Did everyone forget The Safety Dance had a video? Because… what? And Numb was to far up. At least it shows he’s trying to be numb/oblivious, so there’s sense to it.
"You're Beautiful" is not a love song, it's a story of a guy seeing his ex-girlfriend with her new boyfriend while on the London Underground and realising he blew it and will never be with her again. The video is him describing this while preparing for suicide. I guess subtext, metaphors, and the literal lyrics of the song all went over your head, WM.
Not gonna shame Britney for gimme more. Feel like she's been thru enough tbh. It was a comeback after her mental breakdown so it's understandable that she didn't seem "all there" knowing what we know now.
No matter what you've been through you shouldn't put out less then perfect music videos that can be rehearsed and redone to be great. I blame her management for not really caring just wanting that money but we can't deny it wasn't up to par with her other videos.
Chris Brown singing “I’ll hold you down” is already one of the most appalling things in music history. We don’t even need a video to say what the f*ck were these people thinking.

Avril Lavigne's video (directed and concept created by a Japanse director) was considered offensive by bored Americans who had nothing better to do than to tell Japanese people they should be offended when they loved it
I remember that. I saw the video and disliked it and the song because it was, IMHO, very cringe and lackluster. Then I was flabbergasted to hear that a bunch of people said it was racist. I rewatched it and never saw any racism in it. Years later, I'm sure I still won't be able to see the so called racism in it.
@@dylancastellanos87 they say it was "racist" because Avril Lavigne was eating suishi, singing abuot hello kitty and stuff and she's a white woman. then they said she was using the backup dancers as props. i agree the video was cringe af but yeah it wasn't racist
@@immadrachett3290 That is absolutely ridiculous. I just rewatched the video again. There isn't a single racist thing about it. It's just incredibly cringe. That's literally all.
Somehow the reception for "Hooked on a Feeling" didn't dissuade the Hoff from doing music videos like "True Survivor" or that disco tune for Guardians of the Galaxy.
Just listening to Hasselhoff's "disco" song during the end of Guardians Vol. 2 was weird, but likely not as strange as listening to William Shatner "sing" (I use that term loosely) the end credit song from "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins"
oh god, B4-4. I remember them in interviews when that song was released, insisting it had nothing to do with oral sex, and trying so hard to defend it.
Isn’t the music video for you’re beautiful almost like he’s about to commit suicide? Taking his stuff off lining it in a straight line.. it was kinda scary
Is nobody gonna bring up that Watchmojo released a "10 most evil Irish" video for St.Patricks day and it has been taken down without a word. Interesting.
Sorry Mojo, but your opinion on the Avril Lavigne “Hello Kitty” video is purely Western in its scope. The video and song were pretty well received in Japan, which was exactly who it was made for.
I would have put Katy Perry's Bon Appetit on here. It was an already on the nose song taken to the most literal extreme and it wasn't cheeky or fun, it was just gross.
The "Do what you like" video by Take That is basically a video about orgies. Within seconds of seeing that video that's the first thing that came to mind
As an early 80s Billy Squire I can unequivocally say that the Rock Me Tonight video torpedoed Billy's career. I can clearly remember my friends and I sitting in a room watching MTV waiting for the premiere because video premieres were a big thing back then and we all looked at each other and said "WTF is this?" And started cracking up. 😂😂😂 We never took Billy Squire's music seriously again. 🤷🏼♀️
C'mon you totally missed an opportunity to bring up the WTF?! video for Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" which has to be seen to be believed. My theory is that the director thought he was being brought on to do a remake of Children of the Damned and since he was a really scary guy, everyone was too scared to tell him otherwise and just went along with it.
I think the remake of "Take on Me" was a complete remake including the video. They really didn't change anything in the song, but the video was just an updated version of the original. The original had drawings and the real world interacting whereas the remake had computer graphics and the real world interacting. So I think they just remade it to be more modern, but sometimes you just should not mess with a classic. Kind of think of it like the remake of "Footloose." It just should not have been done.
As much as I love the Panic! At the Disco song “Hey Look Ma, I Made It”… the music video was not what I imagined and made me cringe. But thankfully not as much as “BB Talk”, which made me lose my lust for Miley. What was she thinking indeed.
I like to forget the video for True Faith. I prefer thinking about it having scenes from Less Than Zero ( rather than Bright Lights, Big City) just because RDJ is phenomenal in that film.
I'm so glad other people actually understand the song and music video to you're beautiful cause I thought I was going to have to come to the comments to explain it. You messed up there Watchmojo, get that one off your list
That BB talk video by Miley is quite disturbing. My favourite wtf video is Safety Dace by Men Without Hats. It's so insane it should be shown in schools to discourage kids from taking drugs. 😆😆
I don’t think you understand the song You’re Beautiful, it’s about a guy who sees his ex girlfriend at a train station with her new boyfriend, but he still loves her and can’t live without her so he chooses to end his life.
Ironic, considering Joss Stone is known in the industry for effing for tracks. Kind of surprised the Robbie Williams video where he strips off his skin isn't on here
From what I understand, Avril spent lot of time in Japan and that video was a tribute to her Japanese fans, worked on by Japanese staff, all of who loved it
I'm sure MadTV had a field day with parodying N*SYNC's video for "This I Promise You." Especially, with the writing. I still giggle when the parody is mentioned. Sorry, I love music video parodies. 😂
James Blunts “You’re Beautiful” music video isn’t going to make any sense unless youre going to consider the actual song and its lyrics, I fucking guess.
Take That is my favorite band, and I was introduced to them through a friend. That friend specifically tried to prevent me from seeing Do What You Like, in fear it would prevent me from listening to them lol.
OK, I'm on entry ONE & already you're saying things that are wrong. "You're beautiful is a tender, if corny love song"; um NO. It is a song about stalking a random stranger on the subway whilst high on drugs. It is most certainly NOT a nice, tender love song.
You're beautiful is about a stalker. She was a stranger on the train with her bf. In the video he's committing suicide. He's been in a mental hospital. That's why he lines all of his possessions up perfectly straight before he jumps in freezing cold water. Even if you can swim you'll drawn because your body can't function in water that cold. He did it because he finally realizes he'll never be with the girl he's been stalking..... Listen to the lyrics.
I understand why... but a honorable mention should have been GWAR's F****ng an Anim*l I mean... legitmately will have you scratching your head for the entire song
I really do wonder wtf what was Miley Cyrus thinking when she did the bb talk music video like seriously 😒 i love her but seriously the bb talk song should’ve been banned
To be fair Journey HATED the idea for Separate Ways but they were told repeatedly “Wait! It’ll be great when it comes together!” ( paraphrased). And it wasn’t great. Or even any close to good. Great song though.

you're beautiful isn't a love song, it's a song about the perspective of a lonely dude completely wacked on drugs in a tube station looking at a woman
And he is depicting his preparation for suicide.

True Survivor genuinely feels like a fever dream. The first time I saw it, I didn't know what was happening.
Except Blue Swede first released "Hooked on a Feeling" in 1974, 2 decades before The Hoff covered it

Lol indeed
One of the last stages of hypothermia is stripping off all your clothes. Wonder if that’s what James Blunt was going for.
She was so beautiful, he got hypothermia
Nah he's getting ready to jump to his death the song is him realizing what he lost when he sees his ex with another man
I get why people might not like U2's "Numb", but I think it's pretty clever and fun.
Numb is actually Genius and the video is awesome in my opinion. Maybe because i'm a die-hard fan. How about Discotheque?
@@joeb.evrythngEclectic5571 I think the music video was literally about just Edge's pet peeves, basically just things Edge hated.
I always liked Numb. Dude has an admirable level of tolerance.
If you've ever seen Journey's Separate Ways, you probably knew it would be on this list.
oh yes
Yup. It was kind of like Billy Joel's "The Longest Time", stellar song, headbashingly stupid music video.
Don’t really think the video is that bad.
