Top 5 Music Videos Of All Time

5. Aha - Take On Me

Take on me was a classic 80's pop hit, the song was released in 1985 but is still seen as one of the greatest songs and music video ever. The video is very creative by the way in which it incorporates the cartoon characters within the comic book and brings them to life as they interact with the humans. This song relates very well to its lyrics, the whole 'Take On Me' is played upon very well when the cartoon character holds out his arm and pulls the woman in to become part of the comic book story.

4. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

'Bad Romance' by Lady Gaga is one of the most famous songs from the twenty first century. Although the song is very famous for the quality of the song it is also very famous for the crazy music video that she produced. This song is very good example of a conceptual type of music video. Although the music video plays upon the lyrics 'Bad Romance' by having the men within the video, the craziness and imaginative kind of things that are happening throughout the video are very strange but it catches the audiences eye, this is what makes 'Bad Romance' such a good video.
