This describes the situation where a MusicVideo follows a distinct conceptual narrative -- but it's a narrative which has absolutely nothing to do with the song's lyrics or theme nor with the band's overall image, save (perhaps) only the thinnest of connections. Typically, no justification of the concept (such as AllJustADream) is ever attempted.

* {{Starflyer 59}}'s "No New Kinda Story". The lyrics are pretty vague, but seem to be about the singer's life being no different from a story. The video is a tribute to ''TheSeventhSeal'', with a man getting poisoned by his car's air conditioning and then losing [[ChessWithDeath a chess match against Death]].
* {{Asian Kung-Fu Generation}}'s "''Kimi No Machi Made''" is about a guy who wants to fly over to his lover's town like a bird. The music video, on the other hand, is about a synchronized swimming duo persevering despite [[CrowningMomentOfFunny getting attacked by a giant lobster in the middle of a competition]].
* Cracker's "Low" is basically a LoveIsADrug song. The video, however, is mainly about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYdlqjiQPAc their frontman boxing Sandra Bernhard]]... [[spoiler:and losing pretty badly]]. It ''could'' be some sort of metaphor about dysfunctional relationships, mind you.

[[AC:Dance/Electronic]]
* Art vs. Science's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRZ-jLOrFfk video]] for "Parlez-Vous Francais". The song is about asking French girls to [[GratuitousFrench take off their shirts]] and something about spying on the sexy, Cha-Cha-ing neighbours.

* Def Leppard, "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" (second version). The giant silos, a guy walking through a machine shop/factory, weird bondage fetishes on a raft with two guys wearing gas masks -- none of this has anything to do with the song itself.
[[AC:Heavy Metal]]
* {{Dio}}'s "Holy Diver" looks like a somehow cheaper rendition of an [[CaveDwellers Ator movie]].
[[AC:Pop]]
* TheKillers' "All These Things That I've Done" appears to be about the band trying to run out on their girlfriends... while wearing cowboy outfits... and then the women pursue them with boomerangs. The UK version, on the other hand, is pure SweetDreamsFuel.
* Ayumi Hamasaki, "Angel's Song" features Ayumi transforming into a werewolf and fighting off bad guys from her using kung fu.
* Will Young's "Friday's Child" opens with Will learning to swim and moves on through him improving, winning medals and eventually swimming the English Channel.
* {{Lights}}'s "Ice", The lyrics are about a boyfriend who's a male IceQueen, the music video is about Lights fighting her EvilTwin.
* "My Oh My" from {{Aqua}}. The lyrics involve references to medieval kingdoms and Robin Hood, but the music video is about how pirates treat their captives.
* "Take Me To Your Heart" from RickAstley. The lyrics are about dating, but the music video is about studio work.
* LadyGaga's video for "Telephone" is the queen of this trope.
** The "Alejandro" video might top "Telephone" in sheer lyrics/video disconnection.
[[AC:Pop Punk]]
* Just about any video by CoheedAndCambria. Considering how the band works, it isn't surprising.
** Their video for "Welcome Home" actually shows us much of what the song is about. "Devil in Jersey City" also shows us things in TheAmoryWars, though not actually stuff that happens during the song. "[[MindScrew The]] [[SurrealMusicVideo Suffering]]", however...
*** The video for "A Favor House Atlantic" isn't just [[SoundtrackDissonance as far from the content of the song as you can get,]] it shows ''a fake band'' playing the song.
*** And the video for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR_Nxk2BpWM The Broken]]has giant mechas blowing teach other to bits.
* If anyone is willing to explain what FallOutBoy's song [[OverlyLongName "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me"]] has to do with ''[[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire hunting]]'', please enlighten us.
* Panic at the Disco's "Lying is the Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" has the potential to be interesting. But instead has them wandering around a city with fishtanks on their head.
[[AC:Pop Rock]]
* DuranDuran
** "Come Undone". The [[http://tinyurl.com/ygx5mrh lyrics]] appear to be about offering to help a person who's coming apart at the seams. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFbDhbl3QPY video]] is about a woman performing an underwater escape from chains and a male transvestite, among other images.
[[AC:Power Metal]]
* Dragonforce's "Operation Ground and Pound"... tentatively linked, in a general sense, but the song does not mention Starcraft-esque ships at all. Also, the guitar solo features Herman and Sam playing a fighting game on a TurboGrafx16.
[[AC:Rock]]
* Pat Benatar, "Shadows Of The Night": she's a WWII flying ace.
* Don Johnson, "Heartbeat". Don, a photographer, chases a beautiful figment of his imagination while rocking out with Dweezil Zappa.
* Any number of Huey Lewis And The News' videos.
* Hoodoo Gurus, "My Girl": lead singer Dave Faulkner plays a racing greyhound trainer preparing his hound (named My Girl) for a big race. Totally tongue-in-cheek (but poignant in its own way), but people took it literally and assumed the song itself was about a dog! Eventually whenever reporters asked the band to explain any of their songs' lyrics, they'd always say "it's about a greyhound."
* ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd2e0Sv2J9k Les]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtToc5EmSho Trois]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bLuSbQ2P_s Accords]]'' skirts between this and SurrealMusicVideo. Then again, their songs ''is'' rife with surrealism and WordSaladLyrics.
* "It's Inevitable" by Charlie is set in a huge bakery, and looks at first like its boy-stalks-girl lyrics will be played out by two of the chefs. Then one character's clumsiness kicks off a ''gigantic'' food fight, making it "inevitable" that everyone on the set will get a faceful of frosting.

Many videos which qualify as homages might fit into this category; in fact, quite a few of our NotableMusicVideos are examples of Lyrics/Video Mismatches. If taken too far, you can end up with a SurrealMusicVideo.
----
!!Examples:
[[AC:Alternative Rock]]
* Music/TheSmashingPumpkins, "Tonight Tonight". The video is essentially a shot-for-shot remake of the 1902 sci-fi short ''A Trip to the Moon''.
* Garbage's "Special" looks like a clip out of ''{{Descent}}''.
** Much more like ''{{CrimsonSkies}}'', actually. Either way, it has nothing to do with the song.
* Cake's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8qsCpLxPPo "Love You Madly"]] depicts an ''{{Iron Chef}}''-style cooking contest.
* Big Country
** "In a Big Country". [[http://tinyurl.com/cuzr8x Lyrics]] are about encouraging someone who's feeling depressed. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j21ULe2hrY4 video]] is some sort of spy drama involving scuba diving and rappelling down a cliff.
* {{Starflyer 59}}'s "No New Kinda Story". The lyrics are pretty vague, but seem to be about the singer's life being no different from a story. The video is a tribute to ''TheSeventhSeal'', with a man getting poisoned by his car's air conditioning and then losing [[ChessWithDeath a chess match against Death]].
* {{Asian Kung-Fu Generation}}'s "''Kimi No Machi Made''" is about a guy who wants to fly over to his lover's town like a bird. The music video, on the other hand, is about a synchronized swimming duo persevering despite [[CrowningMomentOfFunny getting attacked by a giant lobster in the middle of a competition]].
* Cracker's "Low" is basically a LoveIsADrug song. The video, however, is mainly about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYdlqjiQPAc their frontman boxing Sandra Bernhard]]... [[spoiler:and losing pretty badly]]. It ''could'' be some sort of metaphor about dysfunctional relationships, mind you.
[[AC:Country]]
* Shania Twain, "Gonna Getcha Good". Ah yes, I remember ''{{Tron}}''.
[[AC:Dance/Electronic]]
* Art vs. Science's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRZ-jLOrFfk video]] for "Parlez-Vous Francais". The song is about asking French girls to [[GratuitousFrench take off their shirts]] and something about spying on the sexy, Cha-Cha-ing neighbours. The video, on the otherhand, is about a bad mime picking a fight with another mime after being shown up at miming (or...something) and the escalating mime-battle that ensues. It's actually quite well choreographed.
[[AC:Fan Works]]
* Any number of videos of movie tie-in songs, by virtue of the video [[VideoFullOfFilmClips desperately trying]] to make up for the fact that the song has no relation to the movie.
[[AC:Hard Rock]]
* The Darkness' [[GuiltyPleasures "I Believe In A Thing Called Love"]] features an alien attack straight out of the 1950s.
