19 Movie Tie-In Music Videos That Are Surprisingly Nostalgic And You Totally Forgot About (2024)

If you want to see how Samuel L. Jackson got fed up with motherf*cking snakes on a motherf*cking plane, then the music video tie-in is a must-watch. The video features Travie McCoy, Cobra Starship, Maja Ivarsson, and William Beckett.

The group of artists sneak the snakes onto the plane, and Jackson himself makes a cameo.

After the very popular release of Will Smith's "Men in Black," the sequel received a music video. It's less recognized than its predecessor, but it still has that Smith style everyone loved.

"Let me see ya nod ya head like this." *nods my head like that*

There are two music videos for this Grammy-winning song, but it's hard to argue against Seal singing alongside the Bat Signal. This music video tie-in forBatman Forever might be overlooked because the song was so popular, but it's hard to forget once you see it.

All that was missing was Seal in the bat suit.

How did we get here? Paramore was huge in the 2000s, so you had tolive under a rock if you missed out onTwilightor "Misery Business" fever."

It was probably the biggest movie tie-in music video of the 2000s when it was released in 2008.

"Partyman" is the first song I think of when I think of Prince's movie tie-in album for Batman (1989). I completely forgot "Batdance." Watching it honestly feels like a fever dream.

If dancing Jokers are what you want, this music video delivers.

Rick Ross is on a boat with Jared Leto's Joker. What the hell am I looking at?

Get "dub-steppin'" into one of the weirdest music videos in 2016 that's a tie-in to Suicide Squad. On the entertainment scale, I give it 10/10 Jared Letos.

The critically panned adaption of Godzilla in 1998 actually had a soundtrack with some bangers on it. With the likes of Green Day and Foo Fighters, the one that got a music video was The Wallflowers' cover of the David Bowie song "Heroes."

Godzilla makes several appearances, including some typical building-wrecking

Celine Dion blew everyone away with "My Heart Will Go On," so it was only right that the goofy superhero franchise Deadpool requested her talents for Deadpool 2.

The result is a ridiculous music video with a song that takes itself so seriously that it will have you holding your stomach laughing.

If you haven't seen Deep Blue Sea, I can assure you LL Cool J's music video tie-in is tame by comparison.

This entry on this list is fascinating because it is one of the only music videos I can recall where the artist plays a character in the movie and performs the song. If you have a fear of sharks or sick rhymes, tread carefully.

MC Hammer has met his match in this music video of him exploring the Addams Family house. The 1993 movie had a fun cast, so it makes sense that MC Hammer created a groove appropriate for the bizarre family.

Where some music video tie-ins just have film footage, it is cool to see members of the family grooving alongside MC Hammer.

What a trio! I've always thought The Three Musketeers film in 1993 walked so that comedy action flicks like Pirates of the Caribbean and Guardians of the Galaxy could run.

As for the music video, it has nothing to do with the film, but you do get to watch three very talented singers.

Bobby Brown had the impossible task of following up "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr. Ghostbusters II may have failed to live up to the hype, but it delivered another fun jam.

Be warned, you'll find grotesque ghouls making cameos in the music videos.

The Goonies was huge in 1985, and so was Cyndi Lauper. If you're a fan of either, you probably fell in love with this music video. You can tell Lauper had too much fun filming this.

Also, if you're a pro wrestling fan, there are plenty of cameos of WWE superstars dressed as pirates.

In 1991, the highly anticipated sequel to Terminator was released. Guns 'N Roses released the "You Could Be Mine" music video tie-in, which seemed like any other concert music video.

In the end, we get a confrontation between the T-1000 and the band members in a moment that seems like the most unlikely crossover.

In 2002, audiences didn't understand what they were getting with the Scooby-Doo movie that seemed ahead of its time. One thing people did understand was Outkast, who seemed unanimously adored by music lovers.

"Land of a Million Drums" gave us members of the Scooby-Doo cast interacting with Outkast, which seems like an alternate reality we all wish was real.

For those who like Reggae Rock, you probably know some P.O.D. songs. Still, I was surprised to see P.O.D. listed onThe Matrix Reloadedsoundtrack.

The music video feels perfect for the world of the Matrix while, at the same time, being a typical 2000s rock music video.

If we're talking about just music videos and not the songs, Madonna's tie-in music video for the Austin Powers sequel has to take the cake. It is a story exclusively for the music video and not just flashes from the film.

The crossover of seeing Madonna next to Austin Powers feels ridiculous but somehow appropriate. Madonna's presence and Austin Powers' comedy go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
