2. Weezer - Pork And Beans

   Every single YouTube meme since the beginning of time gets a look in during this utterly fantastic clip - which is something of a time capsule nowadays. Fine song, too.

   Dave Grohl cameos as the Devil while the comedic duo of Jack Black and Kyle Gass recount their encounter with the Prince Of Darkness.

4. Supergrass - Pumping On Your Stereo

   The ancient art of Black Theatre puppetry lends a hand in making the Britpop trio the ultimate cartoon characters.

5. OK Go - Here It Goes Again

   The original and best - sheer poetry on synchronised treadmills. Could did they top that? Well...

6. Blur - Parklife

   Actor Phil Daniels takes the lead, Damon is the stooge, Alex James drags up, what's not to love?

7. The Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch

   A filth-filled tale of the realities of modern-day relationships. And they say romance is dead...

   Blink introduce us to their love of nudity and puerile humour

9. Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly

   How could we forget this one? Foo Fighters take on multiple roles - with a cameo from the aforementioned Tenacious D - for this plane-based LOLfest. It's actually a bit worrying how good Taylor Hawkins looks in drag.

10. Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage!

    It's utterly bizarre, but the glowing cod-pieces
