I was pretty impressed with Kanye West's new music video which retells the anime classic, Akira, to the audio backdrop of Daft Punk's "Stronger." Kanye plays the part of Tetsuo, the emotionally unstable youth who is struggling to manage an increasing power that is out of his control.

The mashup works extremely well, though I would have loved to see Tetsuo's signature uncontrolled mutations instead of popular music's obligatory uncontrolled hot dancing woman.

80s music video plus campy robot costumes. Could you ask for more?

This dude can rock two guitars at the same time! There are a few more, but I'm a big fan of his interpretation of the Simpsons theme.

A really cool (but odd) music video I happened across on the internet archive.

It consists of a bunch of retro video footage of fake and real robots -- think worlds fair -- to which a chorus of "robot love, I love you" is sung by a pitch-tweaked child.
