My Favorite Music Video - Fall out Boy 'Dance Dance'.

I am a big fan of American Rock music and especially the idea of including the band with their instruments performing the single inside the video. Fall out Boy's 'Dance Dance' is a good example of combining both the band and a warming environment in a music Video. The video tells the brief story of some high school students, played by the band members themselves, at a school prom, hopeful of hitting it off with their crushes with help of the song 'Dance Dance'. The video truly captures the american idea of 'the high school nerd' with using classic nerd costume. I also appreciate the effort the team behind the video have put in. Hiring a number of actors to complete the rest of the high school students and other minor characters. Furthermore, the choreography of the dancing is very impressive as the dancing is in sink and the moves somewhat match the lyrics, for example when the lead singer quotes 'were falling apart to halftime' the pairs of dancers break apart to opposite sides of the dancehall.

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

Very abstract video and seen as a massive breakthrough in music videos. David Byrne improvised a lot in front of the camera and came up with moves that he liked the look of. He looks like a puppet at times and is compleatly out of control which suites as the song is all about your life being out of control. He visited UCLA to view footage of people in trances and used this as inspiration for his moves. The New York Museum of Art exibited the video as an art form.
