Silverball is a cool song. The lead singer Ed from The Bare Naked Ladies is a true pinhead. I run into him every once in a while at the local pinball parts supplier and a friend of mine is his pinball tech. Ed has a very nice collection . Im pretty sure he frequents pinside a fair bit under an assumed name.
Quoted from PismoArcade:So I'm guessing TheLaw isn't a BNL fan.
Well I'm sure they make fine music and they are pinball lovers so great for them, nothing but the best wishes.
But that aint no frikkin best video evar nominee.
I don't know about the greatest video of all time but the uncensored version of "Gimme Good Lovin" by Helix sure made an impression on my 10 year old mind at the time.
The video is complete with someone that would go on to become quite (in)famous shortly after the video was shot.

Quoted from RJW:I don't know about the greatest video of all time
You guys do know that i really dont think that first video i posted is not a video that i actually think is good right ? 
Quoted from SUPERBEE:hot women, and maple syrup
Expensive lube, but sounds like fun
Played fish heads as a Surprise song for my daughters wedding last week......It was our father daughter dance!
Quoted from EvanDickson:Thriller is deff up there.
Take On Me and Fishheads deff rank too.
Thriller was huge back in the day. 15 minutes long, it was more of a short film than a video. I remember MTV would run a countdown on the screen to when Thriller would be played again. Is it the best ever? It could be. It set the bar pretty high.
100 points to Floyd, basically anything Pink Floyd was doing back in the day was trailblazing, so I think it pretty much all contends as greatest music video. Right up and through rock operas like Tommy (double points for being about a pinball guy, triple points for then spawning a pinball machine 
)
20 Points to Pearl Jam for mixing animation and angsty music, maybe for the first time.
50 points to Daft Punk for doing a whole concept album (Discovery) and setting videos for it in Macross. Every time I hear anything off this whole record I want to buy my first and only pachinko - they made a Macross one. Well, a bunch of them, but one that looks really fun.
50 more points to Daft Punk for making Da Funk 15 years before that. This was definitely something new and weird at the time.
60 points to Fatboy Slim for recruiting Walken to dance / fly around for Weapon of Choice.
15 points to Primus for doing their crazy shit back in the day.
40 points to OK Go for any one of their series of Rube Goldberg videos.
Minus 200 points to Herbie Hancock for making this thing that still gives me the same creeps at 44 as it gave me at 4. But also plus 250 because it was brilliant at the time.
50 points to Dire Straits for being cool as f*&k and probably being the first to do a computer animated video. Minus 10,000 points to the internet for apparently censoring the original video out of existence.
75 points to Madonna for somehow causing a global outrage because black Jesus or something like that.
5 points to Duran Duran for Girls on Film that kept causing outrage and censorship around the world for... well... girls that are dressed more conservatively than you'd see in one of the more boring gum commercials these days.
A dozen points to Bloodhound Gang, not for contention as "best video ever", but their videos were all definitely entertaining.
My brain hurts from remembering too hard now.

Quoted from SUPERBEE:Or is it this one ??? You decide ...
» YouTube video
If ya gonna link Fish Head...link the right video:
As far as pinball related music videos I'm going to go with Canadian rockers Diemonds (shot in the pinball hall of fame):
Overall...that's a tough call. I might vote Sabotage also......or Super Rad!:
Quoted from thundergod76:Based on my juvenile tastes in music...

30 years later still know all the words by rote without knowing at the time where or what the places being sung about were.
Without a doubt #1 is Fatboy Slim video with Christopher Walken, but runner up videos are....
Men Without Hats, Safety Dance...
Gorillaz Stylo...
Replacements “Bastards of Young”
Video represents the band’s reaction to being forced into doing it by their label, and fits the song perfectly!
Not an official video, but it is just too perfect a combination of sound+vision not to share:
Human achievement at the highest level perfectly synced with a really great track from a fantastic band, very uplifting!
Quoted from vicjw66:Like one of the early posters said. Take on me. Or as Yoda would say, "Take me on".
