Favorite Music Video?

Elissa Stelzner is a vlogger whose YouTube channel has only 1,560 subscribers. She should have a million subscribers. Maybe she will some day – if enough people discover her amazing video synchronizing old movie choreography with a Michael Jackson song.

 
Is that Vera Ellen? She always looked painfully anorexic. It’s amazing that she could dance at all without passing out or breaking.
 
Last year I posted a video of Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth dancing – through the magic of modern technology – to Led Zeppelin's Rock & Roll. Here they are again, dancing to Jackie Wilson's 1967 hit Higher & Higher:

 
I have seen many videos of students, flash mobs, prison inmates and other groups dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller. My favorite is these 11 kids from Baldwin Hills Elementary School south of Los Angeles:

 
Here is another really cute video. This is from The Late Late Toy Show, a 2013 Christmas-themed episode of Irish broadcaster RTÉ's The Late Late Show. The song they sing, When I'm Gone, was written by A.P. Carter and was first recorded in 1931 by the Carter Family.

 
Not a 'favorite music video', but this thread has kinda morphed into 'videos I like'...

I didn't get into this song, but I enjoyed the old ads and shows they put in the music video.

 
I only got through the first half and will have to listen to the rest later.
I dig KMFDM and didn't know they had a new album out.
This track is WAY different than what I'm used to hearing from them.

Judgement on the song after I hear it all.
 
Weird Al Yankovics's Bob, sung in a Bob Dylan voice, is one of my favorite videos – but mostly for the lyrics. Every line is a palindrome, a phrase reading the same forward and backward (disregarding punctuation). Mom! Dad! Look, kool! Bob. Elite title. If I had a hi-fi. I'm a tune nut, am I? Now I won. (See, Al? I can do it too.)
