Best Music Videos of the Decade Pt. 3

Last batch of awesome music videos that deserve recognition for being super awesome.

Junior Senior - Move Your Feet
Some animated videos try to get away with being "dark" or "political". Junior Senior play it safe with this colorful blast of funk featuring a drunk squirrel.

Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At
Released in 2001, this video surely was a take on pre packaged pop acts such as The Backstreet Boys and N'Sync. Music so stale and simple even a trained monkey could do it.

Elton John - This Train Doesn't Stop There Anymore

How does an aging Baby Boomer get his music heard by those who won't ever listen to it other wise? Cast Justin Timberlake to sing your song instead.

Arcade Fire - My Body Is A Cage
These Canadian indie rockers know how to keep things dramatic. Instead of concocting some new idea for "My Body Is A Cage" the band simply put the tune over the ending scene from the film Once Upon a Time in the West.

Kanye West - Flashing Lights
Kanye gets what's coming to him. But I must say, if the last thing I saw before I died was a gorgeous woman... I really wouldn't complain too much.

R. Kelly - Trapped In The Closet (Part 1)
Sure it's ridiculous. Sure it's blatantly stupid. But ya know what? It was still an event video and made you want to watch the other chapters, well, at least the next 4.

U2 - Beautiful Day
While many might have written the band off 10 year ago, U2 got back on their feet starting with "Beautiful Day". That's not an airplane taking off in this video, it's U2's career.

Of Montreal - Wraith Pinned to the Mist
A video as colorful as the band itself, "Wraith Pinned to the Mist" also became the most random steakhouse song ever... thanks Outback.

OutKast - B.O.B

The best rap group ever makes the most colorful video hip hop video ever.
