What's Your Favorite Music Video?

Music videos have been around for some time now, however, really started making a visual statement (as art) in their own right (apart from the song); probably in the late 1980's. This was when "basic" special effects (generated by computers) came along.

Back then, (if you lived in Australia) you had to watch a show called "Countdown" (top of the pops format -on TV) to see your favorite musicians perform. In Australia, The ABC television station has a music video all night (weekends) TV show called "Rage" . In America it is MTV (or it was in the late eighties). Nowadays; of course, we have most music videos on youtube.

Anyway, you get the idea.

Blog open for each person to post their favorite music video/s.

(please post a maximum of 1 per comment). Comments are sought for each music video - Why do you like it? What makes it special?

To kick things off, I'll post a few of my favs. (there's really too many, to choose from)...

The Last Waltz - the whole movie 1978 - Scorsese
Here's just one track

I see Robbie Robertson is still composing and working with Scorsese in a 2019 and an upcoming movie.
Oh and one more - Chinese pop song from a BJ TV Series; simple song! The name (dida dida) of course means 'tick-tock'

The performer's name is Kan Kan - a name which just means assured, open, fervent
