If you were the lead singer in a MTV video, you'd be:

I picked the Chicago bit, but I really am not sure that's the right one for me. Great survey!

It would depend on song and budget and everything else... I really don't know.

I'd shoot myself.

...extremely confused, because I have no musical talent whatsoever. :) But given a sudden influx of that, probably the Mars one. Though the zen garden idea is cool. :)

It would depend on what would work best with the particular song I was singing. I'm guessing that each of the responses represents an actual video, but I can't place most of them. I thought the Zen garden idea sounded really cool, so I checked that one.

Wow! What an odd survey! I have absolutely no idea what you're asking.

I like the zen garden one myself, although the songs I record tend to be more "rocking blues" style. I'd have to write a quiet song especially for the scene. Wait, "River, River" from Peter Gabriel! *** Actually most of these are from my own demented mind. They were inspired by: 1) Robert Palmer, 2) Wachusett Mt, 3) real life story, 4) Amadeus, 5) Orlando dinner show, 6) Gollum, 7) NASA, 8) Little Mermaid, 9) Pink Floyd, 10) Grue, 11) Horror movies, 12) 2001, 13) my own Japanese studies.

In an abandoned factory beating on metal junk with the rest of the band, with apologies to Einsturzende Neubauten.

Dreadfully embarassed I suppose.

Ooookaaay... I like Soundgarden's videos.

i'd be one of those singers who refuse to appear in videos except as a cartoon character.

Off camera. I can stand still photos (but only since working at Kodak). Video cameras make me run for cover.

would really depend on the song ... my best public performance was in a shopping mall! next was in the symphony hall ... I'd marked the outdoors one because that appealed to me ...and with a video you could get the right acoustics.

"What has it got in its pocketses, Precious?"

awash in static to make the vidiots think there'd something wrong with the boob tube. or I'd be in another band, having quit when they went behind my back and signed up to do a video. fudge mtv.

the Timid Forest Creature must return to the forest, though if I could bring a couple of those 18th Century women... :)

Embarassed?

Praying to not be in such situation...

Give me that Chicago jazz club :)

Jitterbugging with Frankie and Deano (computer images.. kind of like Forrest Gump)

bjork.

I need lots of them, 'cause my music roams around a lot. My goal for a while has been to write music that makes people who listen to it sway like underwater plants. I've done this a bit, so the more tranquil images, above, would count. You could do the Koyaanisqaatsi thing, too, though, and have hyper-accelerated cityscapes and things backed with very tranquil throbbing music, except that it's been done to death. So, I don't know. Something liek that, anyway. How about lying down in a zen garden having ripples raked around me? That sounds pleasant...

I wish I could pick more than one! *** Ha! lisashea actually confused milktree, the tables are turned (milktree the confusing one has been bested by lisashea!) Why is the approval rating for this survey so low, I liked it!

The grand canyon thing sounds cool.

I have no idea what music i'd be performing. (it would depend on the music) My musical tastes are greatly varied (little to no rap, and very little country). If I just had to have a background, it'd be clouds, heavy grey and raining (with thunder and lightning). it'd be beneath/around me, above would be a midnight blue and maybe a planet or a few small moons with stars glimpsed through the clouds. I'd be backed up by the standard trio(no particular style of garb comes to mind for me or them). **I just re-read my comment and realized part of it made no sense... the bit about my tastes being varied.. I like most everything, except rap, and a lot fo country.

What about flirted with by 18th century men and leather-clad biker women? I have a new ambition!
