25 Best Music Videos: 13
13. Learn To Fly
Foo Fighters
For a guy who was in a band whose lead singer blew his head off, Dave Grohl sure is one goofy guy. Take the video for "Everlong," which has silly parodies of both "Nightmare on Elm Street" and the Evil Dead films. Also take this video (PLEASE /rimshot)
Airline cleaners (played by Jack Black and Kyle Gass, whose suits have "Kage" and "Jables" embroidered on them, natch) accidentally leave a huge pound of some drug (guessing hash) in the coffee pot and causes almost the entire plane, crew and passengers, to hallucinate like crazy. As the pilots begin breaking down and the passengers turn into animals, its up to the only people who didn't have coffee (the band, of course) to land the plane safely.
It's a crazy little music video filled with fun visuals and an insane amount of characters played by the Foo Fighters themselves, including Dave Grohl playing an effeminate flight steward and a pre-teen girl, and drummer Taylor Hawkins playing a weirdly attractive stewardess (marking the second time in a video where Hawkins plays a woman, first playing Grohl's girlfriend in the "Everlong").
