  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.

  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

  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
