Post a song where the video disappointed, or maybe even ruined the song for you!

I'll start - first, some background. I am not of the sort that saw videos before hearing songs, in fact, I rarely have seen videos much at all except now in this music group. I've met my music from radio, friends, and (in the day) Napster, now Spotify - i.e. not seeing videos first (not of the MTv set).
My idea for this thread came from recently looking for a video of one of my favorite Dire Straits songs (Skateaway) to post and becoming SOoooo disappointed when I saw the video (now posted at the end of this intro rant). This video cannot ever ruin this song for me, but it disappoints heavily. It makes me wonder if the meaning I pulled from the song was at all what the artist intended. So what, I guess, it does it for me - but...

I always heard this song as about a young woman that had so much disappointment and pain that she just escaped into a dream world of her imagination when she put on her skates - mostly due to the lines "You know she used to have to wait around, She used to be the lonely one... She got her own world in the city, You can't intrude on her, She got her own world in the city, 'cause the city's been so rude to her... " and of course, the chorus. - and what a sweet internal escape it was for her agains such pain.
Now this (highly disappointing) video just looks like 'look at the cute/sexy chick with attitude - watch her skate' - blech!

Ok, that describes my disappointment and below is the video.

WHAT VIDEO SUCKED FOR YOU? PLEASE POST 'EM. (Misery loves company!)

5. I was never a fan of videos of theme songs from movies

You know, where they just edit snippets from the film over the songs making it look like the opening of a TV show, with an occasional cutaway to the singer; it just seemed too cheap and easy, defeated the purpose of what a music video is supposed to be. But then it eventually led to the ANNOYING trend of the "music video within the movie" interlude, which seemed, again, a cheap way to pass off a promo to MTV and Friday Night Videos.
