The Maynard Triplets are a lovely trio of ladies who remix famous pop songs with popular geek books (like Harry Potter's Beyonce "Halo" Ballad). Their latest conquest: a Hunger Games spin on Bruno Mars' "Grenade". It's supremely silly and ridiculously sweet. Still, we love anyone that can find a rhyme for "tracker jacker" in a song. More »

This is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, a Harajuku model/singer whose music video for the song "PONPONPON" won fans across the globe for its thrilling reenactment of what would happen if you subsisted solely on ayahuasca and gumdrops for a few weeks. More »

We all know that Big Trouble in Little China is the best movie ever made (in which Kurt Russell is extremely confused). But did you know that director John Carpenter and his band the Coup DeVilles starred in a magnificent music video to accompany the flick? It's true! I owe Jalopnik bon vivant Ray Wert for this knowledge. In terms of 1980s vanity music videos, this is tied with Philip Michael Thomas' angel-dust-tinged R&B anthem "Just The Way I Planned It." Special effects-wise, it edges out "Doctor in Distress." More »

Turns out Godzilla (or at least a kaiju very similar to Godzilla) is simply misunderstood. Check out this amazing music video that will transport you back to the 1990s, a time when each band had a story to tell via claymation monster. More »

As a companion piece to Glen Duncan's novel The Last Werewolf, animators George Fort and Monica Smith (Superjail!, Venture Bros.) teamed up with cabaret band The Real Tuesday Weld — who you may know from the video game L.A. Noire — for "Me and Mr. Wolf," a gleefully violent music video that harkens back to the animation of the 1940s. Witness a werewolf and a little red femme fatale wander through a hellish (albeit bouncy) cartoon world. More »

As if the 1996 time travel flick Dinosaur Valley Girls weren't weird enough, the "randomly topless chicks meet allosaurus" movie takes a break in the middle to share this bizarro dance sequence. Called "Jurassic Punk," the song is about the mighty allosaurus and all the biting and hunting that he does. Also, he chases a lot of topless cave women. And ALSO, the topless cave women like to dance in caves full of purple lights and dry ice. You know, just the way they used to do during the Cretaceous. More »

Way back in July of 2004, I spent a month living in Berlin. While there, I was subjected to a lot of unapologetically deranged ear-worm Europop. Two songs were huge that summer: O-Zone's "Dragostea Din Tei" (which had yet to blow up in America) and the theme song to the German comedy Traumschiff Surprise – Periode 1, a Star Trek parody in the vein of the American Naked Gun flicks.

Our number one pick for the Star Wars Music Video Festival submission is this AC/DC mashup, hands down. In fact, we can only hope that the creator kalleanka71 will go back and re-score the entire saga with AC/DC (and maybe a few other classic rock gems.) We can just imagine "Back In Black" blasting for the Emperor's appearance. [via Blastr] More »

When David Tennant left Doctor Who , the cast and crew made a music video of "(I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles" by The Proclaimers for the wrap party. Footage of Tennant hanging with the band surfaced a while back, but here's the whole shebang. Looking good, Ood. More »

Incredibly, here's a music video that gives that anime swimming pool of horror we showed you last week a run for its money. For the music video for their single "Big Bad Wolf," Duck Sauce — a.k.a. DJ supergroup A-Trak and Armand Van Helden — transformed themselves into a duo of groin-visages. Probably not safe for work, definitely not safe for sanity. More »

Tim Curry may be more famous for his performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but his musical turn as "The Grand Wizard" in the 1986 British TV movie The Worst Witch is equally incredible. Watch as he warbles "Anything Can Happen On Halloween," a tune that will ignite the jack-o'-lantern in your loins. This song belongs in karaoke parlors across the planet. More »

Björk science-tinged new album Biophilia has inspired some delightfully cosmic music videos. Her recent video for the track "Moon" is no different. Watch as Iceland's de facto cultural ambassador prances about serenading (what looks like) a sponge. Also, is that a zither suit? I need to get myself one of those. Biophilia will be out October 11.

Sergeant Slaughter of G.I. Joe fame was a lot of things: wrestler, mustache paragon, slayer of mutants. But did you know he once fought a monster truck? Sadly, we do not get to see him fight the truck in the above video, but he did write a song about his epic duel. A true troubadour. After listening to it three times in a row, I cannot remember my own birthday. More »

Infinite Jest is one of the great novels of our era, but it would probably make a terrible movie. In any case, this is as close as we're ever likely to get: a music video for the Decemberists' "Calamity Song," that pays tribute to a scene from David Foster Wallace's great novel. More »

Michel Gondry has directed oodles of music videos for Iceland's warbling ambassador ("Hyperballad" is the prom song I never had). For her latest single "Crystalline," he's turned her into a singing disco singularity who oversees an asteroid or something. Her new album Biophilia drops September 26. More »
