Music Videos that make you go "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?"

Because this section hasn't had a thread on this subject yet.....so here we go. Whether they don't make sense, are badly dated, or are just plain nightmare-ish, here's the place to post those types of music videos you've come across.

Okay!

Now, I love Roland Orzabal(Tears For Fears and his solo songs), I really do. But the music video for his song "Low Life" had me going "Huh? What?" [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.], and left me wondering if he came up with this idea while crankin' up a Marley.

Enjoy! or not

Oscar Mike Golf, pretty much all music videos are Whiskey Tango Foxtrot-worthy. None of them ever make any real sense. Do not copy. Over.

Spoiler:

When I was ten this video managed to freak me out a little, weirdly most of the much freakier shit didn't. Dunno if this is on topic, but meh.

Ooooooh! Ooooooh! I love this thread!

Billy Squier's "Rock Me Tonite"! The video that killed his career! Woohoo!

WUT.

I think this is my favorite bad music video of all time: Scott "I'm singing about Jesus but I'll still give you the pipe" Stapp shoves his meaty, vaguely-inebriated face into the camera, wanders aimlessly through a poorly-rendered Myst level filled with portentous-but-safely-nonreligious rock formations, and meets the Virgin Mary or someone. It's an absolutely splendariously milleloquent goulash of pretension.



My favorite bit is at 2:13 or so, when following the DRAMATIC SANDSTORM SEQUENCE, the director apparently tries to elicit "awe" out of Scott by dangling a suckling pig just out of his reach.

Translation please?

And that video looks like an outtake from a low-budget off-off-off-Broadway musical.

I don't quite remember.

It was something like, "Holy shit, you fucking idiots, this thread isn't half a page old and it's already a cluster fuck."

That was too off to be worthy of a sierra hotel rating, Mikey. Not even a bravo zulu.

What in the Bravoest of Bravo hells are you Tangoing about?

Your post didn't make any sense. This is what you wrote:

HS, YFI, TTI HAPOAIACF.

That makes no goddamn sense. None of what you wrote is an actual acronym, so nobody could divine what you meant even if they know the phonetic alphabet.

Sierra Hotel = Shit Hot
Bravo Zulu = Well Done. Yeah, that's right. It doesn't even start with the letters specified. Blame the Navy. It has something to do with their effete signal flag bullshit.

It's in a transposition code! Mikey = cryptographic mastermind?

How could I forget this one? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Now, as you all know, I'm a duranie(very hardcore mind you), but this? It had me wondering what the hell was Simon on?! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It was even voted Cheesiest Video of the Year for 1997.

Now, I love this song, and I adore this video because of its WTFery. But man, it has got to be one of the strangest things I've ever seen.

Oh.

Fucking Nazy.

Wait wait wait. Wasn't the White House (or Capitol Building, I forget which) in CoDMW2 referred to as Sierra Hotel? While we're on the subject of that game, WTF DOES OSCAR MIKE MEAN?

Oscar Mike = On the Move. It's incredibly overused in that game. (I really don't think anyone in their right mind would say "foot-mobile in the open! He's oscar mike!"

The White House was called Whiskey Hotel, which makes sense since it's just WH.

No topic about weird music videos is complete without this one.

wtf ninjas?

Does anyone else remember a music video from a few years ago that featured furries dancing on a hill? That thing still confuses me to this day and I can't remember what the song was.

Sort of necroposted to answer: if it's not Sour Girl by Stone Temple Pilots then there's more than one out there, which might be more disturbing. Most of STP's videos are a bit ... off, as are Nirvana's.

Because nothing screams "love song" like being beaten to death by Mickey Rourke:
