The 3 Most Unique Music Videos in The Top 100 Music Videos
1. Now seeing as this video is at the top of the list I have to comment on Thriller. Now I am a fan of Michael Jackson and I believe that this is one of his most influential videos and songs of all time. Everything from the opening scene to the choreography i believe has been planned and executed perfectly. Although there are actually two versions of Thriller seeing as the full version of the song lasts around 10 minutes, it seems like the best option for those people who don't have the time to watch the whole thing to be able to watch the shortened version. Funny enough Thriller was actually so huge that MTV had to show it. This was the first time that a black artist had been shown on the channel and from the amount of viewings that they were going to receive from the viewings would rocket their sales. As well as just showing the video, it could only be aired after midnight because of the graphic images that were being shown in the video. Once the music video was being shown, it could have been days or even weeks before it could be shown on TV again, so this was more like an event. According to the director while Michael was dancing around the girl after they left the movie theater, he actually improvised some of the moves.
2. Next I would have to say the next music video that i thought was actually amazing is Take On Me by A-ha. I generally like the whole idea of the video because it is half real life and half animations which i absolutely love. The idea of having someone shift from the real world into a cartoon astounds and interests me. Although the video is ingenious and very creative when the song first came out without the music video it was actually a complete flop. It was only when the song was replayed years later with the video that people actually began to realise how good the song actually was which is then when the song began to become really popular.
3. Now I think the third song in the list that is also quite memorable is Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody. This is one of the most memorable songs simply because it was pretty much the first music video to be released and then shown on Top Of The Pops. Together with the lyrics it is a very complicated songs as even the director who made the music video didn't exactly have any idea of how he was going to link the video with the lyrics of the song. It was actually said that when Freddie Mercury created the song he initially just wanted to see the results of if he just threw words into a song and see what became of it; and it was really successful. Even though most people don't understand half what of what is actually being said during the song, they still sing the galileo parts anyway.
