"Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen
The video (and song) that's caught everybody by storm. She's got that girl-next-door-that's-actually-slightly-darker-than-the-girl-next-door look we all love.

"The Hardest Button To Button" by The White Stripes
Jack and Meg left an indelible image with this duplicitous video, so much so that it was even parodied on The Simpsons when the two guest starred.
7:
"Forget You" by Cee-Lo
A funny and vibrant journey through Cee-Lo's formative years of being dissed by women. It's almost all worth happening, for him to have eventually made such a great song.
6:
"Yonkers" by Tyler, the Creator
Sometimes simpler is better. This is somehow engaging music video features just the Odd Future member and a many-legged little critter.
5:
"How To Love" by Lil' Wayne
The softer, more conscientious side of the Waynester is shown off in the song itself, but the video tells a touching story in tandem.
4:
"Hey Ya" by Outkast
So much of Outkast should be on any top ten list, from the songs themselves to the visuals accompanying them. 'Hey Ya,' though primarily Andre 3000's baby, is perhaps one of the best pure pop songs of our time. And the video is a campy homage to a band comprised entirely of 'Dre.
3:
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson
The video, and the artist, that first pushed the form to its limits, it's no surprise this was directed by John Landis. It's really more of a short horror film. And what a film it is.
2:
"Alejandro" by Lady Gaga
Something tells us she has hidden meanings behind some of the ideas in this video. Just a crazy hunch.

"Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"
A simple video, concept-wise. Just Beyonce and a couple of dancer friends, well, dancing. Nonetheless it's mesmerizing, and had people of all ages imitating the dance moves.
