You know you love them, even if you keep wondering what the hell the director was smoking/drinking/snorting/putting in his coffee. These are actually some of my favorites, as they are usually more amusing than others. The ones I always hated were simulated live performances. Boooooooriiiing.

Just thought of another video but I can't find a link for it. In the odd category, Happiness In Slavery by NIN where a guy sits naked on a machine and has his body mutilated. It ends with his genitals being chopped up by a machine. Sick stuff but you can't really look away. Kind of like their banned video for Gave Up which is basically a mock snuff film. NIN has had some of the oddest videos I've seen.
Odd:
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This by Marilyn Manson.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdf1Q5__uvg
Many may not find it odd, but when I first saw it (I was a young 'un), it creeped me out for some reason.
Funny:

Funny/Odd:
"You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOiVaE-pKqM
I find it incredibly odd. Simon's so short, Chase is so huge compared to him.

Ozzymandias speaks: I've always liked the song "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell, yet I never saw a video for it...until now. They must have tried to hide this. This video is, well, what is the word I'm looking for? Reminds me of the Not the 9 O'Clock News bit about "Nice Video (Shame About the Song)" only in reverse.
