Examples of Intertextuality in Music Videos Part 2

Film is not the only influence for music videos. TV, fashion and video games are other things artists base their music videos on. Examples of TV influence in music videos:

1. Beastie Boys - Sabotage (1994), which is basically a spoof cop show title sequence.
2. REM - Bad Day (2003), this is a news show parody.

Fashion in music video:

Catwalk references and supermodels have been included in a couple of music videos:

1. George Michael - Father Figure (1988)
2. George Michael - Freedom (1990)

Video game influence in music video:
This is to gain a wider audience by tapping into more younger people's taste. Examples of this:

1. Robbie Williams - Let Love Be Your Energy (2001)
2. Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit (2003)
3. Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Californication (1999)
