MTV aired the first music videos in the early 80s (I believe "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles was the first) and they've since become a staple in the music industry. Videos can take a variety of formats. Some feature the artists, performing live or in the studio. Others use various images, often telling a story.
Here are a couple of videos that I think are quite clever. The first is "Rockstar" by Nickelback. It features a variety of famous faces interspersed with ordinary folks all lip-synching the title song.
The second video is "Name Droppin'" by the Christian rapper T-Bone. Almost every line he speaks works in the name of a Christian performer. He's also joined by a number of well-known artists in the video.
I can watch both of these over and over! I invariably catch something new each time.

I spotted quite a few famous faces in the Nickel Back video!
We heard a Christian "rapper" when we picked up David at camp. Not my cup of tea but if relates the Gospel and gets the young ones interested, more power to them.
I love Nickelback and had never seen this video! Loved the recognition factor of some of the "actors", but my fave was the cute kid in the fruit/veggie aisle.
I listened to T-Bone, but we disconnect on this one!
Looked at your Shelfari!!! Should I read "The Thirteenth Tale"??
Yes, Quid, read it! I bet you'd really enjoy it.
OK.
