Simple, Nice, low budget and weird MTVs

Running through some of the old CDs that I have burn in the past and chance upon one that have several MTVs in them. Few years ago, I was a total MTV fanatics and downloaded tons of them from the internet although MTV was already introduced on TV long ago. If I am not wrong, the first ever MTV was either from Queens or Bungie "Video Kill the Radio star".

Well one of my favourite download got to be Fat Boy Slims- "Weapon of choice". No CG effect, million dollar cast, exoctic outdoor shooting location... just a man, his dance, Chinese's "wire" effect and excellent soundtrack. A simple piece of MTV art that is low in budget, high in quality.

If you could recgonize the only human actor in this MTV, its Christopher Walkens. The man who cast as the Headless Horseman in "Sleepy Hollow" and starrs as a deranged, Russian Roulette gun wielding American soldier alongside Robert De Niro in "The Deer Hunter".
