Fatboy Slim!
#1
Certainly one of my favorite musicians and I think the music videos for his stuff is undeniably some of the best out there, period. Fun fact, Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) (almost) never appears in his videos, not substantially anyway.

He's prone to running contests for people to get involved in the creative and performing parts of the videos. That Old Pair of Jean's video was a juggling contest, where people sent 30 second clips, and they picked the best overall guy and did a full video with him. I know The Joker and Champion Sound were done with contests as well.

Kinda hard to find embeddable videos though. Forgive me when I inevitably get lazy and start linking

Weapon of Choice
Yes that's Christopher Walken
 Spoiler

That Old Pair of Jeans
Certainly not the most absurd juggling, but the choreography is high on the absurdity scale
 Spoiler

The Joker
Adorable. Unbelievably adorable.
 Spoiler

Champion Sound
That's Norman Cook/Fatboy Slim getting hit in the head at the end.

Gangster Trippin'
Explosions yield instant quality

Rockafeller Skank
Them is some funky soul brothers

I think of it as a techno-artsy look at humanity. Strange.

Don't Let The Man Get You Down
Lesson learned.

Some other fun ones if you aren't bored yet. (and you shouldn't be yet.Rolleyes)

-Toe Jam - I would link this one, but the mods might not like that so much. My 2nd favorite, behind Captain Walken in Weapon of Choice. What's not to like about playing Pong with censor bars? I *THINK* that might be Norm Cook swinging loose toward the end, but I can't tell with the bad quality.
-Right Here, Right Now
-Ya Mama
-Wonderful Night
-Praise You - Funny in an awkward way
-Demons

I know/like the songs Gangster Trippin' and Champion Sound, but I've never seen the videos before. They have great ideas, I especially liked the Joker and Champion Sound.

The only thing that bothers me about the Champion Sound video is that the girls filming seem to get sexual satisfaction when their domino chain works.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against paraphilia. Just seems like the video should be the intro to some really peculiar porno. I'm being ripped off by the end.

Edit: Feck it, since we're on the topic and Fatboy Slim and sex, I present the astoundingly amazing Toe Jam video:

wikipedia Wrote:On 13 July 2002 Fatboy Slim performed the second of his free, open air concerts on Brighton beach. Despite expecting a crowd of around 60,000 people the event instead attracted an estimated 250,000 who crammed the promenade and beach between Brighton's piers. Local police forced the event to end early amid safety concerns, overcrowding, and one death. After the music had finished and the crowd began to dissipate, traffic ensued throughout the Brighton area with many caught in traffic jams until the morning.

Only Fatboy Slim song I've listened to is 'Right Here Right Now' and it's a pretty good. Reminds me of my old RuneScape days when my character was mining coal.
