I love music videos - watching them, writing about them and making my own on extremely limited budgets. Great videos are part of the reason I like pop music.
I know this blog has a rubbish name but to be honest you're all lucky I didn't call this something like 'Video Filled The Internet Fnar'.
Disclaimer:
Unfortunately some record companies don't like other people embedding their videos in order to give them more publicity, so I apologise on their behalf if any of the videos I post are no longer available.
Feel free to go to Youtube.com and complain about this daft precedent (or just search for the video there instead).

I’m ultimately a child of the 90s and *this* is the MJ I remember: ridiculous high budget videos filled with big game animals and citizens of many countries.
Much as I love the video to Thriller there’s nothing quite like seeing Michael run through a burning cross only to meet Macaulay Culkin rapping “I’m not gonna spend my life being a colour” on the set of Sesame Street.
This video was such a huge event when I was a kid (as was anything containing Macaulay Culkin) - I was so impressed by the morphing heads at the end that the ‘controversial’ coda where Michael turns into a panther and smashes up a car (see it on the full version here from 6.22, which also has more MC at the beginning) paled into the background - especially since they couldn’t show that bit on Newsround.
