Literal music videos are still fun and a valid creative direction, e.g., Vance Joy's "Riptide": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ_1HMAGb4k

The thing about art is that literally everything is a "valid creative direction." But that doesnt make everything immune from derision.
I don’t understand what your point is.
The point is that, at least presently, an algorithm lacks the creativity to meaningfully stimulate an intellectual person, and whatever excuse you give for the decisions that algorithm makes, you should never expect a human being to be more impressed with the algorithm than they are with their human peers.

Or, in the opposite direction, with literal lyrics to match the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMmXCyrV_WQ&list=RDXMmXCyrV_...
That’s neat. It especially works because the words are a little bit nonsensical, so interpreting them literally becomes unexpected.
Come on, that video is on another level. "All my friends are turning green" (shot of $1 bills), "she's been living on the highest shelf" (woman standing on Juliet balcony), "they come unstuck" (someone pulling twin pole popsicle apart)
For contrast these have "ice cold" (shot of ice cubes), "got chucks on" (shot of shoes), "livin' it up in the city" (shot of city).
Those shots all matched the banality of Uptown Funk's lyrics.
The retired dragon(s) were honestly my favorite part simply because of how absurd they were.
Coincidence that both songs reference Michelle Pfeiffer or was that free connotation at work?
...
I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Free association?
Yeah.
That’s not really the same thing.
