Today in class we continued analysing Channel 4's 100 greatest music videos;
74. Wu-Tang Clan - "Gravel Pit" - 2001
73. Basement Jack - "Where's your head at"
72. Robert Palmer - "Addicted to Love" - 1992
71. Bjork - "All is Full of Love"
70. The Police - "Every Brreath You Take"
69. Frankie Goes to Hollywood - "Two Tribes" - 1984
68. Madonna - "Ray of Light" - 1998
67. The Beastie Boys - "Sabotage" - 1994
66. Bob Dylan - "Subterranean Homesick Blues" - 1965
This music video was filmed in the form of a documentary, and is very iconic as people remember it. What makes the song rememberable is that it was filmed in one take, and Bob Dylan isn;t lip synching, he decided to sing aloud. The song lyrics are written on card and are being thrown away, which shows that they are being ignored. Also the video was Bob Dylans idea and they never did a second take.
65. The Aphex Twin - "Windowlicker" - 1999
64. Bjork - "Human Behaviour"
63. George Michael - "Outside" - 1998
62. Blur - "Parklife"
61. The Prodigy - "Smack My Bitch Up" - 1997
"Smack my Bitch up" is one of the most controvesial music videos, the lyrics are indefensible as the song is about men hitting women. The video was so controversial that they tried to ban it as the video emphasised the lyrics, and it was even spoke about in the Houe of Commons!
The fact that it was filmed from a persons point of view made us believe that it was a man mistreating the women, however the end of the video revieled it was a woman, who had had to act as maly as possible. The music video only took one night to film and was on a low budget
60. Eurithmics - "Sweet Dreams"
