I don't suppose Lady Gaga really needs any more publicity at this point, but here she is anyway:

What she lacks in the ability to make interesting music, she makes up for in extravagance.
("November Rain" is the correct answer.)
For some reason, the first "minimalist" video I thought of was "Bush Was Right," by the Right Brothers:

I can't believe they couldn't come up with any clever way to illustrate their lyrics! Not exactly "good" (it's terrible), but amusing.

Democrats are wonderin' how
Revenue is goin' up
Can you say "tax cuts"?!

I saw The Go-Go's last weekend. It was a lot of fun. Belinda Carlisle said she really liked this video. And so, I share it with you on her behalf.

I did what I could. I feel disqualified since I haven't really paid attention to videos for the past eight years or so.
I tried, but I started drawing blanks on the last ten categories or so.

I thought of another minimalist video that I kinda like. "I Want Love," by Elton John.

I actually considered this one for sexiest video.
And here's my wild card: "Mad Season," by Matchbox Twenty. I've always liked it. Rob Thomas's facial expressions are just perfect.

Leave it to the Pet Shop Boys to make standing in front of a wacky background exciting.
