The Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video was first presented to Duran Duran's
Hungry Like the Wolf in 1984. Since then the award has gone to videos of varying quality; from
Paula Abdul dancing with an animated cat to last year's winner, Lady Gaga's
Bad Romance. Other notable recipients include Michael and Janet Jackson's
Scream, Korn's
Freak On A Leash, the David Fincher directed video for
Love Is Strong by The Rolling Stones and Johnny Cash's take on Nine Inch Nails (see
my post on cover songs.) This year's nominated music videos range from the surreal (Memory Tapes) to the silly (Weird Al) to the surprising (Radiohead.) Watch each vid below and judge for yourself who should take home the golden gramophone.
