For me it will always be A-Ha's "Take On Me", though basically any of OK Go's videos also deserve consideration for sheer creativity.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Take on Me is the correct answer.
The first one I thought of, but not the one I decided on.
~~Phil Collins~~ Peter Gabriel, Sledgehammer
Whoops
That was Peter Gabriel, mate.
Goddammit
Oh man, that's a hell of a contender.
Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity
Personally, most of the stand-outs that come to mind are all OK Go music videos, since they still incorporate the music, but also feature videos that are creative and engaging in their own right. Of theirs' I'd say I Won't Let You Down is the best, but I personally prefer Obsession.
Saw this the first night I ever tripped acid. I don't think I ever laughed that hard before or after. Every day I want to embody that guy's energy
Smack My Bitch Up - Prodigy (the full, uncensored version)
The Wall, obviously.
Alright, that's probably cheating, so let's go with Colorblind by Elliot The Bull
Or literally anything by OK GO.
Edit: Scratch all of the above, it's Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim.
It's still the video to "all is full of love" by Björk for me. I found the style and pacing so intriguing that I heavily copied it for a computer animation I did at University.
Rammstein - Sonne. I think it's amusing.
Waaaaaaaay too broad of a question, worth at least narrowing it down by genre
Marcia Baïla
Song by Les Rita Mitsouko ‧ 1984
