Jurassic Park - Fingertips Suite (They Might Be Giants TMBG)
They Might Be Giants have this series of very short song snippets on their album Apollo 18. This person has gone through and paired up each short snippet with a clip from Jurassic Park. I don't know why they chose to do this specific thing, but some of their pairing choices are quite clever!

打首獄門同好会「Shake it up ’n’ go 〜シャキッと！コーンのうた〜」
A Japanese commercial for a brand of crispy canned corn, with rock music. Surprisingly catchy. Everybody come to the kitchen and shake it up 'n' go!!
The band responsible for this, Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai, has other good videos of similar caliber on their channel as well; this one about not wanting to get out of bed when it's cold is also very good.

fredhammer / limp wicket
An incredible video for Neil Cicierega's Limp Bizkit/Peter Gabriel/Star Wars mashup from his album Mouth Dreams. The level of care and detail put into this video is excellent, with lots of great subtle touches. The creator has a couple other 'mouth' videos on their channel as well which are also worth checking out.

(Epilepsy warning around 2:09!)
An incredibly high-effort, 2d-frame-by-frame-animated video for the song I Left My Body by They Might Be Giants, created by "Flim Flam Films". It has a long intro mashing up several other songs. The build-up into the "drop" when the main song actually starts causes me to experience momentary transcendence.

I Was On The Moon
A really interesting animation of the song "I Was On The Moon" by Owen Plant, showing the notes of each part as they move through harmonic space, illustrated on a lattice diagram.
【アニメ】雨宮さんとドクロのうた
A song about getting so startled that your skull pops out. Be forewarned, it is... an incredible earworm despite being barely a minute long. It was such an earworm I had to learn to play it on guitar. The song and video were made by Arawi Keiichi (featured previously.)
Is The Video for “Bittersweet Symphony” Mocking Itself?
A blog post from 2012 that discusses the irony that comes across in the music videos for a couple Britpop songs from the ’90s.
But what I really like about Song 2 and Bittersweet Symphony is that the irony is genuinely funny. That's something I think a lot of people miss about irony, and it's part of why I'm getting more and more weary of people tossing the term Hipster around like it's some sort of critical argument in and of itself. I mean, I like the video for Smells Like Teen Spirit, but that thing is just begging to be lampooned, and Blur manages to pull it off simply through the ironic juxtaposition of Nirvana-like overblown, set-wrecking nihilism sung by guys that look kinda like the people I play Magic: The Gathering with.
【ダヲコ】オノマトペラップ~なつあそび編~【あらゐけいいち】
Really cool Japanese music video animated in doodle-style by Arawi Keiichi, who is more well-known as the author of the Nichijou manga. Plus, the song teaches you about Japanese onomatopoeia!
