pleasant to the ears but visually
devastating welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top ten good songs with stupid
music videos for this list we’re looking
at songs we consider to be worth
listening to but that were tainted with
absolutely dreadful music videos for
example while we do consider the bad
touch by the Bloodhound Gang to be an
utterly stupid video we also consider
the song to be as such and so you won’t
be finding it on our list enjoy
[Music]
[Applause]
number ten paradise Coldplay when she
was just to do
she expected it was a huge hit in 2011
so what’s in the hell went wrong with
the music video well it’s never a good
thing when the director receives only
one day’s notice which is what happened
when mad white cross stepped into direct
paradise treatment clearly under the
impression that it’s always cute when
grown men wear animal outfits lead
singer Chris Martin roamed about the
gorgeous South African landscapes before
teaming up with his fellow band mates
while the song is arguably one of
Coldplay’s most beautifully anthemic the
video no doubt has a scratching our
heads
[Music]
number nine holiday Madonna
[Music]
hey have you ever just set up a camera
in your room and rocked the heck out to
your favorite song well for this Madonna
track she did basically that resulting
in a stripped down to camera production
that may or may not have been shot in
someone’s basement yes it’s one of the
best dance songs of all time however the
music video raises a few intriguing
questions have the background dancers
been sedated and who was that creep in
the background
in the end madonna produced a visual
documents of definitive 80s dancing but
should she have number eight ET katy
perry featuring Kanye West I got a dirty
man
I got filthy ways I’m trying to be my a
in your milky way it’s no secret that
sexuality has been a key ingredient to
Katy Perry success but this time around
she silenced all raging hormones with a
slightly insane music video featuring
Yeezy himself calling me a Lee in a
big-headed
astronaut with the film avatar playing
as the videos inspiration director
Floria ciggies Maundy capitalized on the
otherworldly trend with a combination of
visuals that lack cohesiveness and
innovation but did include Kanye West
floating around aimlessly
maybe Kanye was just trying to live up
to Beyonce’s best music video of all
time
qapla prada spacesuit about stars he’s
too bad
about our number seven GUI glass animals
you know how some people don’t like the
word moist well
the Oxford banned glass animals expanded
on this concept with their video for GUI
in which a sexed-up group of individuals
exchange fluids seemingly for the sake
of art
[Music]
the song alone could put one into a
beautiful trance
however the Caravaggio like music video
could put one into a deep state of shock
thanks to a saliva torture scene
[Music]
digging in
featuring two men grappling around with
ill-fitting leotards a grown-up Velma
from scooby-doo and a rubenesque redhead
the message seems to be taste the goo
will pass
[Music]
number six radioactive imagine dragons
if you haven’t heard of this song
congratulations on coming out of your
coma radioactive first hit the charts in
2012 and conjures up images of a
post-apocalyptic world but imagine
dragons imagine something more
surrealistic for the music video
underground puppet fighting
Oh an 80 star Lou Diamond Phillips
yes this happened and among the chaos of
a music video walks the blue eyes
bombshell Alexandria daddario who will
either save imagine dragons from the
madness or perhaps feed them to the
psychotic animals it’s purely subjective
yet undeniably asinine
[Music]
number five I’m still standing Elton
John slap you but like win a few tonight
filmed in the South of France the
original video for I’m still standing
was almost lost after director Russell
Mulcahy fell into the sea on the first
day of shooting I got a taste of love
and I found fall away and you need to
know Alaska’s ban do you just if he had
the world wouldn’t have to endure images
of Dancing with the Stars Bruno Tonioli
and his aggressive camel toe
it’s unclear what exactly Elton John is
trying to say with this video but given
the various accounts of him being
completely wasted during the shoot the
entire Fiasco starts to make sense
[Music]
number four if I could turn back time
share believe it or not
MTV actually banned this video in 1989
mainly because of shares exposed butt
cheeks
[Music]
troubling as that may be to some viewers
more troubling is that her
twelve-year-old son appeared in the
music video
supporting her on guitar filmed on the
USS Missouri the US Navy must have been
a tiny bit surprised when cher showed up
on set with her junk hanging out but hey
what are you gonna do let the woman do
her thing okay
maybe Cher’s chart-topping singles
haven’t always been visually stimulating
just look at her 1998 hit believe
[Music]
number three separate ways worlds apart
journey
[Music]
with the arrival of MTV in the early 80s
rock bands could typically earn a larger
following through dynamic music videos
but in this case a beloved 80s band took
an ill-advised journey in the form of a
visual trainwreck
[Music]
pick your poison it might be the fashion
or perhaps the outlandish posturing of
Steve Perry but while these errors can
be forgiven over time
nobody can forgive the devastating
display of air instruments
[Music]
ultimately the synchronized headshot
sums it all up as the phases of journey
convey their inner turmoil and
realization of the lasting effects
[Music]
number two total eclipse of the heart
Bonnie Tyler every now then I get a
little bit lonely and you never come
round
directed by Russell Mulcahy the man
responsible for Elton John’s I’m still
standing the music video featured Welsh
singer Bonnie Tyler in a room full of
candles and doves among other things you
know like a creepy kid and male swimmers
for some reason
[Music]
it’s probably best if we all agree to
forget this video as the five minutes of
imagery will surely ruin anyone’s day
and certainly their memories of the song
and I was falling enough now only
falling I can do before we unveil our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions let’s go down to the tennis
court
[Music]
yes
[Music]
number one rock me tonight Billy Squier
[Music]
back in the early 80s Billy Squier
conceived the premise of his infamous
hit while swimming the waters of Greece
which may or may not have caused severe
brain damage given the unfortunate
sequence of events that follow
[Music]
it’s not necessarily the pole-dancing or
the plethora of pink of rock me tonight
it’s the fact that Billy Squier seems at
odds with the concept of dancing itself
which is made abundantly clear
throughout the five brutal minute
[Music]
just as the Sun rises with each morning
this psychologically damaging experience
will always sit atop the mountain of
miserable music videos
[Music]
so do you agree with our selections what
is your favorite good song with a stupid
music video
