Now this is what I'm talking about!
Not only is this an absolute CLASSIC song, it has a hilarious video to boot! I mean, its so awesome I can't decide wether I find the video better than the song itself! Yes, it's THAT good!
The brains behind it is music video genius Spike Jonze. The Jewish-American director was also responsible for other memorable greats such as the videos to Fatboy Slims "Weapon of choice" and "Praise you", Weezers "Buddy Holly" and "Undone" and "100%" by Sonic youth. So its no surprise this video ranks among the top clips to ever be shot. Even Sofia Coppola must've been impressed, she married the guy for crying out loud!
Focusing on the video - it is a near perfect replica (actually a near perfect parody) of a lot of old school cop shows. Think "Starsky and Hutch" and "The Streets of San Francisco", tough cops, shortsleeved shirts with whacky ties, lots of car and on foot chases, pistol whipping, questionable interrogation tactics and, of course, aviator sunglasses!
And as no amount of hype will come even close to representing the overall awesomeness which "Sabotage" encompases, lets just move on to the video!
If I have to be frank, I personally rank this song and video as Number 1 in the countdown and am only posting it as number 7 as this is the order in which the actual MTV countdown was listed. So "boo" MTV!
