Favorite Music Video of all time - what's yours?

Top on my list has to be "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys. Directed by Spike Jonze who has a history of amazing music videos including "Praise You" and "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim (WoC is the video with Christopher Walken dancing in the hotel Lobby).

Post your favorite music video here:

over favorite videos like what's been produced since the advent of MTV with an eye toward being a video. Plus, I haven't watched MTV since the 80s so I've probably missed out on stuff so I'll just leave some Abbath and friends right here:
