To our eyes, Björk hasn't quite got the hang of the TV sales game quite yet

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 worth watching. This week, we're following up YouTube #30's entry of a man playing Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor with glass bottles and roller-skates to bring you something even better: the Mario theme playing by glass bottles and an RC car.

Ben Rogerson's choices

Brian Eno rap
Lots of musicians have been influenced by Brian Eno, but surely only one has gone to the trouble of listing his many and varied achievements through the medium of rap. This is Spider Jaws' touching tribute to "the greatest man who ever lived". BR

Radio-controlled car plays Mario theme on beer bottles
Exactly as it sounds, but a written description can't do justice to the brilliance of this crazy musical stunt. Just ask yourself: how long did this take to set up? BR

Tom Porter's choices

Robot flautist nails Flight Of The Bumblebee
This hat-wearing box of wires has a contorting mouth and tongue, air-controlling lungs which mimic those of a human and a pair of eyes making duets a possibility for the future. Oh yeah, and it can play a note-perfect rendition of Flight Of The Bumblebee… TP

The Ting Tings cover The Gossip via Snap's I've Got The Power
Recorded for BBC Radio One's Live Lounge. I like this almost as much as Dizzee Rascal's cover of The Ting Tings' That's Not My Name: "They call me blood, they call me rudeboy, they call me oi, they call me mate." Amazing. TP

Mike Goldsmith's choices

Built To Spill: Paper Planes (live)
An easy win this week – the seemingly ill-advised cover version. No real reason except for the fact that when I saw Built To Spill perform 1997's still-gorgeous Perfect From Now On this week, the encore involved a cover of M.I.A.'s ubiquitous banger. Cue much gradual recognition, doubletaking and drunken acceptance. Doug Martsch's woozy guitar lines actually worked (really) and the sight of a bunch of US indie rock fans 'grooving' to a hipster anthem was never more sweet. Next up, Silver Jews cover Crystal Castles' Crimewave… MG
