      awesome, there are a few bits where they look a bit tired / off. Clearly it took them ages to put it together. This is way better than Rhiannon dancing on a car or Katy Perry shooting whipped cream from her breasts.

      Yo Paul, I’m happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best music videos of all time. OF ALL TIME.

      LOL, if you want to see a great video checkout Ok Go’s video of “And this too shall pass” (I think thats what it’s called) featuring the Rube Goldberg machine, that video is awesome

      I assume you meant one shot…. not one take.

      OK Go always have awesome film clips….. and that is usually how I distinguish between songs to other people who may not have their albums. Such as, “You know, that one with the wallpaper”, or “that famous one with the treadmills”, or “that one with the trippy camera effects and brightly coloured balls” raspberry

      I recently revisited the Reels version of Bad Moon on the Rise, which as most of you know is a noisy swamp rock number, which the Reels rejigged as slow and trance-ey. The video, which was made in the 1980s, shows Dave Mason in slow motion walking past a line of ordinary, un-choreographed bystanders. It too was all shot in one take and only cost a few hundred to make. Despite the ordinary dagginess of the people in it, it’s quite an eerie and chilling video.

      I searched for it the other day, took me ages to find because I didn’t recall who’d made it, but found it eventually among about 1,000 other covers.

      This mediocre group are known for their videos. Name one of their songs? They’re not good!

      So they’re great at marketing themselves. That’s essentially what pop music is about.

      Why is that a problem?

      Coolest Ikea ad I’ve ever seen.
