This music video is by B.O.B Ft Bruno Mars called "Nothin On You". In this music video, it introduces new meaning without contradicting the lyrics and adds new layers of meaning.

This music video is by Arctic Monkeys called "Brainstorm". The lyrics do not portray what is shown in the video. In the video, there are many scenes shown of black and white images of a man, many women dancing, and some images of the band. The lyrics do not match the video as they have nothing in common. The lyrics does not really have a meaning to it, which may link to the video as it also does not have a meaning to it.

This music video is by Lily Allen called "Smile". In this music video, the audience can see that a story is being told by the lyrics and the video as they both link very well together. The video is about Lily Allen who is dating her boyfriend, but he cheated on her and she wants to see him suffer. The story is told well, through both aspects and this makes it very easy for the audience to see what is happening.
