Steady Massive. Looks like she's spoken for.

This is from the Democratic Republic of Congo. It may be a bit mean and patronising to start posting videos from developing countries, but I love the "let's do the video right here" nature of this one.
It's as though they'd just finished recording the song, the caretaker arrived to lock up, and they just got him to dance around a bit.
I love the tune, too - especially the guitar that joins in at 2m23s:

...The Wedding Present released a single a month for a year. They asked fans to make videos for the singles resulting in low budget monstrosities like this. Once seen, cannot be unseen.

'St*r & Superst*r' of blessed memory

...made by Wolfgang Tillmans.
Hmmm, not sure.

and although it may not be cheap, this is what happens when a pop star lets her brother direct the video. EMI was not impressed.

but at least it's a great track

Warning, this will assault your ears as much as your eyes. I sincerely apologise to anyone foolish enough to watch this video.

(It's not on Youtube any more. Can't think why...)

...which regretfully (fortunately?) don't seem to be on the internet:-

Tracy Shaw - Happening All Over Again: 'Coronation Street' starlet covers Lonnie Gordon song and promotes it with a video filmed at Liverpool's Albert Dock, seemingly during a local television crew's lunch-hour.

Michael Balls - If You Don't Know Me By Now(?): Grannies' favourite promotes yet another collection of covers with a video memorably described by Claudia Winkleman as looking as though it was filmed in a branch of Habitat after closing.

I bet he got change from a fiver......

The Pogues' video for "Streams of Whiskey" is as far from Duran Duran's "Rio" as it's possible to get. A yacht in the Caribbean? No, let's go to the car park and jump out of the bins:

Of course, as Nick Cave also found during this period, a cheapskate video meant there was more money left over for refreshments...
"And now that I've a pile
I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet
But I'll leave there on my back."

Robert Knight was in his mid/late 20s when he made Love On A Mountain Top. He clearly isn't so fresh-faced in this video. It's an Ian Levine remake. He's an old northern Soul DJ turned record producer who made (and i think still makes) a series of albums of old soul singers doing old soul songs. Although they bug a fair amount of Northern fans because of the rather antiseptic "modern" sound (or because they've mistakenly bought these remakes instead of the originals) I'd say they're made with good intentions: to keep some great music alive and earn a few bob for the singers and composers who could probably use it.
The videos are as low-budget as the recordings, usually just a straightforward run-through in the recording studio, as in this PP Arnold exhibit. I suppose because the Robert Knight song had an outdoor "rumpy-pumpy" theme he got to visit the local park.

Poor Robert never had much of a career in the UK. The Love Affair did his two best songs, Everlasting Love and Rainbow Valley and made them their own. Steve Ellis, the Love Affair's Singer, met him once and expected a rather frosty Dionne Warwick/Cilla scenario (DW bitterly resented Cilla having UK hits with her songs), but apparently RK was fine about it and a throughly nice chap.

...and slow motion.

I cannot embed things here at work, but I remember Sinitta covering this song with the world's worst animated cat. It was truly terrible.

I saw this on B3ta...

Does a nice line in self produced video

In this one he uses a camera attached to his hat.

His current album is excellent and worthy of investigation

... get some teenagers to mime poorly, play in front of stock footage, bobs your uncle. I especially like the bit where Jim "Big, Sick Ugly" Martin mimes running away from the footage of the tortoise while everyone else cowers on the ground...

Just remembered this.
Squeeze sit in a band member's kitchen to discuss the video for their forthcoming single.
Hey! We can do the show right here! Put the kettle on, luv:

Arrrrrggh, can't embed here, but if someone can stick the vid that the young Gazza Barlow - as Kurtis Rush - did, you can revel in its cheapness. It only survives in clip form, but you could honestly make a better music video using a banana and a twig.
