What's your favorite TV romance music video?

Categories: Television

1508__prison_lAdmit it: You’ve watched a YouTube music video of your favorite TV couple. No, it’s okay. We have, too. It’s only embarrassing if you keep it locked up inside!

My first so-cheesy-it’s-good video was a Jim and Pam one I caught over the summer. I thought ”Oh, fun, what a good idea” and then forgot about it. But a not very extensive search this afternoon indicates there are MILLIONS of others, and more than one set to the most desperate-sounding of Coldplay songs.

There’s a slew of Kate and Sawyer from Lost, Meredith and Derek (I refuse to use the term ”McDreamy”) from Grey’s, Chloe and Clark from Smallville — even Benji and Donyelle from So You Think You Can Keep Your Face Animated For Three Months Straight?

Our favorite today is of Prison Break’s Michael and Sara,set to ”I Love You Always Forever” by Donna Lewis. I especiallyappreciate the light pink script informing us of the song choice andgeneral theme, ”I love you.” If you’ve never seen Prison Breakbut feel like you should based on how you keep hearing about how hotthis Wentworth Miller (pictured) is, videos like this one are highlyrecommended. There’s also one set to Sarah McLachlan’s ”Building aMystery.” And Madonna’s ”Crazy for You,” and Backstreet Boys”’Crawling Back to You”… and, I’m getting dizzy.

Yes, the videos are amateurish, but they’re so well-intentioned andmore palatable than most of the crap videos on MTV these days.Actually, I’m pretty sure the main reason I’m delighted by the TV musicvids is because I love thinking of these incredibly sappy songsrandomly blasting out of people’s cubes at work. Someone could easilywalk by, make a face, and say ”Wow, Annie, cool. Lifehouse.”

C’mon, ‘fess up.

    Lifehouse rules.

  • Stephanie

    The video with The Fray for Grey’s Anatomy was cool, but it was not romantic.

  • Luis

    For all those Veronica Mars Fans out there, the best video is one of Veronica and Logan set to the music of Sia’s “Breathe Me” aka..the song used in the very last episode of Six Feet Under. Totally Amazing!

  • Josh

    Too bad youtube’s new filtering technique that CBS will be testing first is going to make this an extinct art(?)form.

  • More Jim and Pam vids

    Check out the batch of Jim/Pam vids over at OfficeTally! :)

  • Kane

    THis one is my FAVORITE LOST one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEpKMqICZgE&eurl=

  • Ed

    There are tons of them for Sex and the City – cheesy.
    I second what Josh said, CBS is going to ruin YouTube. But if I were the creators, I would sell out too for billion bucks.

  • Josh

    Google actually bought youtube, just CBS is the first “partner” to try its new search method that will allow CBS to either take down the clip or add an advertisement. So depending on how zealous they are about copyrights, if this search method works, all videos using clips from shows might all of a sudden be gone, just like that. Enjoy them while you can people.

  • Quentin-Alexandre

    Yeah, Lifehouse kills, and it was even mentioned in the series finale for Six Feet Under. Meta.
    Anyway, the best you tube video? LoVe : Logan & Veronica Mars, to the tune of Sway, by the perishers. That’s right, Veronica Mars all the way. There’s just one Lifehouse tune away from Tv heaven…

  • G

    There was a great video of Clark and Lana set to NSYC’s “Falling”

  • Maggie

    ALL the Logan and Veronica ones. No one but Tanner Stransky isn’t rooting for those crazy kids.

  • Vivi

    Liked the Benjelle (Benji and Donyelle) video but there are a SLEW of others that you need to watch. Some a little better than this one.
    Anywho, thanks for just mentioning Benjelle. Luv them!

    MagicalThreeTV on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=magicalthreetv) makes some of the most impressive trailers for certain Ron/Hermione fanfictions. (Me? Geek? Why yes.)

    Last summer, I discovered Veronica Mars. I saw the repeats for season 2. I tried to find clips for season 1. I was also looking for videos the Office. Both were buried under a mountain of scored love videos. These two shows have the best dialogue on TV. It would have been better to see the original scenes than watch the actors lips move to a sappy emo band.

    Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert: http://youtube.com/watch?v=h7O4S76LCCU

  • Jyoti

    One of my favorite youtube montages isn’t even a couple. It’s the Brothers Winchester from Supernatural. Anyone who watches the show will get how perfectly the music fits the scenes and how great this montage is overall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APF1pvg_RxE

  • Maya

    lots of olivia and elliot from svu and a hilarious one of olivia and alex
    speaking of svu someone at ew needs to put that on tv watch really

  • Linda

    There are a ton on soap opera people too. Sonny and Brenda from General Hospital, Tangie from One Life to Live and Nick/Phyllis from Y&R

  • anita

    I second the poster that says there are alot of good videos for Sonny/Brenda, Todd/Vangie and Nick/Phyllis from the soap world.
    My favorite right now is the history of Nick and Phyllis by Oceanview.

  • Dave

    The other day I definitely watched clips from the movie Latter Days set to some Lindsay Lohan song. Wow, I can’t believe I just admitted that. I either need to start drinking or start therapy. Or both.

  • Alicia

    Lifehouse makes me want to kill myself.

  • mark

    Everyone!! Please answer me if you can! I used to love to watch videos from youtube all the time but then once my whole comp got ruined from a virus and I honestly and almost definitely think it was from something I watched (happened to be a Pam & Jim video)…Does everyone think they r safe? Is it ok to go back and watch again?

  • Christina

    I love watching Chloe and Clark videos they are my faviorte.. They have the best chemistry.. They really need to get those two together and soon.

  • Chloe fan

    Also, loved the video with The Fray for Grey’s.

  • ChibiHoshi

    Though I adore the Chlark I will have to say the BEST vidder (romance or not) is Becky. I just wish she did more than Lex and Chlex oriented vids; I would be in heaven.
    tired-eye.net
    You will be amazed.

  • Monica_O

    I checked every video you recommended and I have to say.. I love Chlark :D .
    This ship has some of the best videomakers, not only in youtube but in several Smallville forums.
    The work done in this ship is a work of love, and it shows :) .

  • DC

    Chlark vids are my favorite, too. Some talented editors really capture the intricate dynamic of love and friendship between them. My picks:

    Happy Watching!

  • Chloe

    Yeah, so no one will probably know the couple I’m talking about, but who cares. I love Sheppard/Weir (Stargate Atlantis) videos.
    This one, my favorite.
