History Main / VideoFullOfFilmClips

** "Addams Family Rap" from ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' included random clips from the film as well as new footage of the cast interacting with Hammer.

* "No More Lonely Nights" by [[Music/PaulMcCartney Paul [=McCartney=]]], from his film ''Give My Regards to Broad Street''

** Snow Patrol's "Signal Fire" (''Film/SpiderMan3''), while not directly featuring film clips, re-enacts the plot of the film with children dressed up as the various characters.

* {{Madonna}}, in addition to the ''Austin Powers'' example listed above, had other tie-in videos:

* Music/{{Metallica}}'s first video, "One", was clips of them playing interspersed with scenes from ''JohnnyGotHisGun''. Originally, it was just going to be a PerformanceVideo, until the band bought the film rights to use it in the video (as it is a FilkSong and they would complement it well).

* {{Ministry}}'s "What About Us?" - the band had a cameo playing the song in ''AIArtificialIntelligence'' during the Flesh Fair scene, so the video is mainly an extended version of said cameo, coupling clips of that sequence with footage of the band miming on the set. Oddly, the song wasn't even included on the ''A.I.'' soundtrack album, and the video was made to promote Ministry's ''[[GreatestHitsAlbum Greatest Fits]]'' instead.

* Semisonic's FNT had two versions, one with clips from ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'' and another from ''The Long Kiss Goodnight'' starring SamuelLJackson and Geena Davis.

* Music/CyndiLauper's "Film/TheGoonies 'R' Good Enough" has the odd tactic of devoting an entire chunk of the music video to nothing ''but'' clips of the movie set in more or less chronological order. The rest of the seven-minute is filled with Lauper joining the group on an adventure, and features from well-known WWF wrestlers like Captain Lou Albano, Roddy Piper and the Iron Sheik, and director Creator/StevenSpielberg.

** DuranDuran's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp4CR2HcHLQ&ob=av3e video for]] "Film/AViewToAKill" (in which many of the clips are cut so it appears the band is actually helping Bond escape his enemies).

** {{Garbage}}'s video for "Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough", featuring Shirley Manson as an undercover agent and filled with clips.
** {{Madonna}}'s "Film/DieAnotherDay", which features the singer dancing in an interrogation room as footage from the film plays.

** Via a channel-surfing motif, "UHF" combines clips from the movie with Al visually spoofing video stars he hadn't already tackled onscreen by the end of TheEighties (TalkingHeads, {{Prince}}, BillyIdol, Music/TheBeatles, PeterGabriel, etc.).

* BillyIdol:

** "Cradle of Love" features scenes from ''The Adventures of Ford Fairlane'' - but without featuring in them main star Andrew Dice Clay, who had been banned from MTV.
* Billy Ocean's "When The Going Gets Tough", from ''Jewel of the Nile'' features clips mixed with faux-performance footage where the film's lead actors (Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny Devito) all appear and ham it up by pretending to sing.

* Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise" (from ''Film/DangerousMinds'') intercuts clips with new footage featuring Michelle Pfeiffer and Coolio sitting in a room glaring at each other.
* Cyndi Lauper's "Film/TheGoonies 'R' Good Enough" has the odd tactic of devoting an entire chunk of the music video to nothing ''but'' clips of the movie set in more or less chronological order. The rest of the seven-minute is filled with Lauper joining the group on an adventure, and features from well-known WWF wrestlers like Captain Lou Albano, Roddy Piper and the Iron Sheik, and director Creator/StevenSpielberg.

* Music/{{Dorothee}}'s "Les Petits Ewoks" (from ''TheEwokAdventure'') is a straight usage of this trope - the singer is filmed in front of a green-screen forest, singing over clips from the movie.
* Music/EnVogue's "Don't Let Go" had two versions produced. The first features the group performing in a condo for a group of people (including a man - played by Mekhi Phifer - who cheated on every member of the group), while the second reused the performance footage and featured clips from the Jada Pinkett Smith heist film ''Set It Off''.

* "Iris" from the Music/GooGooDolls was featured on the ''Film/CityOfAngels'' soundtrack, and features lead singer Johnny Rzenick sitting up in a watchtower using a telescope to look at various things, including scenes from the movie (such as Meg Ryan's character riding a bike).

* DestinysChild's "Independent Women, Part 1" (from ''Film/CharliesAngels'') features the group singing at a board meeting as clips from the film play on a screen behind them.
* Dorothee's "Les Petits Ewoks" (from ''TheEwokAdventure'') is a straight usage of this trope - the singer is filmed in front of a green-screen forest, singing over clips from the movie.
* En Vogue's "Don't Let Go" had two versions produced. The first features the group performing in a condo for a group of people (including a man - played by Mekhi Phifer - who cheated on every member of the group), while the second reused the performance footage and featured clips from the Jada Pinkett Smith heist film ''Set It Off''.
* Faith Hill's video for "Where Are You Christmas?" from the live-action ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' had the singer walking through situations that reflect the film.
* The Music/FooFighters have two, but both have storylines as well. "Breakout" is inspired by ''Me, Myself and Irene'', and is probably better than that movie (Dave Grohl and Traylor Howard - who starred in that movie - go to to a drive-in to see ''Me, Myself and Irene'', and Dave eventually suffers a SplitPersonalityTakeover like JimCarrey does in the movie).

* The first video for {{Garbage}}'s "Breaking Up The Girl" contained only bits and pieces of the completed video, as well as behind the scenes footage of the band, and clips from the ''{{Daria}}'' movie ''Is It College Yet?''. The second did not.

* "I Stand Alone" by Music/{{Godsmack}} does this intermixed with ''TheScorpionKing''.
* "Iris" from the Goo Goo Dolls was featured on the ''Film/CityOfAngels'' soundtrack, and features lead singer Johnny Rzenick sitting up in a watchtower using a telescope to look at various things, including scenes from the movie (such as Meg Ryan's character riding a bike).
* Music/GunsNRoses's "You Could Be Mine" uses clips from ''Terminator 2'' to make it look like the Terminator is trying to kill them.

For copyright reasons, there is often also a version of the video ''without'' the film clips as well for uses where the right to the film clips are not available such as the artist's own concerts or media releases.

* Semisonic's FNT had two versions, one with clips from ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'' and another from ''The Long Kiss Goodnight'' starring SamuelLJackson and GeenaDavis.

* The marketing campaign for the 1998 ''{{Film/Godzilla}}'' remake had the interesting tactic of not showing the full profile of the titular reptile in its various music videos:

In more annoying examples, ever since TheNineties, the song will have no direct relation to the movie at all other than the video, especially if the video is fully coherent without the film clips, since it might have been re-edited to include them [[hottip:*:Movie soundtracks are often a dumping ground for record companies trying to recoup some money off of previously-unreleased songs]]. The aversion is when the song is featured on a movie soundtrack, and might be directly related to the movie, but won't feature any clips from the movie at all, though thematic elements or even actors from the film may appear.

* ''Franchise//ANightmareOnElmStreet'':

** Sum 41's "What We're All About" (''Spider-Man'')
** Ana Johansson's "We Are" (''Spider-Man 2'')

** Snow Patrol's "Signal Fire" (''Spider-Man 3''), while not directly featuring film clips, re-enacts the plot of the film with children dressed up as the various characters.

** U2's video for ''Film/BatmanForever'''s "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" turned Bono into an [[AnimatedMusicVideo animated]] {{Batman}} comic book villain (inspired by his personas in the Zoo TV tour, The Fly and Mr. Macphisto) and intercut these sequences (including a rooftop performance by the comic-book version of the band) the with carefully-edited scenes from the movie.

* The music video for KellyClarkson's "Breakaway", intersped with not just clips but the poster for ''ThePrincessDiaries 2: Royal Engagement''.

* ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet'':

[[folder:Film Franchises]]

** Melanie B's "Word Up!" featured the singer dancing in a futuristic costume in the moon base from ''The Spy Who Shagged Me'', coupled with film clips.
** Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" averts this - although Myers is present in-character, no clips from the film are seen, and the plot is wholly separate from the movies.

* "Take Me There" in "WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie", and "Who Let the Dogs Out?" in WesternAnimation/RugratsInParis.

* 'Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet'':

** Monica's "For You I Will" has the singer walking into an abandoned movie theatre, watching clips from ''SpaceJam''.

* The '"Film/TombRaider'' series had two:

** Korn's "Did My Time" had a tie-in music video created (featuring additional footage shot with Angelina Jolie and the band), but the song didn't appear on the soundtrack.

* Most music videos for the ''Film/JamesBond'' movie themes, even those which [[ConceptVideo add a story in-between]], such as DuranDuran's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp4CR2HcHLQ&ob=av3e video for]] "Film/AViewToAKill" (in which many of the clips are cut so it appears the band is actually helping Bond escape his enemies. The band is [[OldShame really quite embarrassed by it these days.]])
** Though both {{Garbage}}'s one for "Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough" and {{Madonna}}'s "Film/DieAnotherDay" have 007-less versions.
* Cleverly played with in the Music/{{Beck}} video "Deadweight" for the film ''A Life Less Ordinary'', in which Beck walks through a series of surreal situations that reflect scenes from the film. For example, he dials a number on a phone on a beach; the video then cuts to Cameron Diaz's character picking up a phone in the movie.
** Faith Hill's video for "Where Are You Christmas?" from the live-action ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' did something similar.
* Similarly, the {{U2}} video "Elevation" digitally adds behatted guitarist The Edge to a series of clips from the ''TombRaider'' movie, "hilariously" turning him into Lara Croft's sidekick.
* U2's video for ''Film/BatmanForever'''s "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" turned Bono into an [[AnimatedMusicVideo animated]] {{Batman}} comic book villain (inspired by his personas in the Zoo TV tour, The Fly and Mr. Macphisto) and intercut these sequences (including a rooftop performance by the comic-book version of the band) the with carefully-edited scenes from the movie. It's arguably much better than the movie that spawned it.
** The movie also gave us Seal's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMD2TwRvuoU "Kiss From a Rose"]] and MethodMan's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNKI7VNCdcg The Riddler]]". Interestingly, these two have their priorities switched: Seal's song was written independently, but in the video he's standing in front of the Bat-signal. Meth's video on the other hand is generic gangsta rap fare about some rival crimelord with movie clips awkwardly forced in. However, it's possibly the only song on the soundtrack actually written for the movie.

** Music/{{Prince}}'s videos for his ''Film/{{Batman}}'' (1989) soundtrack songs likewise avert this. He refused to use film clips in his videos, even in the StupidStatementDanceMix "Batdance".
* The video for {{Kiss}}' version of "God Gave Rock And Roll To You" consists of Kiss archive clips and the rest of it is just a PerformanceVideo.
* Badly Drawn Boy provided two songs (and an entire score) for the movie ''AboutABoy''; the video clips for both built a very funny back story for the duck Marcus accidentally kills in one scene. In the clip for "Something to Talk About", we see how the duck has been tormenting the singer relentlessly since childhood, and he is finally freed from its tyranny when it dies; in the clip for "Silent Sigh" a scientist from the future unearths the frozen duck, and reading its memories finds that it was in love, but its partner was run over by a car -- which happened to have the young singer in the back seat.
* {{Beyonce}}'s song "Check On It", which was written for, but ultimately not included on the soundtrack for the 2006 remake of ''ThePinkPanther''.
* Anastasia and Ben Moody's song "Everything Burns" has no link in lyrics, concept, theme, or mood to the film ''Film/FantasticFour'', but that's all the video's about.
** This is one of the sloppier examples, since a version of the video exists without any references--direct or thematic--to the Fantastic Four at all, leaving it a perfectly average (if mopey) music video, and making it clear that the song has nothing to do with the movie.
* Cleverly avoided in the video for "Signal Fire" by Snow Patrol. The video shows a kids' school pageant where they re-enact ''Film/{{Spider-Man}} 1 + 2'', and it ups the sweet cleverness by making the main character of the video the kid who played the spider for thirty seconds at the start of the play. And he gets the girl in the end. Aww...
** This also has some fairly kickass makeshift effects. The kind that gives that feeling of nostalgic jealousy that your school plays weren't more like that.
* Music/BryanAdams's video for "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" played over the end credits of ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'' was him walking around singing interspersed with clips from the movie.
* Music/{{Metallica}}'s first video, "One", was clips of them playing interspersed with scenes from ''JohnnyGotHisGun''. Originally, it was just going to be a PerformanceVideo, until the band bought the film rights to use it in the video (as it is a FilkSong and they would complement it well).
* "No More Lonely Nights" by [[Music/PaulMcCartney Paul [=McCartney=]]], from his film ''Give My Regards to Broad Street''.
* LampshadeHanging in the clip for Music/{{REM}}'s "The Great Beyond" - the clips from ''Film/ManOnTheMoon'' are presented as commercial breaks during a live taping of their performance for TV. At one point, the band members waiting out their break throw darts at a screen the clips are being projected upon. Moreover, the band actually discovers the FourthWall and escapes by smashing it, emerging from a TV set somewhere else; this is a subtle reference to Creator/AndyKaufman's experimentation with various television tropes.
* Music/{{Queen}}'s "Flash", the theme song of the 1980 ''Film/FlashGordon'' movie, which features the band performing in front a screen showing clips from the film.
** Queen's video for "Radio Ga-Ga" contains numerous clips of Fritz Lang's silent film ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'', as well as brief shots from almost every clip for earlier Queen songs.
** The video for Queen's song "Princes of the Universe" interspersed clips of the film ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' with scenes of the band (on the film set), culminating in a sword fight between Freddie Mercury and a guest-starring Christopher Lambert.
** A particularly egregious Queen example is "One Year of Love", also from ''Film/{{Highlander}}'', which originally had no video. The song later appeared on Queen's second compilation album (''Classic Queen'' or ''Greatest Hits II'', depending on your locale), and a video was needed to make the album match its corresponding VHS video compilation. One was cobbled together from ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' clips and clips from other Queen videos.
** And the video for Queen's song "The Show Must Go On" was ''entirely'' composed of clips from previous Queen videos. This was because Freddie Mercury's health was rapidly declining by this point, and he could not appear in a new video.
** One more Queen example: Their video for the song "Bohemian Rhapsody", one of the earliest music videos, was re-cut to include clips from the movie ''Film/WaynesWorld'', after said movie [[RevivalByCommercialization featured it prominently on its soundtrack and became a hit.]]
* One of the earlier examples is Berlin's "Take My Breath Away", from ''Film/TopGun''.
* Most of the various music videos cooked up for the songs from BubblegumCrisis fall under this trope. Most of the footage usually comes from the episode the song appeared in, but clips from other episodes also shows up now and then.
* Some music videos for ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' songs invoke this trope as well. Here is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iV30wZPwkA one of them]].
* Music/SmashMouth's "All Star" video originally contained clips from ''Film/MysteryMen'' and sported a cameo from the cast of the film, but when the song became [[BreakawayPopHit much more popular than the movie]], the clips and the scene featuring the cast were taken out.
* The Psychedelic Furs' "Pretty In Pink": While the original video consisted of Richard Butler lip syncing inside an Alice In Wonderland-inspired house, once it became associated with the film of the same name, a second video was made featuring movie clips alternating with shots of the band miming with painted-over stills green-screened behind them, which was the director's way of putting a more artistic spin on things.
* The video for {{Paramore}}'s "Decode" is filled with clips from ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', and looks like it was shot in the same forest.
* Music/WeirdAlYankovic had this with bits of ''Film/JohnnyDangerously'' cut into 'This Is the Life'; the video itself is ''not'' a PerformanceVideo itself.
** Via a channel-surfing motif, "UHF" combines clips from the movie with Al visually spoofing video stars he hadn't already tackled onscreen by the end of TheEighties (TalkingHeads, {{Prince}}, BillyIdol, Music/TheBeatles, PeterGabriel, etc.).
* Music/{{Dokken}}'s "Dream Warriors", from the soundtrack of ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors''. The clips are sort-of integrated into the video, with the band performing and running around in a warehouse not unlike the one featured in the dream scene near the beginning of the film. Also, at the end it appears to be AllJustADream... of Freddy's!

* The music videos for the covers on Disneymania are generally this
* [[LinkinPark Linkin Park's]] "New Divide" from the ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' soundtrack.
** They did it again for when "Iridescent" was used in ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'', with the band singing the song on the moon while images of Autobots and Decepticons from the film's key scenes stand in the background.
* [[{{Hammerman}} M.C. Hammer]]'s "Addams Family Rap" from ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' included random clips from the film as well as new footage of the cast interacting with Hammer.
* As it was released as a single to promote ''Dangerously Close'', The Smithereens' "Blood and Roses" originally mixed clips of the movie with footage of the band playing in an empty school, as one of the film's characters lurked in the background. While not technically a BreakawayPopHit, since the song was already released on their debut album, the song became more popular than the movie, so it later was re-edited into a straight performance video. They couldn't cut the character out of background shots though, leading people who'd never even heard of the movie to wonder why this mysterious man in sunglasses was in the video just standing around doing nothing.

* "Take me There" in "WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie", and "Who Let the Dogs Out?" in WesternAnimation/RugratsInParis.
* ''[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'', with "Duel of the Fates", which also includes behind the scenes stuff and a "tone poem" featured on a TV spot. ''[[Film/AttackOfTheClones Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones]]'' had "Across the Stars", which is more straightforward (cuts between JohnWilliams and his orchestra and the movie).
* [[Music/TheStooges Iggy Pop]]'s "Lust for Life" video contains clips from ''Literature/{{Trainspotting}}''. Notable for the fact that the song is about 20 years older than the film.
* The HarveyDanger cover of "Save It For Later" from the ''200 Cigarettes'' soundtrack featured the band interacting with characters from the film via edited footage and body doubles. For instance at one point the singer drops his glasses in a mostly empty bowl with leftover frosting in it while performing - cut to a shot of Martha Plimpton's character licking frosting off one lens of a similar pair of glasses, then another shot of the singer picking the glasses back up, licking the other lens, and putting them back on. It's just well-integrated enough that if you aren't familiar with the film it might just seem like an exceptionally cameo-filled 80's-themed music video at first.

* The Proclaimers' second video for "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)," which included clips from ''Benny & Joon''.
* BillyIdol's "Speed" is a pretty standard example - faux live performance footage coupled with footage from [[Film/{{Speed}} the film of the same name]], primarily action shots of the bus swerving around. In this case it's something specifically written for the movie though, and the lyrics ''do'' at least prominently use driving dangerously fast as a metaphor.
** Billy Idol's "Cradle of Love" features scenes from ''The Adventures of Ford Fairlane'' - but without featuring in them main star Andrew Dice Clay, who had been banned from MTV.
* Music/TenaciousD's "POD" from ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'' takes it in a very meta direction: the song is specifically about how awesome the movie is, and the video has them singing it in the middle of a crowded theater showing the movie itself (and eventually getting thrown out by security after annoying one too many people).
* The UK release of ''Film/NightAtTheMuseum'' used Mcfly's "Friday Night" in the end credits. As expected, the official music video included clips from the movie alongside footage of the band fooling around in London.
* "I Stand Alone" by Music/{{Godsmack}} does this intermixed with ''TheScorpionKing''.
* Music/GirlsAloud's video for their cover of Jump (For My Love) is intercut with film clips from LoveActually, creating the illusion that the band snuck into Downing Street and spotting Hugh Grant's character dancing.

* Music/MichaelJackson did a video for each of the first two ''FreeWilly'' movies. "Will You Be There" wasn't written for it but exported from his album ''Dangerous'', so its video just intercuts a stage performance with movie clips. "Childhood (Theme from ''Free Willy 2'')" was written for its film and averts this trope in its video, with the kids from the movie showing up to join a procession of happy children in flying boats while Jackson mournfully croons in a forest below.
* This fan-made video of [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/johann-hari/david-camerons-anti-gover_b_801500.html The KLF - America No More (What Time Is War)]] uses footage from ''Film/TheDayAfter''.
* A Perfect Circle's "Passive" is a mix of clips from ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' and band-playing clips- except the latter are stylized with a false-color camera to fit in with the visual style used in that scene from the movie. The song was used in the movie.
* SkinnyPuppy's "Worlock" consists of deleted [[{{Gorn}} gory footage]] from 50 different horror films; due to the content and copyright issues, it was [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes banned from broadcast and circulation]].

* Lisa Lougheed's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usFFKNRB2z8 "Run with Us"]], the credits theme for ''TheRaccoons'', uses clips from the show's pre-series ''Lost Star'' special.
* The Music/FooFighters have two, but both have storylines as well. "Breakout" is inspired by ''Me, Myself and Irene'', and is probably better than that movie (Dave Grohl and Traylor Howard - who starred in that movie - go to to a drive-in to see ''Me, Myself and Irene'', and Dave eventually suffers a SplitPersonalityTakeover like JimCarrey does in the movie). "The One" was more inspired by ''Film/{{Fame}}'' than ''Orange County'', but still opens with Dave reenacting a scene of said movie.
* Systems in Blue's "Dr. No" [[NamesTheSame coincidentally shares its title]] with a [[Film/DrNo James Bond film]], and [[{{Fanvid}} a fan made]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_3Lag-3j2o a video for the song]] with clips from the film.
* The video for Music/{{Aerosmith}}'s "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" does this with clips from ''Film/{{Armageddon}}''.
* The video for Music/{{Warrant}}'s cover of "[[Music/{{Queen}} We Will Rock You]]" is full of clips from the 1992 boxing movie ''Gladiator''.
* Music/PatBenatar's "Invincible" video does this for ''TheLegendOfBillieJean''.
* The RedHotChiliPeppers cover of "Love Roller Coaster" alternates between clips of ''BeavisAndButthead Do America'' and an animated version of the band themselves meeting Beavis and Butthead on a literal "love rollercoaster" (or at least, one shaped like a heart).

* "This Ain't No Picnic" by TheMinutemen is a rare example where the song has absolutely nothing to do with the film: It pairs DeliberatelyMonochrome footage of the band in a barren field with StockFootage from a public domain war film starring RonaldReagan as a fighter pilot, manipulating the action to make it seem like Reagan is attempting to drop bombs on the band.
* {{Madonna}}'s "Crazy for You" video shows clips from ''Film/VisionQuest'' regarding the romance of Matthew Modine and Linda Fiorentino's characters with Madonna performing at the bar that was shown at the movie.
* The first video for {{Garbage}}'s "Breaking Up The Girl" contained only bits and pieces of the completed video, as well as behind the scenes footage of the band, and clips from the ''{{Daria}}'' movie ''Is It College Yet?''. The second did not.
** A version of "When I Grow Up" has clips of ''BigDaddy''. And of course, there's the Bond theme above.

* {{Ministry}}'s "What About Us?" - the band had a cameo playing the song in ''AIArtificialIntelligence'' during the Flesh Fair scene, so the video is mainly an extended version of said cameo, coupling clips of that sequence with footage of the band miming on the set. Oddly, the song wasn't even included on the ''A.I.'' soundtrack album, and the video was made to promote Ministry's ''[[GreatestHitsAlbum Greatest Fits]]'' instead.
* Lääz Rockit's video for "Leatherface" shows the band rocking in badlands with clips of ''Film/LeatherfaceTheTexasChainsawMassacreIII'' in between. Musical instruments also get destroyed by a chainsaw.

* The music video for Monica's "For You I Will" has the singer walking into an abandoned movie theatre, watching clips from ''SpaceJam''.
* The music video for KellyClarkson's "Breakaway", intersped with not just clips but the poster for ''ThePrincessDiaries 2: Royal Engagement''.
* Music/GunsNRoses's "You Could Be Mine" uses clips from ''Terminator 2'' to make it look like the Terminator is trying to kill them.

* [[{{Nickelback}} Chad Kroeger]] and Josey Scott's "Hero" from the ''[[Film/{{Spider-ManTrilogy}} Spider-Man]]'' soundtrack.
** {{Sum 41}}'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr9NmG68vPQ "What We're All About"]] even adds a scene of the movie to the ending.

* TenaciousD's "POD" from ''TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'' takes it in a very meta direction: the song is specifically about how awesome the movie is, and the video has them singing it in the middle of a crowded theater showing the movie itself (and eventually getting thrown out by security after annoying one too many people).

* ''[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace]], with "Duel of the Fates", which also includes behind the scenes stuff and a "tone poem" featured on a TV spot. ''[[Film/AttackOfTheClones Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones]]'' had "Across the Stars", which is more straightforward (cuts between JohnWilliams and his orchestra and the movie).

* ''StarWars Episode I: Film/ThePhantomMenace'', with "Duel of the Fates", which also includes behind the scenes stuff and a "tone poem" featured on a TV spot. ''AttackOfTheClones'' had "Across the Stars", which is more straightforward (cuts between JohnWilliams and his orchestra and the movie).
* IggyPop's "Lust for Life" video contains clips from ''Literature/{{Trainspotting}}''. Notable for the fact that the song is about 20 years older than the film.

* "No More Lonely Nights" by PaulMcCartney, from his film ''Give My Regards to Broad Street''.
* LampshadeHanging in the clip for [[{{REM}} R.E.M.'s]] "The Great Beyond" - the clips from ''ManOnTheMoon'' are presented as commercial breaks during a live taping of their performance for TV. At one point, the band members waiting out their break throw darts at a screen the clips are being projected upon. Moreover, the band actually discovers the FourthWall and escapes by smashing it, emerging from a TV set somewhere else; this is a subtle reference to AndyKaufman's experimentation with various television tropes.
* {{Queen}}'s "Flash", the theme song of the 1980 ''Film/FlashGordon'' movie, which features the band performing in front a screen showing clips from the film.

** ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' gave us "The End Is The Beginning Is The End" by TheSmashingPumpkins, "Gotham City" and its remix by RKelly, and "Look Into My Eyes" by BoneThugsNHarmony. "Foolish Games" by {{Jewel}} averts this, though.

* Some music videos for ''TheBackyardigans'' songs invoque this trope as well. Here is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iV30wZPwkA one of them]].
* SmashMouth's "All Star" video originally contained clips from ''Film/MysteryMen'' and sported a cameo from the cast of the film, but when the song became [[BreakawayPopHit much more popular than the movie]], the clips and the scene featuring the cast were taken out.

-->'''Freddy Krueger''': What a nightmare! Who were those guys?

* The UK release of ''NightAtTheMuseum'' used Mcfly's "Friday Night" in the end credits. As expected, the official music video included clips from the movie alongside footage of the band fooling around in London.
