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 time around we're got U2's Get On Your Boots (but with more cowbell!), '60s pop, G-Funk covers, nose flute classical and more. Oh, and a beatboxing cook...

U2's Get On Your Boots with xylophone and MORE COWBELL!

Here's The Wrecking covering the new U2 single. Good job. In fact, it's even better than the real thing. Michael Leonard

Check this time lapse video of tourists being Beatles on Abbey Road. At the time of writing, a video of tourists recreating the sleeve from Red Hot Chili Pepper's The Abbey Road EP has not been filmed. Mike Goldsmith

The Ting Tings vs Estelle at the Brits

A seriously banal Brit Awards ceremony was enlivened by this live mash-up, which featured The Ting Tings' Shut Up And Let Me Go and That's Not My Name and Estelle's American Boy. It probably wasn't to everyone's taste, but at least this was a one-off: most of the other acts gave performances that we've seen a hundred times before. Ben Rogerson

Dell and Jay play Beethoven on their nose flutes

Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 incorporates part of the poem An die Freude (Ode To Joy) in the last movement. When first presented, it revolutionized music, using the human voice on the same level as instruments. In this clip, Dell and Jay, who appear to be father and son, perform Ode To Joy on nose flutes. Male bonding doesn't get any better than this. Joe Bosso
