What's the strangest (or most bizarre) music video you've ever seen?

[UnemployedandMessy]

Like the title says: what's the weirdest and most disturbing music video you've ever seen? For me, it was Marilyn Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams. It still gives me nightmares, even after all these years.

I remember freaking out with Obscure by Dir en Grey, that one is really bizarre

I remember freaking out with Obscure by Dir en Grey, that one is really bizarre

That's one of the most disturbing imagery I've ever seen

Smack my bitch up by the prodigy, easily.

Ends with an odd twist. I hate the prodigy in general but this video stuck with me since I saw it as a kid on MTV at one point, for all the wrong reasons.

 

[NotReallyHere]

Maybe not the strangest, maybe not the weirdest, but for the sake of being the most intense video I had seen up to that point...

Twelve-year-old me was positively knocked on my butt when I came home from school and saw that on MTV one afternoon

( Oh, and I totally bought the album shortly thereafter )

Especially early 2000s music clips were like "make it in a way people won't need drugs" lolol.

For example:

[Morgana Veil]

Seen most if not all of these videos and probably more deranged videos that I can't remember anymore (I have an awful memory, what can you do?) this one always stuck out to me as off and wrong for some reason. I love weird and off-putting stuff like this myself.

Wow. Really WOW. I'm glad I didn't watch it when I was a kid... or I would be way crazier than I already am right now. lolol

Burn this video with nuclear fire!!! lol:

[RetroFreax]

Try:
Nurse With Wound
Fantomas (Mike Patton Project)

If yo want to experience freaky video just like Aphex Twin (above), check:

Carpenter Brut - Imaginary Fire

 

[Bonkers225]

 

[qw90700]

Wow even loonier than Looney Tunes lolol.

 

[Sumea]

not the strangest but it is up there for sure. Trying to really misdirect at least younger audience with the video, and making the intended audience laugh their arse off.

 

[bjork]

This Lou Reed one gets pretty weird about 1:40 in

The one for Land of Confusion has the most visually unappealing puppets ever so I don't like that one much either. There are probably others but its been years since I watched proper music videos so they aren't coming to me offhand

Wow even loonier than Looney Tunes lolol.

This MV scared me as a kid.

Wow they remade this video that is also a remake!!1 lol:

It's Weird Al Yankovic - Like A Surgeon. Damn Weird Al doesn't let this website embed the video lol.

With context: MTV making a music video of Galerians to Evanescence's "Bring Me Back to Life"

Without context: That one 2000s era youtube amv where its a cool pool party with some soft europop in the background and things quickly go wrong and everyone dies before the apocalypse. Iykyk

 

[heywusuh]

Not the strangest, but I remember these causing me a huge impression when I was very young...

 

[GoodWall_533]

This is all in one take, mind you.

 

[Max]

 

[PhrawzT]

 

[snoonch]

The guy from Take That made a music video as bizarre as his monkey biopic

 

[qw90700]

This is all in one take, mind you.

Since I saw something about the Primus I'm obligated to scream "Primus sucks!!!" lolol.
