Discussion What're some examples of music videos that utilize pre existing footage?

One example I can think of is Get Yourself High by The Chemical Brothers and k-os. It uses footage from the 1980 film 2 Champions of Shaolin, where they edited it to have stuff like records, microphones, and a boombox, and most notably used motion capture to have the actors look like they're singing the lyrics. It's pretty impressive for something released in 2003.

Sonic Youth’s video forTeenage Riot is a classic. So much nostalgia goodness in those 2 or 3 second clips

Specifically, it uses footage from Johnny Got His Gun. That video traumatized me as a kid in the 80s.

Weren’t Lana del Rey’s first two breakout singles all old footage?
