Shawna Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 This is crazy tough. There were so many of these that I was unfamiliar with, so I took time and went through every last one - not listening to the music, but watching the video only. I wound up with 18 on my Top Ten. 1. You Might Think ~ Cars 2. Fell In Love With A Girl ~ White Stripes 3. Don't Come Around Here No More ~ Tom Petty 4. Money For Nothing ~ Dire Straits 5. Addicted To Love ~ Robert Palmer 6. Weapon of Choice ~ Fatboy Slim 7. Eat It ~ Weird Al 8. You Can Call Me Al ~ Paul Simon 9. Night Boat To Cairo ~ Madness 10. Gypsy ~ Fleetwood Mac ~~~~~ 11. Buddy Holly ~ Weezer 12. Losing My Religion ~ REM 13. Hurt ~ Johnny Cash 14. Learn To Fly ~ Foo Fighters 15. Thriller ~ Michael Jackson 16. Window In The Skies ~ U2 17. Let Forever Be ~ Chemical Brothers 18.

Shawna Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 ^^ good thing I had more than 10, then! To the Powers That Be: please just move my list up one for everything. 'tis a real shame... any video that makes use of Legos like that is a keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yeah, but it was digitised, like I said, which is why I thought E-Pro was a more jaw-dropping option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 1. Rabbit in your Headlights - UNKLE (how can anyone not be glued to the screen as they watch this and think 'whoa! :shocked:' at the end ?) 2. Let Forever Be - The Chemical Brothers (I have no idea what this is about, but it's one of the best surreal things I've ever seen) 3. Weapon of Choice - Fatboy Slim (take a famous actor who's known for a certain style, and let him do something completely different ) 4. Drop - Pharcyde (very cool, I like the painting at the end... uhh... beginning) 5. Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai (I already found this fascinating when it came out - and I still do today) 6. Sabotage - Beastie Boys (no comment needed ) 7. Window in the Skies - U2 (a perfect example that you don't even need original material to be creative ) 8. Glósóli - Sigur Rós (anyone know the piper of Hamelin? my favourite scene is when they run up that hill and suddenly you realise that it's actually a cliff! "whoa! :shocked:" again) 9. Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan (simple ideas are often the best) 10.E-Pro - Beck (I first saw something like this in a youtube vid of a Japanese ping-pong game - without the cool computer graphic stuff of course) Buddy Holly - Weezer Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers Free as a Bird - The Beatles Hurt - Johnny Cash Money for Nothing - Dire Straits Rockit - Herbie Hancock Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel Three Little Pigs - Green Jelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
