I love videos where the video matches the beat of the music. It's simplistic, but when I walk with headphones on, I like to be in sync with the music, a bit like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Here's my favourite example of what I mean:
UPDATE:
If you want to see how Michel Gondry conceived it:

I think we need Blimpy's 'strate-ing skills again!

@ ejay - D'yunno, I'd never spotted that about the Chemicals' video: DUH me!
I know what you mean (about the in sync walking) though; my gym notes have red biro song lists next to each exercise to remind me which tracks match which machine tempo. One of the fitness instructors saw me programming the mp3 player with the page in the other hand, and "got up the courage" to ask me about them. Once I'd explained it to her, she looked very relieved and admitted she'd previously thought I was certifiable, and had been deliberately giving me a wide berth!!
CHOCOLATE!
Motel?
Can't top the Salmon Dance for a Chem Bros vid.
I can't get Vimeo to play.
Must be a temporary thing GF, it's mot working for me now, but it did last night. Oh actually it did again after I refreshed.
That was beautiful.
I like the beginning of Saturday NIght Fever, too--when he's eating two slices of pizza on top of each other and feeling on top of his world.
I liked watching him draw, too.
the painting is great,

"There's only one thing to do at a moment like this, strut!"
and Gondry is just an obsessive!
truely nuts.
I think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the best films I've seen as an adult.
I have spent years of my life on trains and I had this idea about making a video where the train windows reflected onto the fields are linked with some sort of music - I've mentioned it on the Spill at some point. But I could never articulate it like this. Brilliant.
