A video which is meant to be released with a single from a CD, in which the artist appears and sings/plays the song while other events occur.

The music video for Lady Gaga's Telephone, Ke$ha's We R Who We R, and Britney Spears's Hold it Against Me all contain advertisements for plentyoffish.com

The term comes from most music videos that have romantic scenes. Many body parts are shown very briefly, yet nothing is revealed fully.

Jill: Hey, did you see Kim and Joe getting 'friendly' last night?

Example:
Hype Williams, X, Director Hugo V, Spike Jonez are a few examples of some of the most notable music video directors.

anime music video
A video clip made by editing many cut scenes from one or more animes fit to some catchy MP3 song. The song is an important choice - it's either in English or in Japanese and the AMV creator should be familiar with it's words to make the scenes match the song text. The scenes shouldn't contain any subtitles and be of good quality, as otherwise the creator's efforts are half wasted. Many newbies even forget to turn off the DIVX logo - especially annoying, when it appears on every cut.
The resulting music video is a self-contained story and can really entertain you if made properly - it's sometimes even better than the song's original live clip.
