History BodyHorror / Music

* A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw00EUh0GT4 music video]] by Music/WeirdAlYankovic titled "Fat" (a parody of "Bad") has Al becoming a fat man. It's [[UncannyValley much creepier than that description alone would indicate]].

* The concept of Lou Reed's video for "No Money Down" involves an UncannyValley edition of Reed [[spoiler:tearing off his own skin in a grotesque manner to reveal a robotic version of himself.]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSv3Oez4O-4 music video]] for "Ready, Steady, Go" by Paul Oakenfold, which was originally featured in Film/TheBourneIdentity. While the track itself is [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic rather good]], but the special effects [[UncannyValley tend to look off]]. Specially when the [[RapidAging main character's face morphs from a baby to an adult]].

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3far9oHZOsI video]] for "Rubber Johnny" by Music/AphexTwin is this trope distilled to its essence. It's all from a night vision camera viewpoint as these unseen characters watch as this freakish, vaguely human thing with bulbous eyes and a twitchy disposition slowly goes from content to a body spasmy berserk rage, interspersed with scenes of a dog that happens to share the same traits. And that's only the beginning -- I ''love'' it.
** He IS snorting something.

* [[Music/TheLambLiesDownOnBroadway The Slippermen]] from the Music/{{Genesis}} song "The Colony Of Slippermen". They are BodyHorror combined with a very literal version of SexChangesEverything.

* The music video for IC3PEAK's "Fairytale" features a weird old woman that twists everyone and everything into fleshy abominations. The creator of this video has a fixation on this trope.

* Argentinean rock band Music/{{Kapanga}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCnuB11iS1E music video]] for "Postal" (from 2004's ''Esta!'') has its protagonist being slowly turned into a cardboard person, as a metaphor for the deep poverty the lower classes of the country were suffering during the early [[TheNewTens New Tens]].

** The main character turns into his own brain as two hands with red eyes grab it forms back to his normal head [[TheWoobie looking distraught]] before reattaching to his body before going in a free fall.

** The main character's head imploding and materializing a beer bottle and behaving like a deflated balloon after drinking his 4th drink and achieving a drunken state.

** Him squashing and stretching into a terrifying skeletal form as he rants about losing more money then he can afford on alcohol and wondering if it was out of boredom or he's really insecure.

** Then said head pukes out eyeless and nose less copies to for a human nautilus swimming in the wine before transforming again into his inner ear.

** After his second trip to the bar, the main character starts to hallucinate eyes staring at him and then proceeds to literally puke his face off reviling his skull as he laments about getting hungover and losing his friends but is willing to do it again.

* The Living Tombstone's video for[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3hTwgDy_Ww Drunk]] is a prime example of this. And considering that the guest animator is JaimeR this isn't a surprise. Such horrors include...

* Music/{{Metallica}}'s "One" is about a soldier who lost his limbs and senses to a land mine. On life support in a hospital, unable to communicate or interact with anyone, he feels completely isolated and wishes he would be allowed to die.

* Then there's [[PainfulTransformation the end of]] Music/{{Radiohead}}'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUzW-fDNEJ0 There There]]" video, which gives us the image of lead singer Thom Yorke turning into a tree [[AndIMustScream complete with a twisted screaming expression permanently grafted onto the front]].

* The full version of the "Rock DJ" music video by Robbie Williams, which involves Robbie stripping to get the attention of a female DJ. When he gets down to bare skin, he decides that isn't enough, so he begins to peel all of his flesh off, layer by layer, until he's left as an animated dancing skeleton. Naturally, this gets the DJ's attention.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSv3Oez4O-4 music video]] for "Ready, Steady, Go" by Paul Oakenfold.

* LemonDemon's ''[=CryptoSanta=]'' references the trope directly:

* Music/MichaelJackson's transformations into a [[WereCat werecat]] and zombie in his music video "Thriller". And his real life facial transformations even more!

* The entire video of [[http://youtu.be/VgmwBuuMvqc Bacterial Contamination]] sung by [[{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]]. Even scarier when you realize the [[DrivenToSuicide context]] of the song.
