10 Good Songs That Were Made AMAZING By Their Music Video

Most of the time, a song comes out that has just the right amount of sonic presence to it. Regardless of whether it appears in video form or not, nothing can take away from the sheer impact that these tunes have on everyone who listens to them. Though it's many artists' dream to create such a powerful composition, sometimes the song can get even better if it's pushed into the visual realm.

Throughout the years, songs have come come out which had originally done fine but paled in comparison to the success of the video. Whether it was through shock value, powerful imagery, or just memes, the visual accompaniment behind these songs were just what was needed to take them over the top.

Does that mean the song was mediocre if it wasn't for the video? No, not at all. Most of these songs are all-out jams, but the insane charisma generated in the video took it that one extra mile into something classic. Some of these clips are so good than many aren't able to separate the song from the actual video. Regardless of song merit, here are a few examples of the videos that gave their songs a new life.

From the time they were playing the rowdy clubs of New York, Twisted Sister were always known for their glamtastic look. Whenever you walked into one of their gigs, the band would rip you to shreds all while dressed to the 9's in the best neon and glittered threads they could find. While the music always kicked ass, the marriage between the look and the sound needed to come together in order for the band to truly explode.

When MTV was still in its infancy, Twisted Sister became darlings of the network thanks to their video for "We're Not Gonna Take It." On record, the song is a typical cry against authority, but the zany nature of the video really made the track. With the scenario of a rocker's father being thrown around like a cartoon character, the song became the unofficial theme song for any young kid who ever felt stepped on by their parents.

Since then, the video has become a great nostalgia trip for metalheads as well as a great gateway song for kids who are just getting acclimatized to the hard rock genre. Twisted Sister always had a great following, but their takeover was the perfect combination of looks and hooks.
