10 Songs That Have More Than One Music Video

9. Cornflake Girl - Tori Amos

In a box of breakfast cereal, the ratio of cornflakes to raisins is typically weighted more heavily towards the former. Therefore, it is easier to find a cornflake than a raisin, making the raisins more valuable.

Apply this analogy to people, and you have the basis for this 1994 hit.

Cornflake Girl remains one of Tori Amos' biggest ever tunes and was her first song to crack the top ten in the UK. Maybe that's why the American singer decided to make two separate videos for the track - one for the US and one for the British crowd.

The UK version is said to have been inspired by The Wizard of Oz, except in this version Dorothy lands in Hell instead of Munchkinland. This is reflected in the omnious black and white imagery of houses twirling around in the sky.

In America, they got a version that saw Amos driving around a truck full of women in the desert, but not in a people trafficking kind of way. At least, we hope not...

Both videos are mad, which is hardly surprising from a woman who chose to release a song with the word "cornflake" in the title.
