Ann Peebles is too great for mere words.
I Can't Stand the Rain - Ann Peebles (1974)

Look at you foolin you...
Running Away - Sly and the Family Stone (1971)

Love the Bruce Lee doll that materializes out of nowhere!
I'm the Man - Joe Jackson (circa 1978)

Video footage is from the silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920).
Danger - Pylon (1980)

About time for another Black Swan event, isn't it? I used this song in my "Black Swan" post titled It should be obvious, but it's not (from the lyrics).
