Shiina Ringo is a great, and very popular, Japanese singer. She has made a career out of extremely bizarre videos; the one above it one of her most conventional, but I just like seeing her flip the bird and rock out in her kimono. Her later stuff is more like this:

Okay, this is not a really odd video, but it's lots of fun & a great song, too. (snitched from my son's fb page)

I hadn't looked on this thread before but it reminded me of this. I just spent 10 minutes trying to remember the guy's name and find the video. Now you know why French pop music took so long to cross the borders.

Looks like this song crossed the English Channel very quickly, though! That song has always made me want to vomit, but apparently it was a killer "slow" in its time. Love Me, Please Love Me is the third original album or LP by 1960s British girl singer Sandie Shaw. It was issued by Pye Records in November 1967, several months after Shaw's triumph in that year's Eurovision Song Contest. The album mainly contains cover versions of songs made popular by other artists, like Michel Polnareff's "Love Me, Please Love Me", though two songs are written by Chris Andrews, who was Shaw's personal songwriter for much of the 1960s.

Oh, I saw that there was a version of it by Sandie Shaw while I was trying to remember which video I had seen with those bikinied women prancing about.

If I have understood this correctly, this is not actually a music video but a presentation of a theatrical season. In any case, I don't think it will make the dance charts.

One of the most remarkable things about David Guetta, who is arguably the most famous DJ in Europe with those 'Fuck Me I'm Famous' Ibiza mix albums is that his brother Bernard Guetta is one of the most serious political journalists in France, who has never even seen one of his brother's concerts.

Belgian sensation Stromae filmed this video entirely by hidden camera, including the police intervention where they ask him if he needs a ride home.

Awesome thread - though some of those videos don't work for me So the one I thought of right away is this Kim Wilde video. I actually loved it as a teenager but now listening to the lyrics and watching it I wonder what one has to do with the other ha ha.

Odd mix of Soviet nostalgia and Brit pop. I think the lead singer should have had a career in a boy band.

Thanks Lizzy, that was a really lovely rendition of Skyfall! To my mind one of the best songs of 2013.

I absolutely love that video, and it provides irrefutable proof that the lyrics of most pop dance music is of no importance whatsover. Norway will always amaze us with its pop scene.

Well, the Ylvis snowball is really picking up speed as it rolls down the hill, and they have already passed the 10 million view mark, apparently faster than Psy did with Gangnam style.
Since they are actually a comedy group specialised in parodies of other pop music styles, it is interesting to check out some of the other things they have done, such as "Stonehenge."
I have to admit that I was surprised to suddenly hear "and then she plays with my balls" when it popped up out of nowhere.

Aw, jeez, I know this has been all over the interwebs lately, but honestly, I'm embarrassed that this was created by someone who could be called half-Canadian. Begone!
Not liking it.
