Lyrics/Video Mismatch | comment |
This describes the situation where a Music Video follows a distinct conceptual narrative — but it's a narrative which has absolutely nothing to do with the song's lyrics or theme nor with the band's overall image, save (perhaps) only the thinnest of connections. Typically, no justification of the concept (such as All Just a Dream) is ever attempted. Many videos which qualify as homages might fit into this category. If taken too far, you can end up with a Surreal Music Video. Sometimes this results in Music Video Overshadowing. |

Tracy Lawrence had nine music videos in the 1990's that connected themselves with a time travel plot, with Lawrence hopping out of/into an electrified portal at the start and end of each video. The videos were often only tangentially related to the song they were made for. Some standouts include: "If the Good Die Young," which is a song about young rebellion with a video entirely about NASCAR. "As Any Fool Can See," about a man anticipating his wife will leave him, being set on a pirate ship and tavern "I See it Now," a You Never Did That for Me ballad when an Old Flame is seen with her new beau being set at a high school prom. "If the World Had a Front Porch," about how the world would be better if we all just talked to each other more, which has a video that deals primarily with an IT team fixing issues with the virtual reality greenscreen background behind the set piece Lawrence is standing on. "Is That a Tear," about a man trying to interpret if his Old Flame is still in love with him after listening to a phone message, has Lawrence as a taxi driver who gets into a high speed chase with the feds for reasons never explained. |

Yellowcard: "Hang you up" is a wistful song about a former relationship. The video is about Ryan Key working at a fast food joint. "One Bedroom" has a video about children being abducted and forced to become Child Soldiers, which is an odd choice for a love song. |

Melanie Martinez song "Tag, You're It" is about the main character's pursuit and violent kidnapping. In the video, she goes about her day, watched by the kidnapper until she eats some of his drugged ice cream after shopping. This mismatch is fairly jaring, since Melanie is heavily involved in her own songs and videos, making the differences a conscious choice. | |

"Learn To Fly" is an introspective song about spirituality and coming home, while the video is a bizarre Airplane! reference in which Tenacious D guest stars and several band members appear in drag that was inspired by a then-recent event where someone was trying to smuggle cocaine by stashing in the nose of a commercial jet. | |

Imagine Dragons: In "Radioactive," the singer experiences empowerment after "the apocalypse" causes him to awaken in "a new age." In the music video, a young woman rescues Imagine Dragons from Lou Diamond Phillips, by sending her teddy bear to slay a puppet monster. It still delivers themes of empowerment, just not in a way that takes the song's lyrics literally. The band commented that they felt that showing an actual post-apocalyptic setting and interpreting the lyrics literally wouldn't have worked out well. "On Top of the World" details the nervousness of declaring love for someone. The music video sends the band to The '60s to televise a staged moon landing. |

This trope may have been the reason why Canadian rock band Rusty's reputation suffered poorly in the late 90s. "Misogyny" is a song that deals with spousal abuse, and how women keep going back to their abusers, even after the latter apologizes and swears to be more respectful. The music video mixes performance footage with a mid-90s Sunset Boulevard-ripoff/softcore drama called "Hustler White", where a journalist goes to Los Angeles and becomes infatuated with a male prostitute. The confusing music video led to accusations that the band was gay, which would haunt them until their dissolution several years later. | |

Taking Back Sunday's "Faith: When I Let You Down" is about Adam telling his friend not to lose faith in him no matter what. The video tells the story of an anthropomorphic cat called the OMGWTFTBS Cat who abandons Taking Back Sunday for fame in Hollywood. He gets famous, parties really hard, pretends Taking Back Sunday don't exist, his career crashes, he gets overshadowed by a non-anthropomorphic cat, and he finally returns home to his friends, Taking Back Sunday. | |

"Dinosaur" features a message about the destruction of humanity due to infighting and a breakdown in social order. The music video is a satire, apparently set in a prehistoric-era world where much of the entertainment revolves around "Caveman TV", a television station which features programs riffing off shows like America's Got Talent. The band members eventually decide to take on a group of humanoid-sized dinosaurs (or rather, people in brightly-colored dinosaur suits) before the world gets blown up by a meteor — the only direct relevance to the song, which is functionally a countdown to the end of the world. Except it's All Just a Dream, as the lead singer wakes up at a bar and shrugs when he sees one of the dinosaurs posing for pictures with someone. | |

Sabaton: The music video for The Lost Battalion— a song explicitly about a battle in the Argonne Forest on World War I's Western Front— depicts street fighting on the Eastern Front of World War II. Enforced for the video for "Primo Victoria", which depicts the band fighting a tank battle against German Army tanks in an Ace Custom post-WWII Centurion tank, set to a song about the D-Day invasion. The video was made thirteen years after the song as part of a cross-promotion with World of Tanks, begging the question of why they didn't use "Panzerkampf" (about the Battle of Kursk) instead. |

Marianas Trench. The videos for Ever After follow the plot of the album and the videos for Masterpiece Theatre make sense, but the Fix Me videos - while hilarious -are just plain weird given the context of the songs. "Say Anything", which is about self-harm and angst, depicts one band member selling the increasingly strange embarrassing secrets of the others to the press, "Decided to Break It" has the band training for some sort of athletic competition, and "Shake Tramp" (which is either about BDSM or an abusive relationship) has the lead singer hallucinating dancing really badly in what looks like Pleasantville. | |

The Linda Lindas: Their song "Talking To Myself" is about obsessive thoughts with a touch of Go Mad from the Isolation. The video was inspired by the "Living Doll" episode of The Twilight Zone (1959). Four dolls become sentient, and angry about being excluded from band practice take their anger out on the band members. The violence is played for laughs. | |

The Black Eyed Peas's "The APL Song" is a brief autobiographical account of apl.de.ap's early life and his subsequent visit to his home country. Though the music video did incorporate archive photos of Apl's life prior to joining the group, it had more to do with the tale of an elderly World War II veteran at a care home being visited by his family. Indeed, the music video was meant to shed light on the struggles veterans were facing, most especially the benefits they long since fought for considering their service to both America and the Philippines. | |

"Best Friend" is all about the singer vowing to be a true friend to the listener, who will support and comfort them no matter how bad things get. The video is about a crazy cannibal supermodel devouring her fellow models to appropriate their best traits and make herself look better. And then she gets a Karmic Death when she partially barfs up her last victim's dress on the runway, and chokes to death. | |

Foo Fighters: "Everlong" is a heartfelt love song... with a Surreal Music Video where the sparse romantic elements are Played for Laughs. Likewise, the video for "Big Me" is an Affectionate Parody of Mentos commercials out of a tender ballad. "Learn To Fly" is an introspective song about spirituality and coming home, while the video is a bizarre Airplane! reference in which Tenacious D guest stars and several band members appear in drag that was inspired by a then-recent event where someone was trying to smuggle cocaine by stashing in the nose of a commercial jet. |

Gin Wigmore's "New Rush" was a song about how her new lover (her eventual husband) revitalized her life. The music video has her escaping pursuit from an arrow-shooting man. | |

Noah: "Bintang di Surga" is about wishing for something beautiful that the singer can't have. The music video and its remake, on the other hand, is about a hostage situation. Ariel outright says that the director for "Mendekati Lugu" video didn't try too much to describe the lyrics with the video. It shows; the video focuses on characters dancing and nearly drowning while wacky visuals happen instead of the Love Makes You Stupid theme. |

The lyrics for Auryn's "Make My Day" seem to be about the guys attempting to tell the girl they like about their feelings. The music video takes place in a dystopian world a la Mad Max, in which the water is so scarce that stealing it has replaced murder as the worst crime (as explained in the intro); and they play five mercenaries chasing a water thief. | |

Jellyfish, "Baby's Coming Back". The song is about a man whose wild lifestyle has driven his girlfriend away, seemingly more than once. When he finds out his girlfriend is willing to give him another chance, he resolves to put his life in order. The video, which was animated by Hanna-Barbera, has a cartoon version of the band on the run from a giant baby, before becoming live action themselves. | |

Gotye, "State of the Art". The song is about a family's purchase of a top-of-the-line electronic piano. The video starts with that, only for the piano to turn out to be possessed, expand into an enormous pipe organ, convert the terrified human family into singing robotic pipes, and fly away into space. | |

"We're All To Blame" by Sum 41 is a song about war, greed, fear and the power of corporations, amongst other troubles happening in 2004. The music video decides to ignore all of that and instead focus on the band appearing on Solid Gold, complete with dancers and other wacky editing effects. | |

Iron Maiden's "Holy Smoke" calls out Corrupt Churches. The closest thing resembling this in the intentionally ridiculous video are shots of people dressed as priests. | |

Anthrax's video for "Nothing." The song is about a friendship (or relationship) falling apart; the video is just one long gag about the band's name (the band is seen playing the song under a microscope on the back of a cow, get it?). | |

BTS' music videos within the BTS Universe rarely are directly about the topic of the songs, though they do somewhat connect thematically to its respective album while sticking to the main story of the seven boys: "I NEED U" is about a relationship with a girl falling apart with the singer still desperately clinging to her, jumping back and forth between love and hate for her, while the video (which in its Original Version is the introduction of the BTS Universe as a whole) shows scenes of the boys suffering alone (through poverty, abuse, addiction, depression, suicide, and murder) intercut with scenes of them happy together. "RUN" is (as a mirror to "I NEED U") about a Destructive Romance where the singer can't fall out of love even though the relationship is doomed or already ending. In the video, we see the characters physically jumping back and forth between their moments of happiness and their dysfunctional present, seemingly losing sense of reality. "FAKE LOVE" is about a relationship that comes to a messy end because the singer can't stand hiding their true self and suffering from the other anymore. In the video, Jungkook goes through hallways in a mansion where each room has one of the other boys locked in, forced to face their fears and traumas. |

Dragonforce's "Operation Ground and Pound"... tentatively linked, in a general sense, but the song does not mention Starcraft-esque ships at all. Also, the guitar solo features Herman and Sam playing a fighting game on a TurboGrafx-16. | |
