Examples of Intertextuality in Music Videos

1. Queen - I Want To Break Free (1984), based on the housewife role
2. 2Pac - California Love (1996) is based on the 1979 film Mad Max
3. Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love (1986) is one of the most famous examples of referencing fashion photography. The video consists of mannequin style women with Palmer in a suit on a stage. A parody of it was Tone Loc - Wild Thing (1988) and it was copied on Shania Twain - Man I Feel Like A Woman (1999)
4. The front cover for Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc (2005) is based on Ghibli, which is basically a Japanese form of animation. The particular concept used is essentially a rock (in the middle of the sky) with houses/windmills or types of living.
