Top 10 Good Songs with the Worst Music Videos

These are good/great songs that have gotten bad music videos. You might want to listen to the song alone.
The Top Ten
1 Wrecking Ball - Miley Cyrus

Song: Miley's voice fits perfectly for this song and sings it greatly. It's a very good song about love.
Video: You know what it is: Licking hammers, her naked on the wrecking ball... Just a horrible concept.

Song: The vocals fit very well, and Miley is showing true emotion.
Video: She is naked on a construction site.

My lyrics: I hate the stupid Wrecking Ball

I liked both the video and the song.

2 Don't Wanna Know - Maroon 5

Song: Kinda repetitive but catchy and fun to listen to. It's okay.
Video: They are dressed as pokemon and being chased by people on their phones. This was released alfter the pokemon go had completely died down, plus it's totally unrelated to the song.

This video was awesome! It was a rant at how celebrties get so much overexposure they epnd less time with loved ones, and then the girl was a pokemon who escaped cause of it

Song:Nice beat and good vocals.
Video:They are dressed as pokemon and being caught, like actual pokemon go.

3 Paradise - Coldplay

Song: Catchy and good singing. One of Coldplay's worst but still pretty good.
Video: A guy in an elephant costume going through different locations.

4 Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler

Song: A catchy and heartfelt ballad which Bonnie sings greatly. This is really a great song.
Video: Totally unrelated to the song. Totally random stuff in this.

To be honest I kind of like the video here even if it is not related to the song.

The general trend seems to be music videos unrelated to their songs.

5 Rude - Magic

Song: Yeah, I actually like this. It's okay. It's catchy and, while the lyrics aren't the best, it's pretty okay.
Video: A guy going to another guy's house various times for his daughter even when the father said no.

6 If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher

Song: Powerful and strong song which is also very catchy. Cher sings it greatly.
Video: Cher dancing around on a battleship. No relation to the song.

what did the video have to do with the song?

7 Shut Up and Dance - Walk the Moon

Song: Catchy, energetic and sung well. Pretty good song.
Video: I get what they tried to do, a video that reminds you of 80s ones, but this is like one of the worse ones from the decade.

8 Sorry - Justin Bieber

THe video was not really a msic video. And in my opinion, the song is trash

He should be sorry for making that video

Song: Catchy and Justin Bieber actually singing well.
Video: Absence of JB, instead we have some girls doing a weird choreography.

9 Radioactive - Imagine Dragons

I don't mind the video. It's just that it interrupts the song too much. And that one puppet makes such dreadful noises! If it had a better video, I swear it would have a billion views by now

Song: Epic and powerful song. Great vocals and music.
Video: Puppets... Puppets... I expected something completely different for a song like this.

10 Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey

I like the song, but the video is super cheesy. I'm surprised it hasn't been turned into a meme or something yet.

The Contenders
11 Right Now - Korn
12 Animals - Maroon 5

Song: Sung pretty decently for 2015 Maroon 5 standards
Video: Random naked guys doing random naked stuff in random naked blood

Disgusting horrible music video

13 Don't Let Me Down - The Chainsmokers
14 Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden

Not really a bad music video its just weird

15 Paranoid Android - Radiohead

Basically a bad ripoff of Beavis & Butthead

16 Edge of Glory - Lady Gaga

Song: Great, epic and very energetic.
Video: Gaga doing a simple coreograph in a very unrealistic street.

17 (Oh) Pretty Woman - Van Halen

The ending doesn't make sense!

18 Closer - The Chainsmokers
19 I Want to Break Free - Queen

I only like the music video because they look good in drag. The only bad parts are when the people in the dot jumpsuit start doing weird things.

20 California Gurls - Katy Perry

Not Even California In that Music Video.

21 Call Me - Pain
22 Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5
23 Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift
24 The Motherload - Mastodon

I'm sorry but this video was just awful in my opinion.

25 Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae) - Silento

This is the worst song of all time
