as the millennium change these are the
music videos that charmed us most of all
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten decades of finding music videos of
the 2004 this list we ranked the most
popular most iconic music videos and
those that best represent the 2000s in
general
there are no criteria limitations in
terms of genre although only one video
per act is allowed this is part of a
series of video spanning the decades
from the 1980s and beyond
number 10 fell in love with a girl the
white stripes
one of the most influential alt rock
bands of the decade some of the White
Stripes success was built upon their
innovative music videos with our first
short film being the band’s best example
stop-motion lego
it doesn’t get simpler or more
sensational than that in a triumphant
twist of fate Jack White had originally
sought out an alternative director Mark
Romanek for fell in love with a girl
they bomb out a badger painting but due
to a mix-up he ended up working with
Michele gondry there were no hard
feelings then and there definitely isn’t
any regret now
number nine bye-bye-bye
NSYNC Justin Timberlake might have
featured today for the super sleek
accompaniment to cry me a river but
instead we’ve headed back to JT’s roots
and to NSYNC signature record
– there ain’t no strings about it the
video for bye-bye-bye is a belter from
its puppet irreal beginning to its
high-speed finish it’s classic 2000s
especially famous for the anti-gravity
dance scenes from inside a futuristic
looking blue box it showcased and sank
as a breakaway from boyband norm as the
next big thing in pop music
number eight bad romance Lady gaga
just when we thought the 2000s had
thrown all it could at us in terms of
pop music Lady Gaga turned up with the
wonderfully wacky videos for just ads
and in particular for bad romance
the bad romance video drew upon almost
every slither of 21st century vice and
twisted it together into one of the
artiest music videos probably ever
produced fashion baby work it move that
bitch crazy its latex and body tape and
a barely there beaded number its
sexuality its decadence its Saturday
nights on steroids bad romance brilliant
video
number seven all the small things
blink-182 small chicken
for many the first years of the new
millennium were typify by a cheeky brand
of pop punk music brought to us by the
likes of blink-182 and tho what’s my age
again epitomizes everything that that
scene was about it was released just
before the year 2000 so for this list
we’ve chosen the equally hilarious and
unforgettable all the small things turn
the lights off carry me
which once again combines the band’s pop
punk sensibility with their sense of
humor parodying boy bands and pop stars
the short film helped turn blink-182
into music video stars themselves with
their coordinated outfits dance moves
and all that frolicking on the beach
what’s not to love
number six
work it Missy Elliott is it word let me
work it up on my dang down flip it and
reverse it when she wasn’t getting us to
get our freak on she wanted us to work
it and the music video for work it
really did work blah blah blah market I
need a glass of water Missy Elliott made
the hip hop genre her own with this clip
a showcase of impossible dance moves
street fashion and an ensemble cast
exploding with attitude no mrs. feel
super fun but Prince couldn’t get me
chained my name Popeye cool two kids say
you slim again no son Tim Berlin tweet
and Eve all appear in the video while
respects are also paid to the recently
departed alia and Lisa Lopez let me work
it dang down every person a worthy
accompaniment to the song it’s
overflowing Lee awesome number five
feel-good Inc guerrillas featuring
delassalle
in terms of animated music videos the
forward-thinking virtual band Gorillaz
are pioneers within the field the short
film for feelgood Inc is a cinematic
spectacular heavily influenced by the
work of Hayao Miyazaki the legendary
Japanese animator set within a
beautifully detailed dystopia feel-good
Inc is a comparison of the lives of two
characters to these prison like
confinement and noodles freedom on a
windmill fueled floating island the
video is an awesome oxymoron it’s
beautifully sad
number four single ladies put a ring on
it
Beyonce an anthem of the decade
accompanied by an appropriately iconic
video this beyonce leotard laden clip
actually received less initial media
attention than her video for if I were a
boy which was released around the same
time and more heavily produced
however quite quickly single ladies was
praised for its intimacy realness and
marketability the video sparked a dance
craze and caused massive controversy at
the 2009 VMAs it was this video that
caused Kanye West to infamously protest
Taylor Swift’s win number three
Californication Red Hot Chili Peppers
psych experiment try to steal your mom’s
Alysha another animated classic
this time with more of a video game feel
to it the son marries did settle in upon
location in Californication there’s a
loading screen to start and a closing
message of game over what happens in
between is weird wonderful and so rock
and roll
Lycia
the four Chili Peppers are transformed
into game character avatars and each
sets out on his own virtual reality
rollercoaster
Mountains are traveled sharks are dodged
film studios are crashed and cities are
destroyed anything and everything
happens and were hooked from start to
finish
number two hey-yah outcasts
nobody’s that good
with so many iconic moments in its own
right it’s amazing to think that the
video for hey-yah was actually inspired
by another milestone moment in music
history the film presents outcasts as
they revel within an artificial American
invasion of Great Britain
it’s a parody of some famous footage of
the Beatles performing on The Ed
Sullivan Show in 1964 amid their
original British Invasion
with boards of screaming fainting fans
put before them Andre 3000 and Big Boi
had really hit it big with this record
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
oh yeah
then under mine
well the real Slim Shady please stand up
I relieve with her number one the real
Slim Shady Eminem y’all act like you
never seen a white person before jaws on
the floor like panic commie just burns
in the dorm our winner came at the
beginning of the decade setting one hell
of a precedent for the years that
followed Eminem was fast establishing
himself as one of the most influential
artists of his era in 2000 wing the
filmic mammal well some of his cannibals
other people open the cannibal but if we
can mom dead animals and antelopes that
is the reason that a man and another man
can elope with this song these lyrics
and his video it’s not difficult to see
why the short film is a hectic
hell-raising mashup of everything that’s
parentally advisory about this record
sick me here next to Britney Spears
clean aguillera better squinty chair so
I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred
Durst here more you oh boy she gave
birth it’s four and a half minutes of
celeb bashing sex slaving bleach-blonde
ding brilliance Slim Shady we salute you
real lady on you want to swim Shady’s
are just imitating so won’t the real
Slim Shady please stand up please dead
so do you agree with our list which
video did we forget
