Great tunes with crap videos
I know the video to a track is pretty inconsequential, but imo one kind of associates it with the music.
So - great tune with crap video - this is a stinker tbh. Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You Wtf!? How did this come about, and why did nobody stop it? Stardust: "Yo we have a tune here destined to be in the top 10 all-time best dance tunes of all time. We need a video." Video Guy: "No worries bro. I've got a great idea!" Stardust: "Yeah?" Video Guy: "A kid is running around on some hills playing with a toy plane...but it gets stuck on a cloud!" Stardust: "...what happens next!!!!!???" Video Guy: "Some weird silver guy that is living on that very cloud what looks like cotton wool throws it back...the end!" Stardust: "Let's do it!" Anyone got any worse than this? |

Yeah I've always thought that was a strange video, but there's somthing quite nice about it but It doesn't suit that paticular song.

The boy gets his plane back in the end. I suppose that's good. I'm struggling to think of any more examples. This one is pretty bad. Electronic - Get The Message |

Let's face it 90%+ of videos made to go with music tracks are crap anyway.

I think some of the Madonna songs are great but the videos are quite rude like Boderline.

Diamonds and Stay by Rihanna, usually her videos are amazing but all the visuals for the Unapologetic era were very underwhelming, I can kind of understand with the Stay video as it's such a suttle song but overall these videos were awful!

Break the Ice is one that immediately springs to mind when this question is asked.

Ellie Goulding- Explosions such a great song and we get a crappy live video not good enough.
Katy Perry- Dark Horse just plain underwhelming in everyway. |

If you want a crap video then look no further than Pour It Up. |

I don't necessarily think the video is crap I just thought that the song deserved a better video. |

Recent one then, Calling All Hearts by Jessie J and Robin Thicke. Thicke looks like a drunk uncle at a wedding; the creepy smile and slightly dazed look isnt doing him any favours.
Also its unfortunate that Jessie J looks like Jo from S Club 7 when the song sounds like an S Club 7 cut. |

Although Radiohead did some classic videos in their time ('Street Spirit', 'Just', 'Paranoid Android' come to mind) one of my absolute favorite songs of them 'Fake Plastic Trees' has such a let down video of Thom Yorke in dodgy blonde hair being wheeled around a supermarket in a trolley like a baby...shame for such a life changing song of mine!

Lady Gaga, Edge of Glory was my initial thought.
Epic song, pitiful video. |

One of their best songs but a crap video. To be fair though, it was actually years before promo videos caught on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrL-bYpY9Cc
Not sure about the dodgy, fake-stereo remix either. |
