Perhaps not an 'official' music video, but as a retired scene enthusiast I have to add an old Fairlight demo to the list:

I don't really watch music videos, but for those of you who don't know what tilt-shift photography is:

The effect is simulated, as it was actually shot with a compact P&S camera, but still interesting and fun regardless.

A few more early 1980's videos of note, "Rock the Casbah" - The Clash; "Stray Cat Strut" - The Stray Cats; "When Two Tribes Go To War" - Frankie Goes to Hollywood; "Do you really want to hurt me?" - Culture Club; "She blinded me with science" - Thomas Dolby; "Steppin Out" - Joe Jackson; "Ashes to Ashes" - David Bowie.

How could I forget this: "Hot For Teacher" - Van Halen

I'm not so much into actual videos that go with a released single, if that is what you mean, but I regularly watch various videos of music online, live performances or special recordings that kind of thing.

I don't really have a favourite - I am unable to choose a favourite anything these days :-\ but I love pretty much everything on blogotheque.

EDIT : I guess I should really narrow it down a bit, one of my favourites would be Andrew Bird, Spare Ohs - I love the walking through montmartre, and of course the song :)
">Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
">Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice


I mean come-on, Christopher Walken dancing (and flying).

Very interesting choice choices, Thomas Dolby and Joe Jackson, you know your video clips!
">'Welcome to the Pleasuredome'
also comes to mind for straight out crazy, and Paul Simon - Call Me Al always appeals to me as well.
">Enya - Age of Electric

(Todd Kerns, the lead singer, is a good ol' Saskatchewan boy. He was recently on tour with Slash in order to help promote Slash's new self-titled album. Holy dream come true for Kerns batman!!)

">Friskies - Trippiest Commercial EVAR


P.S. LessBread... one of my all-time favourite albums is Faith No More Angel Dust. Of course Blind Melon is in my CD deck at all times too. :)
