeneration.html?artist=Bob%20Sinclar
A kid goes for a bike ride across the US in this one. A very happy and uplifting video clip that suits the song wonderfully.
1 Glósóli - Sigur Rós
www.sigur-ros.co.uk/media/dldvideo.php
Last year I was in awe with my #1 video clip of the year, George Michael's "Flawless" video clip. That was just an incredibly great video clip that i could watch again and again. Glósóli is, perhaps even better than that! Glósóli means 'glowing sun', and the transition from the darkness at the beginning to finally the kids running towards the 'glowing sun' at the end is just incredible and comes from a genious. A very motivating and uplifting video clip for me, very special.
So there it is i will start my official year end chart tomorrow so watch out .
