In this post we present some unusual music videos for your viewing pleasure.. Some of the videos are thought-provoking, some of them are funny and some are bizarre.

Music Videos:

Unkle - Rabbit in your Headlights

What is this guy whispering? Who is the guy? And what is he doing in the tunnel? You need to watch this video till the very end. You won’t be disappointed.

Jason Forrest - “War Photographer”(2005)

These freaking vikings are both cool and strange. But it doesn’t make them less sympathetic. And they can play both on drums and guitars pretty well.

Bat for Lashes — What’s A Girl To Do

00:38 is the best moment in the history of music videos. Well, this one is kind of scary. Hares driving on the bicycles and clapping their hands at the same time? A masterpiece from the year 2007.

Nick Cave & Kylie Mingoue — Where The Wild Roses Grow

Probably one of the most beautiful music videos ever made. There is no need for words. Watch it.

Rob Dougan — Clubbed To Death

Incredible editing and directing. So symbolic, so powerful.

Fujiya & Miyagi - Ankle Injuries

What about a music video which is made with thousands of 6-sided dice? Exactly. And the music fits perfectly.

Radiohead – “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” (1995)

The video for this song was shot using different film frequencies, allowing various actions to unfold at different rates within the same frame. The emotional effects of this practice range from silly to unsettling. Try not to watch this video too many times; it begins to feel a little more disturbing each time. [Jeff Shreve]

Sia – “Breathe Me”

The production of this video clip took several thousands Polaroid photos. The result is… at least unusual.

Citizens Here and Abroad - You Drive and We’ll Listen To Music

Jason Koxvold’s video pairs crashing cars with crashing guitars. Rock. Very well executed and perfectly edited. Must see.

Moby - Porcelaine

Such a beautiful song. One of the videos you are amazed about once, and you never forget again.

The Strokes - You Only Live Once

With a Hundred ways to do a dozen things, why not try it all? Directed by Warren Fu.

Arctic Monkeys - A view from the afternoon

A song about a passion and unstoppable willingness to do what you love. Simple, yet so effective.

“Glosoli” - Sigur Ros

“Glosoli” depicts a young drummer boy gathering up the other denizens of what appears to be an adult-free utopian land, and leading a revolution to freedom. So beautiful and so touching. Don’t miss the last scene.

The Avalanches - “Frontier Psychiatrist”

This is freaky. Sometimes the most obvious concept for a video also turns out to be the best. The ghost choir is the best. Except for the nightmarish old-man turtle, of course. [via PitchForkMedia]

Royksopp - Remind Me

You can watch it dozens times and still not catch everything. A day in the life of an average working Jill, broken down into its minutest component parts. The unstated joke: mankind has erected immense, resource-devouring systems of almost incomprehensible complexity just so you can sit in your cubicle.

Blur - “Coffee & TV”

Actually, this song is about a dancing milk carton. However, its adventures are funny, cute, but with a pleasing streak of cruelty. The milk-carton protagonist even has its own fan site.

Boards of Canada: “Dayvan Cowboy”

It’s pretty easy to get wrapped up in the grainy, existential pulchritude of this thing and completely miss the cheeky self-reference. So, um, where can one surf in Canada? Directed by Melissa Olson.

Move Your Feet - Junior Senior

That’s weird. And that’s what makes it special. A pixel-based video clip.

Daft Punk - One More Time

Probably one of the most colorful animated music videos of all time. Daft Punk, one more time.

Xploding Plastix - Joy Comes In The Morning

A music video about the world we live in and the world we’d like to live in.

Unkle - Eye For Eye

A haunting track with a creepy animation, which won an award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Nasty weirdness drops from the sky and then moves on.

Vitalic - Poney

Flying dogs in light of a laser and in slow-motion. Nobody has ever done something like this before.

OK Go - Here It Comes Again

Justice “D.A.N.C.E.”

Sometimes even T-Shirts can speak. For instance, in this music video. “D.A.N.C.E.” was nominated for “Video of the Year at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. On the first of November Justice received the “Video Star” award at the European Music Awards in Munich.

Forss - “City Ports”

The visualization fits perfectly to the music.

Radiohead - Just

What could the man on the street possibly have said?

Prodigy - Out Of Space

Prodigy’s “Out of Space” is probably one of the weirdest videos ever created. Welcome back to the 90s — this is how some videos looked like then. The song which was * for the whole generation.

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

A video everybody has seen. And everybody would see again.

RJD2 - Work It Out

This guy just wants to have some fun with his crooks and his skateboard. A one-shot-video from 2007.

Beginning this week, the German company will begin to debut four original films on popular online sites Facebook and YouTube. The first focuses on the company’s founder, Adi Dassler, and chronicles how his shoe evolved from a sports shoe to popular everyday footwear. Adidas is the third most popular athletic brand in the U.S., according to market research firm The NPD Group Inc.’s Consumer Tracking Service, behind Nike and New Balance.

Adidas will also host a community page on Facebook with a variety of information and applications.

The campaign is part of its overall “Celebrate Originality,” global brand message for its sports lifestyle products.

While the marketing spending is undisclosed, Hermann Deininger said it is “the biggest” campaign the company has done in its 49-year history.

“There are two key pillars to the campaign,” said Hermann Deininger, chief marketing officer of the adidas sport style division. “One is retail and the second is digital.”

Adidas will reformat some of its 80 worldwide stores into an “atelier” concept, allowing visitors to design their own shoes and send pictures and videos to a large wall within the store.

The first Atelier store format opened in Berlin and the reformatted New York store opens Monday. Beijing, which will host the Summer Olympics in August, is next in May.

“The new store design brings to life the ‘Celebrate Originality’ theme,” Deininger said.

Adidas will also make a foray into the non-sports arena of denim, pairing with Italian jeansmaker Diesel to create four styles of jeans called “adidas Originals Denim by Diesel.” The line, which includes two mens and two womens jeans in four different washes, was shown at Fashion Week in New York on Sunday. The jeans will be available exclusively at adidas stores and retail for $160 to $210.

While adidas has paired with a variety of designers, such as Stella McCartney, this is its first foray into completely non-sports product segment.

But Deininger said the two brands “share the same value and share they same approach to the consumer,” he said. “There are a lot of commonalities between two brands.”

Diesel’s Stefano Rosso agreed.

“If you look back in the past 10 years, they’ve represented the sports world like we’ve represented the denim world,” he said. “The company represents innovation and something new for customers that’s exciting.”

John Shanley, an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group, said the campaign fits in with a trend of merging fashion and athletics trends.

“I think it makes a lot of sense,” he said. “Casualwear is where most of the business is done (in the athletic sector). Technical or performance products are a relatively small part of the overall market.”

An agency of the Publicis Groupe created a spot for Tide to Go, and another division created a Web site to dovetail with it.

That is because the Internet, digital video recorders, mobile devices and other technologies are giving a strong postgame presence to the commercials that appear each year during the Super Bowl. The spots can be watched later on Web sites, forwarded to friends through e-mail, discussed on message boards and assessed on blogs.It is a far cry from just a few years ago, when the Super Bowl commercials disappeared after the game, along with the losing team. Now the strategy among sponsors is to maximize post game exposure to help amortize the eye-popping cost of a Super Sunday spot — this time, an estimated $2.7 million for each 30 seconds of national air time.

For instance, the commercials “got a higher audience than the game” in homes with the TiVo video recorder service, said Todd Juenger, vice president and general manager for audience research and measurement at the New York office of TiVo.

“There is rewinding and multiple viewing of the ads” on Super Bowl Sunday, he added. “It’s one of the few times it happens.”

Dutch artist Henk Hoftstra’s latest outdoor art project takes Google Earth head-on with 4000 liters of blue paint poured onto the streets of Drachten, Holland.

The goal: an “urban river” visible from Google Earth, with the words “WATER IS LIFE” stretched across it.

Although the installation hasn’t shown up on Google Earth yet, the current Drachten view seems to have been snapped earlier in 2007, so it’s a matter of waiting for the satellites to come ’round — because we know Google stuff always does.

WooMe, the online speed introduction platform cooked up by the folks behind PayPal, has finally launched in alpha.

It takes 30 seconds to register, then you’re on your way to all the 5-minute video chat sessions your heart desires. After each, you’re asked (thankfully, not by the datee) whether or not the person wooed you.

If the answer is yes, you chip in $1 to get each other’s real contact info. Which seems to us like a much better deal than the traditional dinner-movie-drinks scenarios that often have thanks-but-no-thanks endings. (Plus, it makes it so much easier to “go to the restroom” if things start going awry.)

And if things do go right, perhaps you’ll get to move your personal pin on this 1777 German map of the Empire of Love.

If you don’t sprechen Sie Deutch, here’s the gist:

* GABIET DER JUGEND = Land of Youth (Forest of Love, Kiss Field, Flirting Game, Charm Castle, Stream of Wishes, Worry-Free, Joy’s Home, Beautiful House, Source of Joy, Sweet Look, Wisecrack Place, Rich River, Warning Castle)

* GABIET DER TRAURENDEN LIEBE = Land of Mourning Love (Anger’s Home, Flood of Tears, Whim Mountain, Complaint Place, Hopeless Mountains, Loathing, Strict Place, Swamp of Profanity, Desert of Melancholy)

* GABIET DER LUSTE = Land of Lust (Illness Valley, Weak Home, Intoxication Field, Lechery, Hospital)

* GABIET DER GLUCKLICHEN LIEBE = Land of Happy Love (Lust Wood [ed: Niiice.], Answered Prayers, Pleasant View, Enjoyment, Tenderness, Good Times, Affection Farm, Satisfaction, Compliance Mountain, Fountain of Joy, Marriage Harbor, Reaward City, Peace of Mind, Bliss Town)

* GABIET DER HAGESTOLZE = Bachelor Country (Stupidity Town, Rejection Place, Irritation, Indifference, Place of Contempt, Reprehensibility, Old Age Mountains, Separation, Hat, Obstinacy, Wrangler Hall, Exasperation Heath, Hamlet of Death, Sea of Doubt)

* GABIET DER FIXEN IDEEN = Land of Obsessions (Place of Sighs, Desire Town, Unrest, City of Dreams, Bridge of Hope, Disloyalty, Sweet River of Tears, Little Town of Instincts)
