Every Friday, the MusicRadar team submits its own personal favourite music videos and clips on the net.

Some clips we really like, others are simply comedy classics or oddly intriguing. But all are well worthy of your eyeballs.

This week we've unearthed a classic live clip: The King, The Godfather and The Prince all on one stage, at the same time. No, we couldn't believe it either.


Chris Knox – Not Given Lightly

The sad news that New Zealand lo-fi pop legend Chris Knox has suffered a stroke is tragic enough. However it's especially ironic given the current heightened interest in Flying Nun (Knox's old label) from hip blogs covering such new Flying Nun-influenced indie acts as Eat Skull, Times New Viking and anyone else on the rather fine Siltbreeze label.

In no way a memorial but just a reminder of how much this man deserves your attention (ill or otherwise), we present one of Knox's finest tunes – a pure, heartfelt pop song that, bizarrely, was once voted New Zealand's thirteenth best song of all time. And if you think this song's good, check this one from his old band Tall Dwarfs.

Interested parties should go to the brilliantly named 'Chris Knox had a stroke and everyone wants to know how he is, how the hell are we gonna keep you all updated all at once' blog set up by Chris's friends and family. Mike Goldsmith


Foo Fighters cover You're So Vain

For some reason, Carly Simon's original is my seven-year-old daughter's current favorite song and she makes up her own inventive lyrics ("cows in my toffee, cows in my toffee"). But Dave Grohl and co kick a donkey's ass on this wonderfully unironic version. And check out Taylor Hawkins owning his drums. The guy uses three ride cymbals instead of crashes - and sounds supreme. A great song spans decades. Joe Bosso
