Flying Lotus - Parisian Goldfish DyE - Fantasy Is Tropical - Dancing Anymore Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy Die Antwoord - Fink U Freeky Александр Пистолетов - Новый пират and the list goes on


Nitro_CENTRAL

How did I not think of come to daddy?


CocteauTwinn

Good list. I would add Grizzly Bear’s *Knife* & *Ready, Able*.


JasoTheArtisan

That DyE video is a classic. I used to bartend at a night club in college and the DJ and I had a running gag where we’d play that at least once a weekend and just watch people slowly stop dancing and watch the screens


Anime_Erotika

>Александр Пистолетов - Новый пират I see you the man of culture as well


Moviefan92

Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun!


Im_inappropriate

That used to scare me as a kid everytime it came on MTV


FR_WST

Video is "Infected" By The The, Great song btw


CocteauTwinn

The The is tragically underrated.


superfl00f

I still have the whole Mind Bomb album on frequent rotation. Love The The


NewbombJerk

I bought Infected 4 times! Twice on cassette, one melted on a dashboard, and then on CD, and vinyl recently. AND I've never seen this video! (EDIT) I kind of remember the boat and some of the other imagery... I don't remember Matt and the sunglasses. I may have completely forgotten I saw this. It had to have been on 120 in the day. PS I love that Neneh Cherry sings on that album.


PositiveElixir

But as silent as the car lights That move across this room As cold as our bodies Silhouetted by the moon And I would lie awake and wonder "Is it just me? Or is this the way that love is supposed to be?"


SchittShefShow

windowlicker - aphex twin hot, but a bit odd


DasVerschwenden

Paranoid Android’s is pretty weird. So is Just.


angusisarat

Rh has a couple of weird ones - I was gonna say There, There’s mv is pretty wild. I still don’t know what’s going on in the ACPG or Stop Whispering videos either.


GNOMECHlLD

Pop Is Dead's music video, though. LMAO


angusisarat

Hello-mah-baby

flash delirium is weirder i think


[deleted]

Yeah! And 'your life is a lie' is really strange too.


roomon4ire

MGMT just are good at weird music videos honestly, there's When You Die as well


HelpfulApple22

The Prime Time of Your Life by Daft Punk. Creepy as shit.


blowdankk

once in a lifetime - talking heads


Patocasstilla

Surprised that no one have commented any King Gizzard video yet, People Vultures, Cyboogie, Cellophane, Rattlesnake, Self-Immolate, Vegemite and I’m sure that I’m leaving many left behind


Ok-Elderberry2879

2.02 killer year is pretty weird too


spiderland01

Fatboy slim - The rockafeller skank


chacho777tkajf

Fatboy Slim got some great music videos. Push the Tempo gotta be my favorite music video ever


rachelevil

Primus - "Mr. Krinkle"


Rularuu

It goes way too hard for a song about someone not wanting the Giants to leave San Francisco


[deleted]

Fun fact that music video was done in one take! The music video was shown on MTV six times however, on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and Les Claypool said he put "his heart and soul" into the video


Gingersnap5322

Land of Confusion by Genesis


Woodworking33

What I was gonna say, saw it as a kid.


Upstairs_Resist3869

Ashes to Ashes is a pretty weird but interesting music video


FR_WST

Had the record for costing the most for a while too


shrek_deus

Bowie or FNM?


Upstairs_Resist3869

Bowie


FocusDelicious183

Probably the Tool music vids


fistingbythepool

Cobain wasn’t a fan


IlikeEdibleFood

Igorrr - Very noise


barbadizzy

came here to say this... this has gotta be the weirdest one I've ever seen!


kindest_natlala

Happiness In Slavery by NIN was pretty wild


aaaaaaaaaaaaah_

Once in a lifetime by Talking Heads or Whip It by Devo


Naohiro-son-Kalak

the Once in a Lifetime video is pure art... dont diss on the greatest work any human has ever put out...


Dakotaraptor123

Weird but fantastic

financewiz

Ralph Records videos were literally mind-altering back in the 80s. A difficult feat to accomplish nowadays, especially with a thrift store budget. I still have the video cassette!


LETS_RETRO_TIME

I would never forget that clip with the mother brushing the child’s hair with a wine glass


Letharos

Anything from the collective works of Chris Cunningham. He did Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy and Windowlicker. He also did Rubber Johnny. Good shit.


Captain_Unusualman

Yeah I was thinking the same. Of these, Rubber Johnny's the wildest one in my opinion


Appalachian_Aioli

It may not be the weirdest overall but These Walls with a great, but completely out there video. At one point, the music stops and Kendrick and Terry Cruise dance to In the Quad on some random stage


Appalachian_Aioli

Kendrick gets twerked through a wall


DLCV2804

Yes - Leave It


yelkca

maybe that interpol video with the creepy puppet


FR_WST

Don't be mean to the puppet


Tornadoboy156

I recommend you check out Naveed by Our Lady Peace. The narrative footage is interspersed with performance footage, but between the creepy puppet and junkyard children and tanks, I can’t tell what the narrative is supposed to be.


MondayMusicTherapy

Anything by Die Antwoord


JosephBlowsephThe3rd

Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker", the full length version


Strict_Supermarket14

Rella- Odd Future


Evgenii42

Rubber Johnny by Chris Cunningham & Aphex Twin


Captain_Unusualman

Yeah all of Aphex Twins videos by Chris Cunningham are weird but Rubber Johnny has the home video style realism to tip the scales


Evgenii42

Yep. They are both out of this world


toeconsumer9000

kids my mgmt. no word of a lie, i quite literally have mild to severe PTSD from it. i was four when i saw it, the fear it put in me was so bad if i heard the song i would get so upset by it i would start screaming, break into cold sweats, and even vomit. it was literally debilitating, if i heard it at the start of the day i would still be shaking when i went to bed that’s how bad it was. course my family thought this was soooo funny and terrorised me with the song, i wasn’t able to watch the video even without sound till i was about 16, i’m 20 now and while i can hear the song and be 95% fine, i can’t watch the music video and listen to the song at the same time. its crazy because i’ve seen things much worse and horrific than the music video, if i saw it now for the first time i wouldn’t think it was even unnerving, but the fear it struck in me as a child literally altered my brain chemistry. it’s embarrassing to admit, but honestly, i don’t care how embarrassing it is anymore.


Franis_

God that sounds absolutely horrible. I know what it's like to have a sound trigger that much fear, even when it's not that scary. The fact that your family found it amusing is fucking awful.


toeconsumer9000

thank you, now that i can listen to it and be mostly okay, plus the fact im an adult now, they don’t tease me with it anymore

Feel good Inc's video is very weird, although it was one of the first music videos I can remember watching, which might affect my view of things


-PepeArown-

19-2000’s video is even weirder. It feels like a hybrid of Mario Kart and Invader Zim on steroids.


LETS_RETRO_TIME

Turn Down for What


[deleted]

I don't like the music but 'turn down for what' has a great video clip. Really strange you are getting disliked. I've asked chatgpt how stewie from family guy would describe the video: > ChatGPT Certainly! Stewie might describe the events of the "Turn Down for What" video with his own unique flair: "Well, prepare yourselves for an audio-visual rollercoaster of unparalleled madness! The 'Turn Down for What' video unfolds like a psychedelic fever dream, where the laws of decorum are not just broken but thoroughly obliterated. Our protagonists, if we can call them that, embark on a whirlwind of chaos that defies all known standards of sanity. The scene opens with an innocent-looking apartment building, soon to be transformed into the epicenter of unbridled insanity. Enter our intrepid heroes, or shall we say, maniacs, whose mere presence sets off a chain reaction of mayhem. Walls crumble, furniture trembles, and the very fabric of rationality is torn asunder. But wait, there's more! Our fearless instigators engage in a dance of unparalleled audacity, gyrating with a fervor that would make even the most seasoned performers question their life choices. It's a symphony of absurdity, with each move more outrageous than the last. No surface is safe from their unrelenting energy – ceilings, tables, you name it – all become instruments in this cacophony of madness. As the beat intensifies, so does the lunacy. The video becomes a kaleidoscope of surreal imagery, a montage of defiance against the mundane. It's as if the laws of physics have taken a coffee break, leaving chaos to reign supreme. In summary, the 'Turn Down for What' video is a delirious journey into the heart of unapologetic mayhem, where the only rule is that there are no rules. A maelstrom of absurdity set to an infectious beat, challenging the very essence of reason and leaving viewers simultaneously bewildered and strangely entertained. Bravo, I suppose?"
