From time to time, I spend some time on YouTube looking at the funniest and cheesiest music videos I can find. I also find some totally awesome music videos now and then. Here is a compilation I put together of some of the best (and worst) music videos from the past 30 years or so.
Since the whole copyright thing is going on over at YouTube, I had to link to some of the videos since a few companies (you know who) blocked embedding of their videos. Enjoy!
Men Without Hats – Safety Dance
I love this video for reasons I do not know..
Right Said Fred – I’m Too Sexy
This video is cheesy enough that hit had to be included in this list.
Michael Jackson – Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough
This video made the list because…I don’t know. The sweet backgrounds perhaps?
David Hasselhof – Hooked On A Feeling
It’s very possible that this is the worst music video ever created.
Devo Whip It
This might be the best music video ever created…lol
MC Hammer – Can’t Touch This
I remember this from when I was little. Who can forget those parachute pants.
Corey Hart – Sunglasses At Night
Another cheesy video that makes me saw “wow.”
Lionel Richie – All Night Long
Well the song is pretty sweet, but the video fails in many ways.
Robert Palmer – Addicted To Love
Another video I remember seeing back in the day.
Zlad Elektronik Supersonik
This may be a joke, but it’s still a kickass music video.
Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice Baby
Another nominee for being one of the worst videos of all time.
Midnight Oil – Beds Are Burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning? Do you know the answer? I sure don’t.
Dire Straits – Money For Nothing
The 3D animation in this video is brilliant. Not to mention it’s one of the best songs ever.
Men At Work – Land Down Under
This video is classic.
The Gap Band – You Dropped A Bomb on Me
Another great video featuring some awesome dance moves from the 80′s.
The Village People – YMCA
Does anyone else think the guy in black leather looks a lot like Mr. Slave from South Park?
Blind Melon – No Rain
This video instantly reminds me of the early 90′s.
Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer
I have to admit, this is another classic video that kicks ass.
Tom Petty – Don’t Come Around Here No More
I have always loved Tom Petty’s videos, including this one.
Fatboy Slim – Weapon Of Choice
Christopher Walken alone makes this video the greatest ever.
Wham – Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Okay forget the videos I mentioned earlier as being the worst ever, this one wins hands down!

It’s pretty hard to ever really nail a list of the top/best/most awesome…whatever, but this list…well, I think it’s pretty good. The only videos I think might be more awesome would be either Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” or “Schism” or “Prison Sex” from Tool…oh, and the Johnny Cash cover of “Hurt”
hah, this is a pretty old list. I do agree with a lot of your choices though. A lot of old 80′s videos are classics.
If you like the I’m Too Sexy video you’ll probably also enjoy the You’re My Mate video as well!
