Def Leppard's "Women," now that I think about it.

I think the video for Betty Boo's "Boomania" has little comic book pauses showing Betty in action.

Didn't the Lullaby videao contain a Spiderman-reference?

― willem (willem), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 05:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, Robert says the word "spiderman," but I don't think he's referring to Peter Parker.

Didn't those clowns in the Spin Doctors have some song/video about Kryptonite? Likewise 3 Doors Down?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Duh, A-Ha "Take On Me"

Missy Elliott - Sock It To Me (the video is a complete riff on Megaman)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

One of the small-group incarnations of Sun Ra's Arkestra did a cover album of Batman & Robin themes.

Can I Play With Madness has an animated Eddie.

Missy Elliott - Sock It To Me (the video is a complete riff on Megaman)

Is that the Capcom Megaman (AKA Rockman)?

― mei (mei), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

All the videos for songs used in the Batman movies ("Hold Me, Thrill Me..."by U2, "Gothem City" by R.Kelly, "The End Is The..." by Smashing Pumpkins etc.) Altough I'm not so sure about Prince and the first movie.

what aren't you sure about?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

lyrically...

The Roots' "Thought @ Work"...

"I'm like Aquaman & Brown Hornet..."

And I've heard Kool Keith reference Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Green Lantern, and Lex Luther among many other comic book characters. Shit, Keith might as well BE a comic book character himself.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that the Capcom Megaman (AKA Rockman)?

Yeah. It's one of the best videos ever.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

A) didn't notice the "videos" in the thread title (yes, I'm daft)
B) does anyone know if Kool Keith has ever had a video?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Kool Keith is in the video for hios duet with Princess Superstar on 'Keith & Me'

i think he's also in the video for Regular Fries' 'Coke n Smoke' but not sure about that - he raps on the track

and there might have been a video for 'Blue Flowers' under his Dr OCtagon guise

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

surely Daniel Johnston's Captain America obsession has worked its way into some of his songs?

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 1 April 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Superhero Songs....

― christoff (christoff), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Pearl Jam - "Do the Evolution." One of the coolest-looking videos I've ever seen.

― Evan (Evan), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Fingathing on Grand Central. Hell one of them is actually named Peter Parker and they have a boss track called - Superhero Music.

― Sonny Tremaine (Sonny), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)
