once in a lifetime (1980)

It is a surprise to me that this only gains itself 87th place on the channel 4 list of the 100 greatest Music Videos as this video is synonymous with music video legend as it is one of the earliest and most unique of all music videos, made in a time where the pop promo video was only just starting to evolve in to what we today know as a music video "once in a lifetime" blew people away with the erratic dancing of lead singer David Byrne complemented by images of and tribes in a spiritual trance their are many theories as to what David Byrne is trying to impersonate some say he makes the movements like a marionette being moved by a hidden puppet master and some people say he's performing the effects that epilepsy sufferers display when having an epileptic fit at any rate if the movements themselves aren't clear then the point of them most definitely is, as the song itself is about losing control of your life  and so Byrne is mirroring this as he is not in control of his movements this video definitely made the music more popular and is received well across the world and is in some peoples opinion not a music video but a work of art which is why it is now displayed in the New York Museum of Modern Art.
