Original OP :

Today i saw on a blog this Music Video :

Mark Ronson - Circuit Breaker

And i was like "awesome !"

But then i remeber that this was not the first music video with game themes ...

Röyksopp – Happy Up Here
Golden Shower – Video Computer System
Pato Pooh ft. Adam Tensta – Follow Me (love the kirby reference xD)
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication (classic =P)
The Go! Team – Junior Kickstart (so sad ='( )

Came to my mind .... and of course there are others like Billy Polard - Losing Light (warning : another sad one) wich was made entirely on DSi's Flipnote and random "i'm playing guitar hero" music videos like my 2 favorites Switchfoot – Awakening and Presidents of the United States of America – Mixed up S.o.B. (but mostly because it was directed by weird al xD) .... but i'm not sure if those count =P

And because I still have the feeling of "those can't be ONLY one" ... i came to YOU and ask :
Do you know something i'm forgeting ?

This one. I've made it my business to show it to all my friends. The WTF look on their face is always priceless.

Wow, I hadn't seen that yet. It totally reminds me of Every day the same dream.
I know! It's the same thing I thought of when I watched it. I assume it was inspired by it. Still, looks like a fun game I would have liked to play back in the 16-bit days. Or even now. I wonder who did the graphics for it. Was it an actual game designer?

Muerte_X said:
This was the first one that came to mind. Can't really think of any others in recent memory.

Seether - Careless Whisper

EXACTLY this one i had in mind when i said hat those can't be the only one !

GuitarAtomik said:
Oh yea, almost forgot this one. It's a Paul Robertson one too.

Architecture in Helsinki - Do the Whirlwind

jett said:

Those came to my mind ... but i felt that besides being pixel art ... they don't have much more to do with games .... or it is that i don't get those references ? =x

Rezbit said:
Sia - You've Changed. Still kinda sucky though.

I REALLY liked how it was done ... would be awesome in a real game, Brütal Legend's menu style

Pixels - Naive New Beaters

It's not an official video but very cool. It got yanked down by Sony or whoever for a bit, but then like a mountain of people reposted it.

Kinda offtopic ... but i heard they buyed this short movie's rights to make a full lenght movie ! =O

There was this video from back in the day that looked like Wipeout. I think it was dance or techno music. I can't remember the name and I'm not sure if it's already been posted here.

From Wikipedia on Bjork's Hyperballad :
The video was directed by Michel Gondry. It features Björk as a computer game character who runs through a strange landscape of pylons and then throws herself off a cliff. This images is intercut with a shot of Björk lying on the ground as colorful, blinking lights and various video images (including some of herself performing the song) are superimposed over her face.
The video was filmed at Telecine Cell in London, using a motion control system. The entire video and all the effects were shot on a single 400ft roll of film, by multiple exposure and frame-accurate backwinding of the film strip. The graphics were shot as a series of secondary exposures using a TV monitor, and the flashing lights were created with an LED strip board, also exposed on the same piece of film. So, extraordinarily, there was no post production or editing at all on this video, except the colour correction transfer to video. This was at the insistence, and under the technical direction of Michel Gondry.

As a huge Gondry fan ... i feel bad for not posting this one sooner =/
