Best song + video combo?

.

You know how some great songs can come with shitty music videos and how some great music videos feature shitty songs? Well, once in a blue moon you get those really great combos where both song and video are excellent. What, in your opinion, is the best example of that?

I'd probably say Björk's "All Is Full of Love" followed by Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy" in second place.

a-Ha "take on me"

a-Ha "Lifelines"

Duran Duran "Someone else not me"

Beatles "Free as a Bird"

Britney Spears "Toxic" (yes Britney, even Billy Joel liked this one)

Queen "the Show must go on" (even though a montage it still affects me)

Those are great examples! I'd throw in that one NIN video that Romanek directed and voila! - a perfect list.
