* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew9YQVRSlHE music video to the AnJ song "Gorbachov"]]. Hot Russian women are [[DistressedDamsel under attack]] by Communist zombies, who get their asses kicked by a Conanized UsefulNotes/MikhailGorbachev wielding everything from his shield and axe to machine guns to laser eyes.

* Music/OZone's "Dragostea din tei" (aka the Numa Numa song), covered by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B6ktMC60Lc opera singers]] (which has been done [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bN7dqAvGX0 a few times]], and it sounds great both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c3oB600Jx4 with]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2m7YcsyLnA without vocals]]), with backing orchestra. The finishing touch is the camera pan over the crowd, a good number of whom are doing the dance, which also happens [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stAVBi4Pyr4 here]].

** The Swedes seem to be a target for this. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZjpnXcGZ9w P.O.D's music video for their song, 'Boom',]] depicts a ping pong match between the band and the blue and [[CriticalResearchFailure orange]] dressed "Sweden" team. Played in an empty stadium, the match features an epic dive to save a point, a wrist injury resulting from that dive, baseball-style arguing a ref's decision, a Bobby Knight parody flipping his lid when the call is overturned in favor of the Swedes, complete with ripping up the decorative plants next to the competition area, 'another' epic dive to save a point, this time in slow motion, and culminates in a line brawl. All this was over a winner's check for $35,000, that presumably had to be split evenly between the members of a platinum selling band.

* ''Shower'' by ''Music/{{Psychostick}}'' makes it to an impressive length of five and a half minutes.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ElIXnmw5-U music video]] to Daughtry's "Outta My Head". It looks like a borderline-StalkerWithACrush CarChase (well, Chris is in a [[CoolCar Dodge Charger]] and she's a BadassBiker [[BikerBabe Babe]]), practically out of an action movie...and why?[[spoiler: Because [[NiceGuy the girl forgot her cell phone and Chris wanted to give it back to her]].]]

** Most [[UpToEleven ridiculously overdone]] in their 1996 song ''Ich wünschte, ich würde mich für Tennis interessieren''. Frontman Dirk von Lowtzow delivers an [[TearJerker absurdly emotional vocal performance]], to the point of almost breaking his voice. The song is about how [[SeriousBusiness he would like to have an interest for tennis]].

* OlderThanSteam: [[Music/JohannSebastianBach J. S. Bach]], of all people. He wrote a cantata about coffee! [[MustHaveCaffeine Coffee addiction]] was the [[TheNewRockAndRoll moral panic du jour]] in 18th century Leipzig, so Bach wrote a musical piece in favor of the drink: ''Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht'' ("Be still, stop chattering") (BWV 211), better known as the "Coffee cantata." The story concerns a young woman who is in love with coffee. Her father attempts to bribe her out of the habit by promising to find her a husband if she gives it up, to which she agrees. She ends up getting her way after all, by secretly telling her suitors that [[LysistrataGambit she will only marry them if they allow her to drink coffee]].

* Sisqo's "Thong Song". And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3wtt8yRxYU HOW.]] A song about [[StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks butts]] and the scanty garments that cover them that just keeps escalating in urgency.

** "I'm Only Sleeping" from ''Music/{{Revolver|Beatles Album}}}'', about sleeping.

** "Taxman" from ''Music/{{Revolver}}'', about the irritation of paying taxes.

* "Dragostea din tei" (aka the Numa Numa song), covered by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B6ktMC60Lc opera singers]] (which has been done [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bN7dqAvGX0 a few times]], and it sounds great both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c3oB600Jx4 with]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2m7YcsyLnA without vocals]]), with backing orchestra. The finishing touch is the camera pan over the crowd, a good number of whom are doing the dance, which also happens [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stAVBi4Pyr4 here]].

* The music video for the ''Music/Panic at the Disco'' song "Victorious" could nicely be described as taking your victories where you find them. More accurately, it could be described as a man reacting with slack jawed amazement as he helps an old lady across the street in slow motion or awarding himself a million dollar check for not calling his ex after a bad breakup. And of course, pouring champagne all over himself in triumph.

** Inverted with "Space Olympics", which is a 1980s-style power ballad about competing in the Space Olympics of 3022, but which focusses more on the various logistical headaches and budgetary problems that hosting a large-scale sporting event in the vacuum of space would result in -- essentially, making the awesome utterly mundane. On the other hand, played straight when the narrator explains that drug tests are mandatory and declares atheletes winners just for passing them.
