Videos where people become physically affected by music
Are there any videos where the music causes people to do things? Where music takes control of their mobility, etc?
         
Honestly way too many to mention.. You basically just wrote the definition of choreography. Still..

Fatboy Slim "Ya Mama"
Herbie Hancock "Rockit"

Then..
Dirty Vegas "Days Go By"
Futureshock "Late at Night"
etc etc etc etc etc
         
well kev beat me to it by about 5 seconds but i was going to say Fatboy Slim - Ya Mama. There's a high quality embedded QT at Traktor.com
         
for those of you like me who want to be able to download their embedded QT, the fatboy slim video is here
         
a rather drastic example Kate Bush - Experiment IV
         
Holy shit! That was the only Kate Bush vid I haven't seen - and it's fucking brilliant!! For a Pink Floydian 80's vid, of course. It's up there with Cloudbusting. Apparently Kate directed it herself. here it is - Much love to you, sir!

God I wonder what the budget was on that. If I had my own lil kevblog I could easily explore/explain why that type of video doesn't get made anymore. Then, in magicland, I'd pull up some grant money I had and commission benroll to film whatever cool little narrative mv he'd like to as a response. Yay magicland!
         
Atari Teenage Riot "Revolution Action"

:D
         
its shameless, but ill once again refer to my own little video on that matter: videos.antville.org

not a masterpiece, but fits the description.
         
Kev, pleased to be able to point you to something "new"
it is interesting to see early appearances by Dawn French and Hugh Laurie, as well as the old stagers Richard Vernon and Peter Vaughan
perhaps you could do a special guest appearance on 30f's blog, but why not do an opinion piece here?
         
Brand New's video 'Sic Transit Gloria',

plus The Boy Least Likely To with 'Be Gentle With Me'



althought i suppose it isnt the music making them do things... nevermind.
         
late thought, also Jonnie Ross's Go! Team - The Power is On vid which shares similarity of execution with Ya Mama; and execution and theme with Happy's Adam Freeland - We Want Your Soul
