Hmmmmm, would have gone for something like Aphex twin Windowlicker or LFO Freak, but think either would cringe at the 'dance' requirement...

old gregg · 24-03-2010 9:05am

Come To Daddy is yer only man +C4tv voted it the scariest music video of all time

ButtersSuki · 24-03-2010 9:10am

I know it's been mentioned already but it's hard to beat Limerick's finest, Aphex Twin and 'Windowlicker', but here's the vid:

posting a video of people working with construction tools and not wearing hard hats and hi-vis vests is just plain irresponsible

@Zascar - is that a true story? Where did he meet her? Hardly in Dublin?!

Zascar · 24-03-2010 1:15pm

Sure is. The same chick is in the Stupidisco video above too. He's a club promoter / restaurateur in London. Every once in a while he shows me pics on facebook of the latest chick's he's got on the go, and they are all of that sort of quality. Unbelievebale.

ButtersSuki · 24-03-2010 1:20pm

Adopt Borat voice and say "I like!" out loud.
Repeatedly.
For ever.

ButtersSuki · 24-03-2010 1:28pm

Bit cheesy and I like his DJ sets a bit more than these, but seeing as this has descended into hotchicksindancemusicvids.com:

Love the blonde esp. at the 2:10-2:11 mark - that cheeky smirk does things to me.....she was in the "Call on me" vid too:

More of the same here:

Good look to him...but pics on facebook are not accepted by our courts as proof of a sexual relationship!

Great replies there lads (and ladies?

)

If anyone wants to be put in that draw for Vince Watson @ Crawdaddy or Tripod Friday this weekend just drop me a wee PM with your real name, video choice and email address - cheers!

Scubadevils · 24-03-2010 8:21pm

Another vote definitely for the Aphex Twin videos.

Some others that I have loved from over the years... granted a lot of them were watched under the influence of aciiiiid which did stimulate the visuals somewhat :pac:

This first one is quite obviously nothing special in terms of effects etc but I always loved the randomness of the video along with the great track... really, really, REALLY special memories for me, tear-to-the-eye material!

I wouldn't say bored, i go on YouTube quite a bit and sometimes i get a bit carried away:p

Some of you may have seen this actually - same track, a girl who's a bit of a funky dancer made her own video of her dancing to this track, sped up obviously but its pretty cool. She put it on youtube and as of now it has almost 5 Million views! She got some fairly lucrative deal doing advertising for a French company apparently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr2JneittqQ

ButtersSuki · 25-03-2010 1:36pm

Couple of "interesting" ones:

And a nice I assume "fan-made" homage:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61CLSZpDuao

ButtersSuki · 25-03-2010 1:40pm

That reminded me of this:

And from Dublin too if I remember right...

Another classic, even if it is just 4 fellows on bicycles...

And from the same era

And just for putting Jerry Sadowitz in a cape...I wonder does he cringe now...

ButtersSuki · 25-03-2010 1:43pm

Another good fan made dance, this time to MSTRKFT's remix of Wolfmother's "Woman"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NpEUc77QYE

25-03-2010 1:48pm

Thought this was pretty stylish...Japanese girls with hula hoops and boots...the trick at 2.00 is pretty good...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9FwCP6mQDw

As for fan made videos, this one works...I know the fan was just playing the tune to an old public health film, but it is perfect...

Snip. Banned for a week for blatant spamming

Scubadevils · 25-03-2010 10:44pm

Here's another two fan made videos, love them both along with the tracks. The 2nd one is unreal, the film clip from Metropolis is so fitting for the dark electro from Sonar Base, amazing.

Quantic - Time is the Enemy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7s5_Vso2bA

Sonar Base - The Deadly Storms of Uranus [Video ft Metropolis (1927)]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yr9cfdULPI

ButtersSuki · 26-03-2010 9:57am

Saw this only this morning on MTV Dance - nice vid. Liked the early Chicane stuff ('Offshore' still gives me a tingle) but then the Bryan Adams collaboration destroyed any chance of credibility but this is about videos and this is a good vid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFl-MxXZWx4

Whats the best dance video of all time?
