Music Video Tourney:Rnd 1 (vote for the VIDEO, not the song)

THE DDD MUSIC VIDEO TOURNAMENT

So, the obscure music thread kinda bombed, so I decided that we needed something a bit more inviting.

The Rules of the Game

The most important rule of all:
VOTE FOR THE VIDEO, NOT FOR THE SONG.
This is a music video tournament. Not a song tournament.

Also:
* This will be based on the OLD SCHOOL TOURNAMENT VOTING SYSTEM. That means whatever video gets to five votes first wins the round.
* Try to watch each video before you vote.
* First four rounds are Best of Five. Sweet 16 onwards are Best of Seven
* If 24 hours (US Eastern Time) go by without a vote, the video in the currently in the lead for that match wins.

That multi-matches thing kind of lives and dies by how active the tourney runner is and didn't particularly promote activity from regular users because it dragged. So let's see how well Old School Tourney voting does with this one.

This is now an announcement. Also, i've tweaked the rules so you can vote again after three other people have voted instead of four.

My b Piper, but I forgot to change the link for Knives Out (at first had Single Ladies) and you stole Frontier Psychiatrist from me and I left that link in for The Wand. My post now has the correct links.

I was actually working on my three picks for a couple minutes. We probably posted at like the same time.

I wasn't going to add the video links for a while anyway (because i'm going to go through them for ineligible videos before we start)

I'm not really sure what I want to nominate, but I'll pick two right now that are obvious, but must be in this tournament. As predictable as these are as choices, the results won't seem legitimate without them.

So...

Michael Jackson - Thriller (dir: John Landis) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOnqjkJTMaA&ob=av3e
Nine Inch Nails - Closer (dir: Mark Romanek) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTFwQP86BRs&ob=av2n

I'll think of my third one later.

Edit: Thought of it. One of my favorite parodies:
