Line 5:
* [[Bad Romance]]

* [[Friday (song)|Friday]]
* [[Howlin for You]]
Line 26:
** There was even a video jukebox developed in the early 1940s for such short films. Scopitone was another video juke box from the mid-1960s, playing videos from popular artists of the time.
* Many musical films and comedies from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s have musical segments that showcased popular tunes of the day.
* The film ''[[Blackboard Jungle]]'' (1955) became a huge success when [[Bill Haley]] and his Comets' hit "Rock Around The Clock" was used as the opening theme. Teenagers just went to the film theaters to listen to this hit blasting out of the stereos at top volume.
** [[Elvis Presley]]'s films, especially [[Jailhouse Rock]], had the same effect.
Line 106:
* [[Nirvana]] -- "Smells Like Teen Spirit". If one single event in pop culture can be said to have launched the mainstreaming of everything "alternative" in [[The Nineties]], it is this video.
** "Heart-Shaped Box". The video for the single was almost as memorable and controversial as the song, with lots of [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]] imagery of fetuses, crucifixion, a [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|field of poppies]], and a child in Ku Klux Klan getup which darkens into a witch's hat after landing in a pool of blood.
* Prodigy's "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130508084218/http://www.kewego.com/video/iLyROoaftJ5_.html Smack My Bitch Up]" was banned from almost every television channel for its graphic video, which was filmed in first person perspective and featured a long night of drunken revelry by the POV. Ironically, the video, with its [[Tomato Surprise]] ending, was created to counteract accusations of sexism against the band due to the song's lyrics. MTV even tapped Madonna to give the video her blessing on camera.
* [[Soundgarden]]. "Black Hole Sun". It's a combination of [[Mind Screw]] and ''excessive'' [[Nightmare Fuel]]
* [[Nine Inch Nails]] have a history of these:
Line 221:
* Sketch-comedy group [[Loading Ready Run]] created its very own fake-white-80's-rap band for the sole purpose of making parody videos—mostly about gaming. This includes [http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/110/the_loadingreadyrap The LoadingReadyRap] and [http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/1/1337 1337].
* [[Blue (video)|Blue]], by [[The Birthday Massacre]], which has its own page.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I The video] for [[Lady Gaga]]'s "[[Bad Romance]]" has become rather infamous for its complete craziness.
** It's official; Lady Gaga proved to be more WTF-inducing than Björk.
