BEST OF EL OCHO: MUSIC VIDEOS

10.
Womanizer - BRITNEY SPEARS

Forget about Piece of me, the MTV proclaimed Video of the Year (Seriously?)

La Spears made her big 08' comeback with this video that features one of the sexiest characters in a video since Robert Palmer's Addicted to love.





And yeah, naked Britney too...




This clip also includes the biggest mystery of 2008. What does that date on the Womanizer's Blackberry means? (April 20th?)

Single ladies (Put a ring on it) - BEYONCE

It was about time that Beyonce releases her inside diva!! Hands down the best choreography in a music video this year.

8. Happiness - GOLDFRAPP

When I first watched this clip, it brought me cool memories of the time when I used to play this on and on and on and on... in my brand new Betamax player.

Years later I found out that this Peter Wolf video (former J. Geils Band singer) was inspired by an scene from Bobby Van's movie Take me to Broadway (1953)

This year's version by British dance duo Goldfrapp gives you an idea on how stupid that overjoy feeling would make you feel.

7. Pork and Beans - WEEZER

Your welcome youtube!!

6. House of cards - RADIOHEAD

No lights, no cameras, ACTION!! That was basically the concept for this video,, 3-D plotting technologies reconstructed the geometry of Thom Yorke's face and the two directors' houses. Cameras and light are sooo June 2008, so they didn't use those things. The resulting laser-light show is exactly how I pictured "House of Cards" in my head. Ha! No.

Anyway, even if the video's a little too Epcot Center's Journey Into Imagination for your tastes, it's a cool concept.

5.

Shut up and let me go - THE TING TINGS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StP-yIQeT2o

This is the one that deserved the MTV Video of the Year, not Britney!!

Made popular by an iPod commercial, the catchy beats of the British duo's tune are complemented by kung-fu moves and angular views.

Worried about finding love? Success? Happiness? Look into the mystical diamond and see the future in this awesome video.

4. Flashing lights - KANYE WEST


Another Spike Jonze's classic!!

I wonder what was the theme for the conception of this clip. Probably F*#% MTV!!

It's so understandable after Kanye's big lost of Video of The Year in 2007.

Well done mate!!

2. Who's gonna save my soul now? - GNARLS BARKLEY



Hey MTV! Here's one more for your list of 2008 Hit and Miss.

This video brilliantly describes how devastated you could feel in a "It's not you it's me" conversation. Somehow this year I was not indifferent to this feeling.

BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Have you ever asked yourself how the Hammer got his moves? or from who?

19 years later, finally the answer of this question is revealed in this video.

The song is the 08' remix of the massive hit by UTAH SAINTS from 1992. If that female voice sounds familiar to you is because is a sample of Kate Bush's song, Cloudbusting (1985).

Here's to you THE BEST VIDEO OF EL OCHO, is WICKED!!!
