I am looking for music videos (like, the ones the bands make, not the ones we make) involving fantasy imagery (fairies, monsters, unicorns, swords and sorcery, vampires, or even potentially nonmagical period costume dress). You may assume I have already seen all of Lady Gaga's (mermaids! deathsheads! monsters, unicorns, and so on.) Recommendations, please!

unrelatedly, i have more steve and tony bunnies (my life, seriously). like, one where steve finds out about steve/tony fanfiction and keeps sending tony links that are like, my list of recs/anti-recs, but from steve's pov ("In this one you're a vampire! and I'm an asshole?" "Oh my God we are both morons in this one, it's actually kind of creepy how stupid we are" "they made you a supervillain! but they gave Pepper an Iron Man suit, which is awesome, really") and tony's reaction is to link steve to a youtube of 'the internet is for porn.' and possibly not on youtube actual sex tape(s) of tony. other hilarious corners of the internet steve could find: apparently in the porn business non-fanfiction side of things, cap/wonder woman is a... reasonably popular pairing. dude I don't even know don't ask how i found it, i burned the browser history. and steve's complaints are "she's a fictional character! and we're both in full costume, how do they think we could.... do it?" oh steve.

also if things keep up as they have been in my personal life, i'm going to be inflicting the wonders of modern dentistry on steve as displacement or catharsis or something.

I've always liked Daisy Chainsaw's Hope Your Dreams Come True video. It's based off an Angela Carter short story about a young soldier who meets a lonely vampire.

It might be more sci-fi, but this K-pop video has a sort of Frankenstein's monster figure.

Oh! "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)"! With the haunted mansion, and the boys turning into monsters! HOW COULD I FORGET THAT?

The only music video that comes to mind is the weird one Meat Loaf did back in the day, the one for "I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", where he's a weird monster living in a ruined mansion, in this kind of cracked-out Phantom of the Opera/Beauty and the Beast scenario.

Yunyu has, I'm sure, but I can only really find the vid for lenores song whichich has a little ghost imagery

Luca Turelli's music is all over the fantasy themes but doesn't have vies as far as I know, there is only the covers. tristania definetely has at least some period dress, and think year of the ratios at least a little fantastical (puppet girl in a box)

Night wish does a lot too, sleeping son, over the hills and far away, nemo.

Sirenia - the other side, cradle of filth (her ghost in the fog) actually, lots of gothic metal bands touch on fantasy themes

  Angelzoom -has "fairytale" but it's more modern hansel and gretel/red riding hood/snow white.

Blondies new vid mother has zombies!

marinarusalka wrote a great fic about Steve and dentists: Comfortably Numb. I hope your teeth get better!

"In this one you're a vampire! and I'm an asshole?"

I know that one! I'm always torn between reccing it (because the world building is quite interesting) and not (because, wow, Steve really is a right bastard when you get down to it even if he kinda gets better? Sort of).

I really want to read one where Steve is traumatizing Tony with the internet now, though.

There is a lot of fun costume & atmosphere in Adam Lambert's If I Had You vid.

First 50 seconds or so of Steve Perry's video for Oh Sherrie (sp?)...though finding a source better than a VHS rip is going to be Fascinating. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oN80al-7BI
