10) "No One Else," Weezer
Depending on how you hear it, "No One Else" is a girlfriend-bashing or a girlfriend-suppressing song, but a classic in the Weezer catalogue nonetheless. In this interpretation, the camera follows the girlfriend's evolution from a housewife of sorts to a single ready to mingle. She can thank that giant spider and "The Smelling Salts" band.
9) "Eleanor Rigby," The Beatles
Here's hoping this is the definitive "Eleanor Rigby" video. Obi-Wan plays Father McKenzie and Eleanor falls to the sword of Darth Vader. We see more Star Wars characters as the camera pans across "all the lonely people," including Chewbacca.
8) "Knights of Cydonia," Muse
If you've seen the actual "Knights of Cydonia" video, you know it's essentially a Western/scifi cheeseball, like other Muse vids. So Muse - yeah, we're callin' you out - you guys should thank Ola Tandstad and Christian Loken for putting a Lego spin on this cinematic train wreck. We like the heroic cowboy's makeout session, Flaming Lego Fists, Drunken Sidewenger of Death and Silent Ninja Style. What sucks is that it's much shorter than the real video. Damn school projects.
7) "Feuer Frei," Rammstein
Bang, bang! Say it again. With this video, Nuclear Retardation Studios - three metal dudes, really - capture Rammstein's industrial-metal frenzy, one of pyrotechnics, flying V guitars and lots of goth clothing. Makes a concert vid seem like a ton of work, but these guys got it right.
6) "Sugar," System of a Down
YouTuber Jake Kohler has a handful of System of a Lego vids, and among those, "Sugar" is most excellent. It is simple, but Lego "Serj Tankian" and his bandmates tear up a room full of sugar. The best moment is perhaps when the guitarists and Serj thrash out during the racing "Fuck You" outro.
