Just like when you watch early cinema, you can see that they were innovating in music videos shortly after the launch of MTV. With famed comic book artist Michael Kaluta at the helm, they used cel animation, stop-motion, and claymation to create the video. It’s a nice throwback to the Old Hollywood days of Humphrey Bogart and Dick Tracy complete with a reference to A Trip To The Moon (1902).

By the way, thanks Lisa for the encouragement to not throw out this idea to spotlight a music video from time to time this morning.
