Cars In Music Videos

[Warhavernet]

Watching the Don't You Want Me Baby video by [ the] Human League I'd forgot
the part played by the iconic Rover SD1, which must have boosted sales of the
single, and the car, well maybe.

Any other cars that appear in music vidoes ?

Misunderstanding- Genesis
Don’t Get Me Wrong- Pretenders
Should I Stay Or Should I Go - Clash
The Power - Dionne Warwick, Jeffrey Osbourne


The trouble with putting what is seen at the time ‘a current cool car’ in the video it can make the video look real naff years later.
Check out the Pretenders ‘Don’t Get Me Wrong’ being a case in point.

Caterham R500

There's a lovely Austin Healey in Tears For Fears' Everybody Wants To Rule The World video.
Limp Bizkit's Rollin' video features a Bentley Azure.

Just two off the top of my head.

Zz top the eliminator trio of videos ?surely the most famous car in music videos ?

The Mad Max tribute video for Puretone's Addicted To Bass is a good candidate.

Jamiroquai obviously going to be on the list a couple of times.

Rob Zombie's Dragula does use the car from The Munsters... but it's the Munster Koach, not the Dragula (presumably because not everyone could fit in it for the purpose of the video if they did, as it's a single seater)

Mangusta in Can't Get You Out of My Head (which I initially misremembered as an Espada - was it another video with an Espada in?)

If you Google "cars in music videos", the Eliminator comes up as a pic in the AI overview. So yeah it probably wins!

David Coverdale was obviously a bit of a Jag fan


and again briefly in this one at about 1.47

How about the Lamborghini Diablo SE30 used in Jamiroquai's "Cosmic Girl" video that had its windscreen smashed by a falling camera during filming. Due to tight timescales, the video shoot continued without the car's windscreen, which is why the car appears without a front window in several shots

There's a Yugo GV (and a Humvee) in Metallica's he Day That Never Comes vid:



And a Camaro in their Mission Impossible themed vid for I Disappear



Blink-182 bought a 1985 Dodge van for their The Rock Show vid, which was later "found" & restored:



Can't find the full vid, but a S3 Jag XJ-6 features in The Prodigy's Smack My B1tch Up.

This always makes me laugh:



One True Voice (the boyband rival to Girls Aloud from Popstars: The Rivals) take a then-new E65 BMW for a low-speed joyride around a car park for some reason in the inexplicably awful video for their Bee Gees cover, Sacred Trust.

[Super Sonic]

OMD's 'Souvenier' has a Karmann Ghia.

Kylie

[Getragdogleg]

Stylo by Gorillaz.

Its got a Camaro and an El Camino in it, and Bruce Willis and the Camaro turns into a shark submarine.
