Synergy: The original song was featured in the film "O brother where art thou?" (2000), the film was based on Homers Odyssey, set in the 1930's about three "jail birds" who go on an adventure with the law behind them. This music video mimics the film, and does it so well.

Even though this video has nothing to do with the song, watching the video makes me think its a sly attack on the foundations of America, perhaps saying that the leaders of "this great nation" are actually gay warmongers.

In an interview with Cosmo Jarvis, he said that he wanted to do a song about equality but something thats not so cliché, he said he was thinking about a statistic, 1 in 10 men are gay, so 1 in 10 men must have been gay back in the day, therefore there must have been gay pirates. This is a love song, not a parody.
4 - Fatboy slim - Weapon of choice
Directed by Spike Jonze
too many videos of it to get a deffinate view count, but the video views range from 700,000 to 2,000,000
Before Walken was an actor he was trained as a musical theatre dancer, and as far as i know, he choreographed the dance himself. The "Weapon of Choice" video won six MTV awards in 2001. Walken was awarded one of MTV's "Moonmen" for Best Choreography. The clip was also ranked number one in a list of the top 100 videos of all time by VH1 in April 2002 that was compiled from a music industry survey.

This music video is supposed to be an escapist metaphor, if you imagine the the feel good inc. tower as a prisson of fame, greed and debauchery that the band have created around themselves. When the lead vocalist (2D. Thats his name) is walking around the tower with the megaphone, he's meant to be waking up the rest of the band, make them realise where they are and what they have become. The windmill is a place he would dream of when he was younger, his happy place.
6 - Red hot chili peppers - By the way

This video has nothing to do with the song or the lyrics, theres nostory behind it, i think they just thought it was funny. It's a story all on its own.
At the begining of the video Anthony is holding a book about a band called "the germs" a band that was discovered and produced by "mullen" same person who found and produced the chilis.

7 - David Bowie and Mick Jagger - Dancing in the streets

I picked this last one, because its awful. Alot of sexual tension between these guys. Im not quite sure what the director was trying to do with this, or even why bowie and jagger thought it was a good idea to continue with it. Shortly after this video came out there were rumours that the two front men slept together. If you watch this you might see why the rumour appeared.
