A common trope for songs that are part of a movie's soundtrack and (usually) written for that movie, the video consists of clips from the movie. This serves as an additional way of promoting the movie--often becoming its unofficial theme song (unless it's already the ''official'' theme song)--as well as providing another hit for the artist, and the song often finds itself as a bonus track on their next album or an UpdatedRerelease of the current.

This trope naturally arose alongside MTV in TheEighties, as studios -- which already were noticing the power of hit soundtracks to drive ticket sales at the end of TheSeventies -- quickly realized the music video format could just as easily promote a movie as a musician. 1983's ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'' owed much of its success to cannily releasing the soundtrack ''before'' the film hit theaters and using videos for its title song and "Maniac" to promote it.

In more annoying examples, ever since TheNineties, the song will have no direct relation to the movie at all other than the video, especially if the video is fully coherent without the film clips, since it might have been re-edited to include them [[note]]Movie soundtracks are often a dumping ground for record companies trying to recoup some money off of previously-unreleased songs; also, there was an obsession in this decade with getting as many name artists as possible for soundtracks and not everyone could come up with thematically appropriate songs to contribute[[/note]]. The aversion is when the song is featured on a movie soundtrack, and might be directly related to the movie, but won't feature any clips from the movie at all -- though thematic elements or even actors from the film may appear. For examples of those, see "Movie Tie-In Music Video" at OtherCommonMusicVideoConcepts. Note that the two concepts can and often have overlapped in that a video can include actors, elements, ''and'' clips.

For copyright reasons, there is often also a version of the video ''without'' the film clips as well for uses where the rights to the film clips are not available such as the artist's own concerts or media releases. If there ''isn't'' and/or the song doesn't make it beyond the soundtrack album, the videos and/or songs can become among the rarest items in an artist's catalog.

In an inversion of this trope, some {{Fanvid}}s produce a similar effect by including band footage from the song's official video.

[[folder:Film Franchises/Multiple]]
* The ''Film/AustinPowers'' films had several:
** Ming Tea (a {{Supergroup}} featuring Mike Myers, [[Music/TheBangles Suzanna Hoffs]] and Matthew Sweet) released two songs: "BBC" (for ''International Man of Mystery'') and "Daddy Wasn't There" (for ''Goldmember''), which both feature performance footage mixed with clips from their respective films.
** [[Music/SpiceGirls Mel B]]'s "Word Up!" featured the singer dancing in a futuristic costume in the moon base from ''The Spy Who Shagged Me'', coupled with film clips.
** {{Music/Madonna}}'s "Beautiful Stranger" and Music/BritneySpears' "Boys" avert this - although Myers is present in-character, no clips from the film are seen, and the plot is wholly separate from the movies.
** Music/{{Beyonce}}'s "Work It Out" has her in character as Foxxy Cleopatra, and starts with a sequence with the film.
* Two videos for ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'', Huey Lewis' "The Power of Love" from the original (and yet "Back in Time", which mentions to the film's plot, averts the trope) and Music/ZZTop's "Doubleback" from the third.
* The 80s/90s ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' films had several tie-in videos:
** Music/{{Prince}}'s videos for his ''Film/Batman1989'' soundtrack songs avert this, though "Batdance" incorporates numerous ''audio'' clips from the movie, and the music videos for "Batdance" and "Partyman" feature performances by groups of dancers wearing film-themed costumes.
** Siouxsie and the Banshee's "Face to Face" from ''Film/BatmanReturns'' (which is also played in the film itself). The music video features clips interspersed with the band lounging in a house and surrounded by strange imagery and cats.
** Music/{{U2}}'s video for ''Film/BatmanForever'''s "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" turned Bono into an [[AnimatedMusicVideo animated]] Franchise/{{Batman}} comic book villain (inspired by his personas in the Zoo TV tour, The Fly and Mr. Macphisto) and intercut these sequences (including a rooftop performance by the comic-book version of the band) with carefully-edited scenes from the movie.
** ''Forever'' also gave us Seal's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMD2TwRvuoU "Kiss From a Rose"]] and Method Man's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNKI7VNCdcg The Riddler]]". Interestingly, these two have their priorities switched: Seal's song was written independently, but in the video he's standing in front of the Bat-Signal. Meth's video on the other hand is generic gangsta rap fare about some rival crimelord with movie clips awkwardly forced in. However, it's possibly the only song on the soundtrack actually written for the movie.
** ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' gave us "The End Is The Beginning Is The End" by Music/TheSmashingPumpkins, "Gotham City" and its remix by Music/RKelly, and "Look Into My Eyes" by Music/BoneThugsNHarmony. "Foolish Games" by Music/{{Jewel}} averts this, though.
* Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse:
** ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'': "Purple Lamborghini" by Music/RickRoss and Music/{{Skrillex}} (complete with clips of Creator/JaredLeto as ComicBook/TheJoker that are exclusive to the music video) and "Heathens" by Music/TwentyOnePilots.
** ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'': Music/{{Sia}}'s "To Be Human" is entirely made of clips from the film.
** ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'': "[[Music/TheBeatles Come Together]]" by Gary Clark Jr.
** ''Film/{{Birds of Prey|2020}}'': "Diamonds" by Music/MeganTheeStallion & Music/{{Normani}}, "Boss Bitch" by Music/DojaCat and "Sway With Me" by Saweetie & GALXARA.
* Music/MichaelJackson did a video for each of the first two ''Film/FreeWilly'' movies. "Will You Be There" wasn't written for it but exported from his album ''Music/{{Dangerous|Album}}'', so its video just intercuts a stage performance with movie clips. "Childhood (Theme from ''Free Willy 2'')" was written for its film and averts this trope in its video, with the kids from the movie (Jason James Richter and Francis Capra) showing up to join a procession of happy children in flying boats while Jackson mournfully croons in a forest below.
* ''Film/BeverlyHillsCop''
** The Music/PointerSisters video for "The Neutron Dance" features the girls as ushers at a theater where the movie is playing.
** Glenn Frey's "The Heat Is On" has a man watching and editing film clips from the movie while Frey and his band play in the next room.
** Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F" mixes shots of Faltermeyer playing with scenes from the movie, many of which have Faltermeyer green-screened into the action.
* The ''{{Franchise/Ghostbusters}}'' films had two music videos:
** The title theme for the [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 original film]], sung by Ray Parker Jr. The music video features Parker stalking a young woman in a neon-lit apartment, clips from the film, various celebrity cameos, and ends with the main cast dancing in the middle of Times Square.
** Bobby Brown's "On Our Own" (from ''Film/GhostbustersII''), which (like its predecessor) features lots of celebrity cameos and clips from the film played on various cityscape shots.
* The marketing campaign for the 1998 ''{{Film/Godzilla|1998}}'' remake had the interesting tactic of not showing the full profile of the titular reptile in its various music videos:
** Music/TheWallflowers' cover of "[[Music/DavidBowie Heroes]]" mixes clips of the creature destroying objects from the film and intercuts them with the band performing in a partially-destroyed hotel.
** Music/{{Jamiroquai}}'s "Deeper Underground" shows a montage of clips from the film on a projector reel that's being played inside a movie theatre. Besides that, the plot of the video (Godzilla attacking a movie theater) is completely separate.
** Puff Daddy's "Come With Me" simply inserts film clips and effects shots from the film with performance footage. It's still the only one to fully show Zilla (the scene from the movie where he stares down at Matthew Broderick is even replicated at the video's ending).
* The first two ''Film/HomeAlone'' sequels had:
** Darlene Love's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1uJPGRfO5Y All Alone On Christmas]]" which features movie clips from ''Film/HomeAlone2LostInNewYork'', as well as Macaulay Culkin appearing in the video as the song's producer.
** Super Deluxe's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiSFNbjBcvE All I Wanted Was A Skateboard]]" features clips from ''Film/HomeAlone3''.
* ''Film/IntoTheNight'' took this to an extreme: Not only was this trope invoked with its TitleThemeTune performed by Music/BBKing, it was just one of three clips directed by Creator/JohnLandis (who helmed the movie) that were featured in a short documentary special, ''B.B. King "Into the Night"''. The other two were set InDaClub and used his old hit "My Lucille" and a cover of "In the Midnight Hour". Plus, the "nightclub band" consists of Creator/JeffGoldblum[[note]]also the piano player in the studio band for the title song clip, since he's an actual pianist[[/note]], Creator/MichellePfeiffer, Creator/DanAykroyd, Creator/SteveMartin, and Creator/EddieMurphy -- the last two of whom aren't even in the movie[[note]]Though Landis directed/would direct them in other films[[/note]]!
* Most music videos for the ''Film/JamesBond'' movie themes, even those which [[ConceptVideo add a story in-between]]:
** Music/DuranDuran's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp4CR2HcHLQ&ob=av3e video for]] "Film/AViewToAKill", in which many of the clips are cut so it appears the band is actually helping Bond escape his enemies.
** Tina Turner's "Film/GoldenEye", from the film of the same name, is a standard mock-performance video filled with clips from the movie.
** Music/{{Garbage}}'s video for "Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough", featuring Shirley Manson as a killer robot and filled with clips.
** Music/{{Madonna}}'s "Film/DieAnotherDay", which features the singer dancing in an interrogation room as footage from the film plays.
** Music/ChrisCornell's "You Know My Name" from ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' is a standard clip/performance video.
** Music/SamSmith 's "Writing's on the Wall" from ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' features the singer in front of coffins and ruins.
** Music/BillieEilish's "Film/NoTimeToDie" is mostly her performing the song in [[DeliberatelyMonochrome black and white]] with a black background and clips from the film (which are not in black and white but have a [[ColorWash different color filter]] compared to the film).
* ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'':
** Music/{{Live}}'s "Forever May Not Be Long Enough" has the band playing in an Egyptian ruin along with scenes from ''Film/TheMummyReturns''.
** Music/{{Godsmack}}'s "I Stand Alone" has the band playing in an Egyptian ruin, scenes from ''Film/TheScorpionKing'', and a story of sorts where Sully Erna seeks the Scorpion King's temple.
* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'':
** Music/{{Dokken}}'s "Dream Warriors", from the soundtrack of ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors''. The clips are sort-of integrated into the video, with the band performing and running around in a warehouse not unlike the one featured in the dream scene near the beginning of the film. Also, at the end it appears to be AllJustADream... of Freddy's!
-->'''Freddy Krueger:''' What a nightmare! Who were those guys?
** The Fat Boys' "Are You Ready For Freddy?" averts this - despite being produced for ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet4TheDreamMaster'', it has no clips from the film, and relies on an entirely separate plot of the band members being stalked through a house by Freddy (played by Creator/RobertEnglund), who raps at the end.
** "I'm Awake Now" by Music/GooGooDolls features the band watching ''Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare'' on television. They fall asleep, get chased by Freddy, watch more clips of the film in a movie theater and are chased off again by him.
* "Take Me There" in ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'', and "Who Let the Dogs Out?" in ''WesternAnimation/RugratsInParis''.
* ''Film/SpaceJam'' featured several tie-in music videos from several artists:
** The most obvious, of course, is "Space Jam" by Quad City DJ's.
** Monica's "For You I Will" has the singer walking into an abandoned movie theatre, watching clips from the film.
** "Hit 'Em High (The Monstars Anthem}" featured a cavalcade of well-known rappers (LL Cool J, Coolio, Method Man, B-Real, Busta Rhymes) performing in a packed basketball, interspersed with film footage that highlighted the villainous Monstars basketball team.
** Seal's "Fly Like An Eagle", which mixes performance footage with short clips from the film.
** And R. Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly' naturally has scenes playing out on a field and/or billboard while he sings.
* The ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' had tie-in videos commissioned for each film, including:
** [[Music/{{Nickelback}} Chad Kroeger]] and [[Music/{{Saliva}} Josey Scott's]] "Hero" (''Film/SpiderMan1'')
** Sum 41's "What We're All About" (''Spider-Man''; one of the clips even tries to connect with the band footage)
** Ana Johansson's "We Are" (''Film/SpiderMan2'')
** Dashboard Confessional's "Vindicated" (''Spider-Man 2'')
** Switchfoot's "Meant To Live" (''Spider-Man 2''), while not featured on the official soundtrack, had a music video tie-in filmed, which features the lead singer walking through New York singing and interspersed with film clips.
** Train's "Ordinary" (''Spider-Man 2'')
** Snow Patrol's "Signal Fire" (''Film/SpiderMan3''), while not directly featuring film clips, re-enacts the plot of the film as a children's SchoolPlay.
* ''[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'', with "Duel of the Fates", which also includes behind the scenes stuff and a "tone poem" featured on a TV spot. ''[[Film/AttackOfTheClones Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones]]'' had "Across The Stars", which is more straightforward (cuts between Music/JohnWilliams and his orchestra and the movie).
* The ''Franchise/TombRaider'' film series had three:
** The Music/{{U2}} video "Elevation" digitally adds behatted guitarist The Edge to a series of clips from the [[Film/LaraCroftTombRaider first movie]], "hilariously" turning him into Lara Croft's sidekick.
** The two songs from the credits of the [[Film/LaraCroftTombRaiderTheCradleOfLife sequel]], Davey Brothers' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGaXudO0H7o "Heart Go Faster"]] and Music/{{Korn}}'s "Did My Time" (featuring additional footage shot with Angelina Jolie and the band - though the song didn't appear on the soundtrack album for licensing issues).
* ''Film/TopGun'' had two: Music/{{Berlin}}'s "Take My Breath Away" and Music/KennyLoggins' "Danger Zone". The former was made up entirely of film clips, while the latter mixed Loggins' singing in a room with clips from the film.
* The ''Film/{{Transformers|FilmSeries}}'' franchise:
** Music/LinkinPark's "New Divide" from the ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' soundtrack.
** The group again when "Iridescent" was used in ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'', with the band singing the song on the moon while images of Autobots and Decepticons from the film's key scenes stand in the background.
* The 1995 romantic drama ''Literature/WaitingToExhale'' had three separate tie-in videos:
** Music/{{Brandy}}'s "Sitting Up In My Room" features the singer dancing alone, then going to a party to dance, while clips from the film play.
** Music/MaryJBlige's "Not Gon' Cry" mixes film clips with performance footage, as does Music/WhitneyHouston's title track, "Exhale".
* ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' has the video for Music/{{Soundgarden}}'s "Live to Rise". It intersperses clips from the movie with footage of the band performing in front of some blue lights, that give way to a violent burst of energy from the Tesseract.
* Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon
** The TitleThemeTune from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' -- specifically its end credits duet between Music/CelineDion and Peabo Bryson -- was the company's first crack at this trope in 1991. It has a classic setup for this trope -- the singers recording the song in the studio while movie clips run on a screen in the room.
*** [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 The 2017 remake]] received a much more elaborate video in which Music/ArianaGrande and Music/JohnLegend appear to be providing the music for Belle and the Beast's DanceOfRomance.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'''s end credits version of "A Whole New World" teamed up Bryson with Regina Belle. This time the singers are on a mock-Agrabah set with clips being projected on the billowing silks of the tents.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' has ''two'' videos of this type that intercut Music/EltonJohn with scenes from the film: "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" and "Circle of Life". The latter also incorporates the animation studio and a live lion cub into the action.
** WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride has We are One by Angelique Kidjo that has scenes from the film as well as some video clips of the children and Love will Find a Way by Kenny Lattimore and Heather Headley that has scenes of Kovu and Kiara as cubs and young adults that appear during the video.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'''s "Colors of the Wind", as performed by Vanessa Williams, just intercuts a staged performance with clips.
** Ditto for All-4-One's "Someday" from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', the first Disney example of this trope in which the song doesn't appear as part of the film's action but only over the end credits.
** Michael Bolton's rendition of "Go the Distance" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' has the novelty of putting the singer in a museum of ancient Greek artifacts when it's not focusing on clips.
** One of Music/ChristinaAguilera's first videos was the one for ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'''s "Reflection".
** Music/PhilCollins's music video for ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'''s "You'll Be in My Heart" is mentioned under the "Artists" folder below, which marked the end of this trope for Disney for quite some time.
** Ne-Yo's "Never Knew I Needed" marked a new beginning for it with the release of ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog''.
** ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM1YMeDsc-M "When Can I See You Again"]], performed by Music/OwlCity, consists of him singing in an 8-bit landscape spliced with clips from the film.
** Music/DemiLovato's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHue-HaXXzg "Let it Go"]] alternates between clips of the singer on a soundstage and clips from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''.
** Similarly, Music/PanicAtTheDisco's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp-CVYGEsjg "Into the Unknown"]] alternates between clips of Brendon Urie performing and clips from ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII''.
** Music/FallOutBoy's "Immortals" (''WesternAnimation/BigHero6''), while not directly featuring clips, instead shows the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9PxOanFjxQ playing on a 45 RPM]] with [[TheMedic Baymax]]'s face on it.
** Music/JheneAiko's music video for the ''WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon'' song "Lead the Way" features several clips of the film as she sings in an outfit appropriate for the world.
* Creator/WillSmith is a major proponent of this - almost every film he's starred in has an accompanying music video, in which he appears in-character (often with other members of the cast) and directly interacts with the singer (along with clips from the film).
** In Diana King's "Shy Guy" video from ''Film/BadBoys1995'', Smith and Martin Lawrence appear as the two titular cops of the film, reacting to the singer's presence and trying (miserably) to dance to the music.
** ''Film/WildWildWest'' from the 1997 remake of the same name. In the video, Jim West (Smith) pursues a BackFromTheDead Dr. Loveless, who has once again kidnapped Rita Escobar (Salma Hayek). Although the music video premiered months before the film came out, it is a semi-sequel to the film, and ignores most of the movie's ending (namely, Rita has apparently left her doctor husband, and Loveless has appeared alive and well without explanation).
** His videos for the ''Film/MenInBlack'' franchise (the self-titled track from the original film and "Nod Ya Head (Black Suits Comin')" from the [[Film/MenInBlackII sequel]]) features him as J, doing a stage performance together with aliens.
** And when the third didn't feature a song by Smith, Pitbull's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaSZE194D4I "Back in Time"]] still tried to follow the formula.
* Played straight with EllieGoulding's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJtDXIazrMo Love Me Like You Do]]", which was included in the theme song for the first ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' movie and features clips from it in its music video. Averted, though, with Music/TheWeeknd's "Earned It", which was the song that got the bigger Oscar push and the actual nomination, even though "Love Me Like You Do" has a more traditional AwardBaitSong feel to it.
** ''Film/FiftyShadesFreed'' has Julia Michaels' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shHTYg-rOAg Heaven]]", which features clips of Christian Grey from the movie interspersed with the footage of Julia singing.
* Music/LilNasX "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ho88VXJTBg Old Town Road (Original Version)]]" features a montage of video clips from the 2018 video game ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2''.
* The music videos for the ''Music/ConfessionExecutiveCommittee'' songs "YELLOW" and "Blue Flowers" are both taken from various scenes in ''How to Enjoy This World ~Secret Story Film''.
* The video for Music/WhitneyHouston's cover of "I Will Always Love You" uses a lot of clips from ''Film/TheBodyguard''. In addition to promoting the movie the clips also helped to [[HideYourPregnancy distract the viewer from Houston's pregnancy]].
* [[Film/TheNuttyProfessor1996 The Nutty Professor]] remake series:
** The first movie has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjk2oUINxnA Touch Me, Tease Me]] by Case featuring Foxy Brown and Mary J. Blige; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ-rLbOaVV8 I Like]] by Montell Jordan and Slick Rick; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZWS6LQohB8 Ain't Nobody]] by Monica and Treach; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwLZMaj3BpI Last Night]] by Az Yet and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeoNoT2DAIE Ain't No Nigga]] by Jay-Z and Foxy Brown.
** The second movie has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGo4WebNIjM Doesn't Really Matter]] by its co-star Janet Jackson; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLeNjM2VHUc Hey Papi]] by Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek and Amil; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7zsG3XFUd8 Just Friends (Sunny)]] by Musiq Soulchild and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5_vAJ2XZVI Not Even Gonna Trip]] by Honeyz.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Artists]]
* The music video for Adam Lambert's [[SillyLoveSongs generic love ballad]] "Time For Miracles" consists of the singer walking through various CGI disasters from ''Film/TwoThousandTwelve''. It's [[NightmareRetardant exactly as hilarious as it sounds]].
* The video for Music/{{Aerosmith}}'s "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" does this with clips from ''Film/Armageddon1998''.
* Badly Drawn Boy provided two songs (and an entire score) for the movie ''Film/AboutABoy''; the video clips for both built a very funny back story for the duck Marcus accidentally kills in one scene. In the clip for "Something to Talk About", we see how the duck has been tormenting the singer relentlessly since childhood, and he is finally freed from its tyranny when it dies; in the clip for "Silent Sigh" a scientist from the future unearths the frozen duck, and reading its memories finds that it was in love, but its partner was run over by a car -- which happened to have the young singer in the back seat.
* Cleverly played with in the Music/{{Beck|Musician}} video "Deadweight" for the film ''A Life Less Ordinary'', in which Beck walks through a series of surreal situations that reflect scenes from the film. For example, he dials a number on a phone on a beach; the video then cuts to Cameron Diaz's character picking up a phone in the movie.
* Music/BillyIdol:
** "Speed" is a pretty standard example - faux live performance footage coupled with footage from [[Film/{{Speed}} the film of the same name]], primarily action shots of the bus swerving around. In this case it's something specifically written for the movie though, and the lyrics ''do'' at least prominently use driving dangerously fast as a metaphor.
** "Cradle of Love" is one of the more awkward examples, since the song was from the soundtrack of ''Film/TheAdventuresOfFordFairlane'', but the film's main star Creator/AndrewDiceClay was banned from MTV at that point, so a few brief snippets of the film (minus Clay) were shoehorned into the video, which was otherwise built around {{Fanservice}} of a beautiful young woman dancing provocatively to the song.
* Billy Ocean's "When The Going Gets Tough", from ''Film/TheJewelOfTheNile'' features clips mixed with faux-performance footage where the film's lead actors (Creator/MichaelDouglas, Creator/KathleenTurner and Creator/DannyDeVito) all appear and ham it up, pretending to sing.
* Blackstreet, Mya and Mase's "Take Me There" features clips from ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'', coupled with the performers singing and dancing in a life-size redesign of Tommy's bedroom.
* Music/BreakingBenjamin released a music video for "I Will Not Bow" to promote the film ''Film/{{Surrogates}}''. At the end of it, The band collapse revealing they are also surrogates.
* Music/BryanAdams's video for "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" played over the end credits of ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'' was him walking around singing interspersed with clips from the movie.
* [[Music/RoxyMusic Bryan Ferry]] had two of these in 1986:
** For the American {{Recut}} of ''Film/{{Legend}}''[[note]]the original U.K. cut and Director's Cut have an end credits suite of the original Jerry Goldsmith score[[/note]], there's the end credit number "Is Your Love Strong Enough?" The video has Ferry in front of a large screen that appears to be in the catacombs of Darkness's realm, which alternates between showing film footage and clips of Ferry and his backing band featuring [[Music/PinkFloyd David Gilmour]].
** Intended for the end credits of ''Film/TheFly1986'', "Help Me" ultimately was relegated to background music in the bar scene when the director and producers felt it didn't mesh with Howard Shore's underscore, although they all liked the song itself. Although it's not on the soundtrack album, it did get a single release and this trope. In a sharp contrast to "Is Your Love Strong Enough?" the bulk of the video is DeliberatelyMonochrome and minimalist with only Ferry on screen, but as the song reaches its climax it briefly switches to color for a montage of mostly-chronologically organized clips. (If heard on its own, it's a generic SanitySlippageSong; knowing the movie's plot reveals the lyrics as the thoughts of the film's DoomedProtagonist couched in metaphors.)
* Music/CharliXCX has "Boom Clap", whose video is interspersed with clips from ''Film/TheFaultInOurStars''.
* One of the earliest examples of this trope, with its movie arriving about a month before MTV launched, was Christopher Cross's video for [[Film/Arthur1981 "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)"]] intercuts clips of him and his backing band in a recording studio with clips from the movie. It's the first music video for a song that went on to win the Best Original Song Academy Award.
* Chynna Phillips' "I Live For You" mixes performance footage of the singer with clips from ''Film/{{Striptease}}''.
* Music/{{Coolio}}'s "Gangsta's Paradise" (from ''Film/DangerousMinds'') intercuts clips with new footage featuring Creator/MichellePfeiffer and Coolio sitting in a room glaring at each other.
* Music/CyndiLauper:
** "Film/TheGoonies 'R' Good Enough" has the odd tactic of devoting an entire chunk of the music video to nothing ''but'' clips of the movie set in more or less chronological order. The rest of the seven-minute is filled with Lauper joining the group on an adventure, and features from well-known WWF wrestlers like Wrestling/CaptainLouAlbano, [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper "Rowdy" Roddy Piper]] and Wrestling/TheIronSheik, and director Creator/StevenSpielberg. At the end, Lauper summons Wrestling/AndreTheGiant to chase the heels away.
** "Hole in My Heart" from her NonActorVehicle ''Film/{{Vibes}}'' is set in a generic Chinatown (because the song's TitleDrop is followed by "that goes all the way to China") and opens with the staff of a laundry watching a clip from the movie on TV. Lauper rushes through and performs in the sheet-strewn backroom for part of the song, while the movie's MacGuffin materializes in the front and triggers some brief {{fantasy sequence}}s in the second verse, intercut with more movie clips.
* Several Music/DavidBowie videos derived from movie/[=TV=] soundtracks were this trope (for the ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' videos, one of which completely eschewed clips, see OtherCommonMusicVideoConcepts), and only the one for ''Film/AbsoluteBeginners'' shows up on compilations of his work.
** "This Is Not America" (with Pat Metheny Group) consists solely of clips from ''Film/TheFalconAndTheSnowman''.
** "Film/AbsoluteBeginners" intercuts clips with a DeliberatelyMonochrome (save for the odd SplashOfColor) storyline in which Bowie pursues a mystery woman -- a pastiche of an old British cigarette commercial. In the U.K., this served as the ''actual trailer'' for the movie.
** "Fame '90" appeared both on the ''Film/PrettyWoman'' soundtrack and the GreatestHitsAlbum ''Changesbowie''. As a result, there are two different versions of the video -- the original version, which features Bowie surrounded by a border of clips from previous videos, etc., and an alternate created for VH-1 that substitutes movie clips for some of the Bowie scenes. The former is the only one that appears on compilations.
** "Real Film/CoolWorld" intercuts movie clips with a pair of dancers.
* Music/DestinysChild's "Independent Women, Part 1" (from ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'') features the group singing at a board meeting as clips from the film play on a screen behind them.
* Diana King's music video for "Say a Little Prayer" features her singing in a room while clips from ''Film/MyBestFriendsWedding'' play intermittently.
* Dorothee's "Les Petits Ewoks" (from the French version of ''Film/TheEwokAdventure'', which was released theatrically outside of North America) is a straight usage of this trope - the singer is filmed in front of a green-screen forest, singing over clips from the movie.
* Music/DrDre's title track for ''Film/DeepCover'' -- which was not only his first solo single but ''also'' featured newcomer Music/SnoopDogg -- took this approach, with clips from the movie appearing on a screen behind the rappers.
* En Vogue's "Don't Let Go (Love)" had two versions produced. The first features the group performing in a condo for a group of people (including a man - played by Mekhi Phifer - who cheated on every member of the group), while the second reused the performance footage and featured clips from the Jada Pinkett Smith heist film ''Set It Off''.
* Music/FaithHill's video for "Where Are You Christmas?" from the live-action ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' had the singer walking through situations that reflect the film, similar to the aforementioned ''A Life Less Ordinary'' video. There are also appearances by Cindy Lou Who and Max the dog in the new footage.
* The Music/FooFighters have two, but both have storylines as well:
** "Breakout" is inspired by ''Film/MeMyselfAndIrene'', and is probably better than that movie (Dave Grohl and Traylor Howard - who starred in that movie - go to to a drive-in to see ''Me, Myself and Irene'', and Dave eventually suffers a SplitPersonalityTakeover like Creator/JimCarrey does in the movie).
** "The One" was more inspired by ''Film/{{Fame}}'' than ''Orange County'', but still opens with Dave reenacting a scene of said movie.
* Music/{{Garbage}}:
** The first video for "Breaking Up The Girl" contained only bits and pieces of the completed video, as well as behind the scenes footage of the band, and clips from the ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' movie ''Is It College Yet?''. The second did not.
** A version of "When I Grow Up" has clips from ''Film/BigDaddy''.
* Music/GirlsAloud's video for their cover of "Jump (For My Love)" is intercut with film clips from ''Film/LoveActually'', creating the illusion that the band snuck into Downing Street and spotted Hugh Grant's character dancing.
* "I Stand Alone" by Music/{{Godsmack}} does this intermixed with ''Film/TheScorpionKing''.
* "Iris" from Music/GooGooDolls was featured on the ''Film/CityOfAngels'' soundtrack, and features lead singer Johnny Rzenick sitting up in a watchtower using a telescope to look at various things, including scenes from the movie (such as Meg Ryan's character riding a bike).
* Music/GunsNRoses's "You Could Be Mine" uses clips from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', along with new footage with Arnie for a plot where the Terminator is trying to kill them.
* The Music/HarveyDanger cover of "Save It For Later" from the ''Film/TwoHundredCigarettes'' soundtrack featured the band interacting with characters from the film via edited footage and body doubles. For instance at one point the singer drops his glasses in a mostly empty bowl with leftover frosting in it while performing - cut to a shot of Martha Plimpton's character licking frosting off one lens of a similar pair of glasses, then another shot of the singer picking the glasses back up, licking the other lens, and putting them back on. It's just well-integrated enough that if you aren't familiar with the film it might just seem like an exceptionally cameo-filled '80s-themed music video at first.
* [[Music/TheStooges Iggy Pop]]'s "Lust for Life" video contains clips from ''Literature/{{Trainspotting}}''. Notable for the fact that the song is about 20 years older than the film.
* Irene Cara's [[https://youtu.be/ILWSp0m9G2U "Flashdance...What A Feeling"]], appropriately, consists of clips from [[Film/{{Flashdance}} its parent film]].
* The music video for Jon Music/BonJovi's "Blaze of Glory" (from the ''Film/YoungGuns'' soundtrack) features clips from the film being played on an outdoor movie screen.
* Music/{{Juniel}}'s self-composed song "Please" was used as an OST for Japanese film "Still The Water" and so [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgJSUG3_nMk an MV]] consisting of clips from this movie for the song was released. Oddly though for no given reason the music video was deleted from the official channel it was uploaded to.
* The music video for Music/KellyClarkson's "Breakaway", interspersed with not just clips but the poster for ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries 2: Royal Engagement''.
* Kim Carnes's "Invitation to Dance" was created for ''That's Dancing!'', a 1985 ClipShow of dance highlights from movie musicals (mostly those of UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood), so it's not surprising that its music video is this! Carnes is a movie theater employee in the video's framework, intercut with/overlaid on the various vintage clips of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, et.al.
* Lääz Rockit's video for "Leatherface" shows the band rocking in badlands with clips of ''Film/LeatherfaceTheTexasChainsawMassacreIII'' in between. Musical instruments also get destroyed by a chainsaw.
* Limahl's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MccmHwA-c4U&feature=fvst "Never Ending Story"]] uses clips from [[Film/TheNeverEndingStory the titular movie]].
* Music/{{Ludacris}}' "Act A Fool" (from ''[[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious 2 Fast 2 Furious]]'') has the singer rapping beside a selection of street racing vehicles, coupled with clips from the film.
* The video for [=M2M=]'s "Don't Say You Love Me" contained footage from ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' playing on a screen at a drive-in where the video was shot - although the lyrics have ''[[SoundtrackDissonance absolutely nothing]]'' to do with the movie's plot.
* Music/{{Madonna}}, in addition to the ''Austin Powers'' example listed above, had other tie-in videos:
** The "Crazy for You" and "The Gambler" videos show clips from ''Film/VisionQuest'' with Madonna performing at the bar that was shown at the movie.
** "Live To Tell" has Madonna sitting on a chair in a darkened room with a single spotlight on her while clips of her ex-husband Creator/SeanPenn's film ''At Close Range'' are shown.
** "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" (from ''Music/{{Evita}}'') is filled with nothing but clips from the movie.
** "Into The Groove" from ''Film/DesperatelySeekingSusan'' is made entirely of clips from the movie, which starred Madonna and Rosanna Arquette.
** 'This Used to Be My Playground' from ''Film/ALeagueOfTheirOwn''. The film clips appear in various photographs in the album (others just feature her singing).
* Music/MCHammer:
** "Addams Family Rap" from ''Film/TheAddamsFamily'' included random clips from the film as well as new footage of the cast interacting with Hammer.
** "Straight To My Feet" from ''Film/StreetFighter'' has Hammer performing with Deion Sanders in costumes similar to Guile's (and in one of the filming locations from the film) as clips are played throughout.
* The UK release of ''Film/NightAtTheMuseum'' used Mcfly's "Friday Night" in the end credits. As expected, the official music video included clips from the movie alongside footage of the band fooling around in London.
* Music/{{Metallica}}'s first video, "One", was clips of them playing interspersed with scenes from ''Film/JohnnyGotHisGun''. Originally, it was just going to be a PerformanceVideo, until the band bought the film rights to use it in the video (as it is a FilkSong and they would complement it well).
* [=McBride=] & the Ride's "No More Cryin'" was written for the soundtrack of the rodeo film ''8 Seconds'', and its music video features clips from the movie.
* Mika's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm9d5wAXW5c Kickass]]" was written specifically for the [[Film/KickAss movie by the same name]]. It makes sense that the majority of the video is clips of the movie. With the rest being Mika running around singing, and laying on his back singing.
* Music/{{Ministry}}'s "What About Us?" - the band had a cameo playing the song in ''Film/AIArtificialIntelligence'' during the Flesh Fair scene, so the video is mainly an extended version of said cameo, coupling clips of that sequence with footage of the band miming on the same set, or at least somewhere that's supposed to look like the same set. Oddly, the song wasn't even included on the ''A.I.'' soundtrack album, and the video was made to promote Ministry's ''[[GreatestHitsAlbum Greatest Fits]]'' instead.
* Music/{{Motorhead}}:
** "Born To Raise Hell", the opening theme to ''Film/{{Airheads}}''. The music video shows Motorhead, along with Music/IceT and [[Music/UglyKidJoe Whitfield Crane]], breaking into a movie theater screening the film to perform the song.
** The music video for "Hellraiser" features clips from ''Film/HellraiserIIIHellOnEarth'', with some additional footage of Lemmy playing poker with Pinhead.
* The music video for Myra's cover of "Dancing in the Street" contains clips of ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut'' throughout the video.
* The video for Music/ParachuteExpress' song "Dr. Looney's Remedy" utilizes various clips from classic Disney animated shorts and films.
* The video for Music/{{Paramore}}'s "Decode" is filled with clips from ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', and looks like it was shot in the same forest.
* Music/PatBenatar's "Invincible" video does this for ''Film/TheLegendOfBillieJean''.
* Music/PaulMcCartney did this with:
** "No More Lonely Nights," from his film ''Film/GiveMyRegardsToBroadStreet''.
** "Spies Like Us," from [[Film/SpiesLikeUs the film of the same title]]. Creator/JohnLandis, the film's director, directed the music video as well, and starring actors Creator/ChevyChase and Creator/DanAykroyd were also featured in footage shot exclusively for the video.
* Music/PaulSimon's "Father and Daughter" from ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrysMovie''.
* Music/APerfectCircle's "Passive" is a mix of clips from ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' and band-playing clips- except the latter are stylized with a false-color camera to fit in with the visual style used in that scene from the movie. The song was used in the movie.
* [[Music/NoahIndonesia Peterpan]]'s "Tak Bisakah" and "Jauh Mimpiku" are the lead singles of ''Alexandria'' soundtrack, so their music videos have many clips from that film.
* Music/PhilCollins:
** "Two Hearts", released as a tie-in with the comparatively lesser-known Collins film ''Buster'', features a performance by a band featuring multiple versions of himself (all with different disguises) mixed with clips from the film.
** "You'll Be In My Heart", from the ''Tarzan'' animated movie, is a standard clips-mixed-with-performance video.
* Plain White T's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc7ZPcHwIME "Pet Sematary"]] for ''WesternAnimation/{{Frankenweenie}}''. Might also be a case of [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil Music Videos Always Spoil]].
* Music/TheProclaimers' second video for "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)," which included clips from ''Film/BennyAndJoon''.
* Music/ThePsychedelicFurs' "Pretty In Pink": While the original video consisted of Richard Butler lip syncing inside an Alice In Wonderland-inspired house, once it became associated with [[Film/PrettyInPink the film of the same name]], a second video was made featuring movie clips alternating with shots of the band miming with painted-over stills green-screened behind them, which was the director's way of putting a more artistic spin on things.
* Music/{{Queen|Band}}:
** "Flash", the theme song of the 1980 ''Film/{{Flash Gordon|1980}}'' movie, which features the band performing in front a screen showing clips from the film.
** The video for "Radio Ga Ga" contains numerous clips of Fritz Lang's silent film ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'', as well as brief shots from almost every clip for earlier Queen songs.
** The video for "Princes of the Universe" interspersed clips of the film ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' with scenes of the band (on the film set), culminating in a sword fight between Music/FreddieMercury and a guest-starring Creator/ChristopherLambert.
** A particularly egregious Queen example is "One Year of Love", also from ''Film/{{Highlander}}'', which originally had no video. The song later appeared on Queen's second compilation album (''Classic Queen'' or ''Greatest Hits II'', depending on your locale), and a video was needed to make the album match its corresponding VHS video compilation. One was cobbled together from ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' clips and clips from other Queen videos.
** And the video for the song "The Show Must Go On" was ''entirely'' composed of clips from previous Queen videos. This was because Freddie Mercury's health was rapidly declining by this point, and he could not appear in a new video.
** One more Queen example: Their video for the song "Bohemian Rhapsody", one of the earliest music videos, was re-cut to include clips from the movie ''Film/WaynesWorld'', after said movie [[RevivalByCommercialization featured it prominently on its soundtrack and became a hit.]]
** [[PosthumousCredit Released four years after Freddie's death]], "Too Much Love Will Kill You" is comprised of clips of past videos and live shows.
** The video for Freddie's version of [[https://youtu.be/mLRjFWDGs1g?si=0zJY8njLNEqBC7WS "The Great Pretender"]] shows him revisiting the music videos for "I Want To Break Free", "Radio Ga Ga", "It's A Hard Life", and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", as well as his solo songs "Made In Heaven", and "I Was Born To Love You".
* The video for Music/RascalFlatts' "Life Is a Highway" features several clips from ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'', on whose soundtrack it was included.
* The Music/RedHotChiliPeppers cover of "Love Roller Coaster" alternates between clips of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica'' and an animated version of the band themselves meeting Beavis and Butthead on a literal "love rollercoaster" (or at least, one shaped like a heart).
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the clip for Music/{{REM}}'s "The Great Beyond" -- the clips from ''Film/ManOnTheMoon'' are presented as commercial breaks during a live taping of their performance for TV. At one point, the band members waiting out their break throw darts at a screen the clips are being projected upon. Moreover, the band actually discovers the FourthWall and escapes by smashing it, emerging from a TV set somewhere else; this is a subtle reference to Creator/AndyKaufman's experimentation with various television tropes.
* Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}'s [[https://youtu.be/_mEC54eTuGw?si=d0o1D8dnQeCffHUE music video for "Angry"]] has Creator/SydneySweeney dancing in the backseat of a convertible driving down a street with electronic billboards showing clips from previous Rolling Stones music videos and live shows, some stylized after their previous albums' covers, [[PosthumousCredit which also allows Charlie Watts, who'd passed away 2 years prior, to be featured]].
* Music/{{Roxette}} had two hits featured as tie-in music videos:
** "It Must Have Been Love", the lead single from ''Film/PrettyWoman'', was chosen despite the film's producers asking the group to produce a different song. It became the group's most successful single release, and turned into a BreakawayPopHit three months after the film's release. The video features the band performing in a warehouse, mixed with footage from the film.
** "Almost Unreal" is an interesting example, as it was originally intended for the 1993 Bette Midler film ''Hocus Pocus'' before being shuffled to act as the lead single for ''Super Mario Bros.'', and featuring the standard mix of film clips and performance footage.
* Roxi Drive's "[[https://youtu.be/yIKDDRi3XT0 All Night Long]]" video uses clips of the Canadian ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'' {{Mockbuster}} ''Heavenly Bodies''.
* Aside from the two in the upper folder, Music/{{Seal}} has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXiqD1XgxiM "This Could Be Heaven"]] from ''Film/TheFamilyMan''.
* Semisonic's FNT had two versions, one with clips from ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'' and another from ''The Long Kiss Goodnight'' starring Creator/SamuelLJackson and Geena Davis.
* Music/SixpenceNoneTheRicher's "Kiss Me" has the group watching scenes from ''Film/ShesAllThat'' on mini-televisions, as well as appearances by lead stars Rachel Leigh Cook and Freddie Prinze Jr.
** Another version has scenes from the TV show ''Dawson's Creek''.
* Music/SmashMouth:
** "All Star" video originally contained clips from ''Film/MysteryMen'' and sported cameos from the cast of the film, but when the song became [[BreakawayPopHit much more popular than the movie]], the clips and the scene featuring the cast were taken out.
** When the same track was used as the opening song for ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'', a video was released showing members of the band looking for members of the cast in a hotel, and keeping on narrowly missing each other. There were also a few scenes which referenced the Power of Love video done for ''Film/BackToTheFuture1''.
** The music video for "Holiday in my Head" is full of clips from ''Film/{{Clockstoppers}}'' as well as appearances from the movie's stars Jesse Bradford and Paula Garcés.
* As it was released as a single to promote ''Dangerously Close'', The Smithereens' "Blood and Roses" originally mixed clips of the movie with footage of the band playing in an empty school, as one of the film's characters lurked in the background. While not technically a BreakawayPopHit, since the song was already released on their debut album, the song became more popular than the movie, so it later was re-edited into a straight performance video. They couldn't cut the character out of background shots though, leading people who'd never even heard of the movie to wonder why this mysterious man in sunglasses was in the video just standing around doing nothing.
* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Bush Stan Bush]] played guitar in front of scenes from the [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie animated Transformers movie]] -- AutobotsRockOut !!!
* Creator/SteveMartin's rendition of "Dentist!" from ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'' got one of these by taking the actual sequence and reediting it to include clips from the the rest of the movie. For the "Say aaaaaaah!" ending, it looks like [[spoiler: Audrey II's offspring]] are handling the chorus part!
* Australian pop-rock band Taxiride's "Get Set" music video featured film clips from ''Film/{{Election}}''.
* Music/TenaciousD's "POD" from ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'' takes it in a very meta direction: the song is specifically about how awesome the movie is, and the video has them singing it in the middle of a crowded theater showing the movie itself (and eventually getting thrown out by security after annoying one too many people).
* Music/WakaFlockaFlame did "Game On" for ''Film/{{Pixels}}'', featuring footage from the film mixed with a performance in an 8-bit inspired set.
* The video for Music/{{Warrant}}'s cover of "[[Music/{{Queen}} We Will Rock You]]" is full of clips from the 1992 boxing movie ''Gladiator''.
* Music/WeirdAlYankovic did this with bits of ''Film/JohnnyDangerously'' cut into "[[Music/DareToBeStupid This Is the Life]]"; rather than a PerformanceVideo, Al appears as a gangster in a similar 1930s nightclub setting. A {{Recut}} of the video created for 1985's ''The Compleat Al'' eliminated the movie clips and thus abridged the song, but later compilations and Al's [=YouTube=] channel all use the original version.
** Via a channel-surfing motif, "UHF" combines clips from the movie with Al spoofing video stars he hadn't already tackled onscreen (Music/TalkingHeads, Music/{{Prince}}, Music/BillyIdol, Music/TheBeatles, Music/PeterGabriel, etc.).
* Music/{{Sia}}'s "Rainbow", from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'', alternates between scenes from the film, including her character Songbird Serenade, and footage of dancer Creator/MaddieZiegler, who has a habit of appearing in Sia's music videos.
* In addition to the aforementioned "Love Me Like You Do", Music/EllieGoulding has also played this trope straight with the music videos for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrNTOo4KH8c Beating Heart]]" from ''Film/{{Divergent}}'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvP_OwVSFpk Still Falling for You]]" from ''[[Literature/BridgetJones Bridget Jones' Baby]]'', ''and'' for her CoveredUp version of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2KKcjSOBmk How Long Will I Love You]]" from the ''About Time'' soundtrack.
* Music/{{Wheatus}}' "Teenage Dirtbag" was released as a single to promote the film ''Film/Loser2000'' - the video mainly mixes clips from the movie with footage of the band playing in a school gym (and later on at a prom). Through re-contextualizing certain scenes and adding new footage of lead actors Creator/JasonBiggs and Creator/MinaSuvari, the video still follows the plot of the song's lyrics closer than it does that of the movie... though it's also shown to all be a dream of Jason's character.
* Music/{{Yello}}: The music video for "Jingle Bells" intercuts snippets from ''Film/TheSantaClause1'' with footage of Dieter Meier reciting the song's voiceover in a blue void. The only other original footage is a cameo from Creator/TimAllen depicting him in-character as Scott Calvin.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* "How Do You Talk To An Angel?" by The Heights, from the TV show of the same name, mixes a handful of shots from the show with new performance footage. Interestingly, the song (and video) became a hit just as the show was cancelled by FOX.
* Parodied in the ''Series/MadTV1995'' skit[=/=]ShowWithinAShow "Pretty White Kids with Problems". Midway through the second skit, the announcer mentions a tie-in soundtrack that is overflowing with indie artists, as well as a mock music video by Lisa Loeb, who appears in person to sing the theme song and interact with the characters as they deal with their issues.
* The Series/ComedyCentralRoastOfPamelaAnderson opened with a music video montage featuring clips from all over her career set to the songs "[[Music/MotleyCrue Looks that Kill]]" "[[Music/BlackEyedPeas My Humps]]" "[[Music/LennyKravitz Lady]]" and "[[Music/OkGo So Damn Hot]]". The footage included clips from Baywatch, Miserable, VIP, and Barbedwire, as well as pictures from her modeling career and close-ups of her "assets." The video gradually ramps up speed before ending on the scene from Music/{{Miserable}} were she [[spoiler: catches lead singer A.J. Popoff in her mouth and eats him before strutting away.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Lisa Lougheed's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usFFKNRB2z8 "Run with Us"]], the credits theme for ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'', uses clips from the show's pre-series ''Lost Star'' special, which predates the writing of the song (let alone Lougheed's version of it) by nearly two years!
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWyBN14Kp-A music video]] for Music/CatHairballs is made up entirely of clips from multiple episodes, but still manages to tell a story by using "[[Recap/RenAndStimpy2x09TheGreatOutdoorsTheCatThatLaidTheGoldenHairball The Cat That Laid The Golden Hairball]]" as a through line. The video is about Stimpy being forced to lick up and hwarf hairballs onto a conveyor belt while Ren Stamps them with a big "Grade A" stamp for approval. While at first things seem fun and Stimpy seems happy to be farmed for this {{Unobtainium}}, things turn darker when Stimpy's body starts running out of places to lick and the act of hwarfing becomes more draining and painful as production (and the song) wramps up. Finally this ends with Stimpy, now naked and totally licked clean, suffering a HeroicRROD and passing out on the conveyor belt, and Ren violently [[spoiler: branding Stimpy's [[PainToTheAss ass]]]] with the "Grade A" stamp.
