* Music/{{Ministry}}'s "What About Us?" - the band had a cameo playing the song in ''Film/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.

** Music.DuranDuran's [[https://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.

** Ditto for All-4-One's "Someday" from ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', the first Disney example of this trope in which the song doesn't appear as part of the film's action but only over the end credits.

** Music/SamSmith 's "Writing's on the Wall" from ''Film/{{Spectre}}''features the singer in front of coffins and ruins.

* Music/{{Motorhead}}'s "Born To Raise Hell", the opening theme to ''Film/{{Airheads}}''. The music video shows them, along with Music/IceT and Whitfield Crane, breaking into a movie theater screening the film to perform the song.

* The 1995 romantic drama ''Waiting To Exhale'' had three separate tie-in videos:
** Brandy's "Sitting Up In My Room" features the singer dancing alone, then going to a party to dance, while clips from the film play.
** Mary J. Blige's "Not Gon' Cry" mixes film clips with performance footage, as does Whitney Houston's title track, "Exhale".

* One of the earliest examples of this trope, with its movie arriving about a month before MTV launched, was Christopher Cross's video for [[Film/{{Arthur}} "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)"]] intercuts clips of him and his backing band in a recording studio with clips from the movie. It's the first music video for a song that went on to win the Best Original Song Academy Award.

* Lil Nas X's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ho88VXJTBg Old Town Road (Original Version)]]" features a montage of video clips from the 2018 video game ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2''.

* [[TheRoast The Comedy Central Roast]] of Creator/PamelaAnderson opened with a music video montage featuring clips from all over her career set to the songs "[[Music/MotleyCrue Looks that Kill]]" "[[Music/BlackEyedPeas My Humps]]" "[[Music/LennyKravitz Lady]]" and "[[Music/OkGo So Damn Hot]]". The footage included clips from Baywatch, Miserable, VIP, and Barbedwire, as well as pictures from her modeling career and close-ups of her "assets." The video gradually ramps up speed before ending on the scene from Music/{{Miserable}} were she [[spoiler: catches lead singer A.J. Popoff in her mouth and eats him before strutting away.]]

** ''Film/{{Birds of Prey|2020}}'': "Diamonds" by Music/MeganTheeStallion & Normani, "Boss Bitch" by Music/DojaCat and "Sway With Me" by Saweetie & GALXARA.

** ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'': "Purple Lamborghini]]" by Music/RickRoss and Music/{{Skrillex}} (complete with clips of Creator/JaredLeto as ComicBook/TheJoker that are exclusive to the song) and "Heathens" by Music/TwentyOnePilots.

* ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'': "[[Music/TheBeatles Come Together]]" by Gary Clark Jr.
* ''Film/{{Birds of Prey|2020}}'': "Diamonds]]" by Music/MeganTheeStallion & Normani, "Boss Bitch" by Music/DojaCat and "Sway With Me" by Saweetie & GALXARA.

* Lisa Lougheed's [[https://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, which predates the writing of the song (let alone Lougheed's version of it) by nearly two years!

** Music/U2's video for ''Film/BatmanForever'''s "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" turned Bono into an [[AnimatedMusicVideo animated]] Franchise/{{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.

* Music/MichaelJackson did a video for each of the first two ''Film/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 (Jason James Richter and Francis Capra) showing up to join a procession of happy children in flying boats while Jackson mournfully croons in a forest below.

** Music/{{Garbage}}'s video for "Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough", featuring Shirley Manson as an undercover agent and filled with clips.

** Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" from ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' is a standard clip/performance video.

** And R Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly' naturally has scenes playing out on a field and/or billboard while he sings.

** [[Music/{{Nickelback}} Chad Kroeger]] and Josey Scott's "Hero" (''Spider-Man'')
** Sum 41's "What We're All About" (''Film/SpiderMan1''; one of the clips even tries to connect with the band footage)

* [[TheRoast The Comedy Central Roast]] of Creator/PamelaAnderson opened with a music video montage featuring clips from all over her career set to the songs "[[Music/MotleyCrue Looks that Kill]]" "[[Music/BlackEyedPeas My Humps]]" "[[Music/LennyKravitz Lady]]" and "[[Music/OkGoSo Damn Hot]]". The footage included clips from Baywatch, Miserable, VIP, and Barbedwire, as well as pictures from her modeling career and close-ups of her "assets."

* Music/{{Sia}}'s "Rainbow", from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'', alternates between scenes from the film, including her character Songbird Serenade, and footage of dancer Maddie Ziegler.

** "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 Wrestling/CaptainLouAlbano, [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper "Rowdy" Roddy Piper]] and Wrestling/TheIronSheik, and director Creator/StevenSpielberg.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWyBN14Kp-A music video]] for Music/CatHairballs is made up entirely of clips from multiple episodes, but still manages to tell a story by using [[Recap/RenAndStimpy2x09TheGreatOutdoorsTheCatThatLaidTheGoldenHairball The Cat That Laid The Golden Hairball]] as a through line. The video is about Stimpy being forced to lick up and hwarf hairballs onto a conveyor belt while Ren Stamps them with a big "Grade A" stamp for approval. While at first things seem fun and Stimpy seems happy to be farmed for this {{Unobtainium}}, things turn darker when Stimpy's body starts running out of places to lick and the act of hwarfing becomes more draining and painful as production (and the song) wramps up. Finally this ends with Stimpy, now naked and totally licked clean, suffering a HeroicRROD and passing out on the conveyor belt, and Ren violently [[ButtBrand branding]] Stimpy's [[PainToTheAss ass]] with the "Grade A" stamp.
