I will start this off with... Stromae - Alors on Danse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pKrVB5f2W0

One of the best songs and videos ever, in any genre. It has been #1 in a ton of countries, but as is always the case, European music takes a while to reach the US and/or become popular in the US.

I can't stop watching that video over and over again (even though I understand like 10 words in it!)... he plays his role perfectly in the video. Also, I would like to comment that being half Rwandan and half Belgian, he looks very interesting (African hair, European face, African lips, etc) [no homo].

Original lyrics:

This describes his music perfectly:

"He combines 90s electro synths and beats with a laidback delivery to mesmeric effect. - Molloy Woodcraft (critic)"

P.S. I can't embed, but people are welcome to if they like a particular song/video.

Forgot to say in my OP, some of the ones I will post I just like the video/dancing (and not necessarily the song/lyrics itself), or find the video funny/weird/unique/amazing. Definitely true for the She Wolf video.
