For me, it's a tie between The Eels - Saturday Morning and Interpol - Evil.

Saturday Morning opens with a man (the singer) making pancakes in a shed. He goes to set up a pancake stand (think a child's lemonade stand), and a tractor-trailer stops by, and the trucker beckons him in. Fade to moonlight, he's in the truck with the trucker, the trucker jerks a thumb towards the back of the semi, and the man enters to find a party populated with zombies and vampires. He picks up his guitar and plays with them. The end.

Evil is actually fairly normal, save one small detail. The evil freakin' muppet-puppet thing that replaces the singer. It's a little hard to describe, though.

Both of these can be seen on Winamp's video stream channel, and they're not bad songs either.

That Rammstein one with all the miners toiling to dig diamonds for the giant, cruel sleeping beauty was odd and cool.

Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" was pretty weird when it first came out.

NIN - Happiness in Slavery (info, more descriptive - won't post a link because it would probably be a bannable offense)
That Foo Fighters one with Dave Grohl and Jack Black in the motel room was pretty odd too, though.

God, I remember when MTV played music vids. Those were the days...

I think Jump by Van Halen was the first one. I've seen that vid. But I've also seen stuff from the Beatles and Rolling Stones... IN BLACK AND WHITE!!!

Ohhhh... ODDest. Hahaha... Never mind about that B&W stuff.

Presidents of the USA - Peaches. Loved the Ninjas!
