Favorite Videos that aren't "Thriller" #7 - "Learn to Fly"

Tweet

We are at #7 in my Favorite Videos that aren't "Thriller" series, meaning, "Thriller" set the bar very high, but some bands have done some creative, entertaining videos, and it's those that I celebrate here. At #7 is "Learn to Fly" by Foo Fighters. I've used "Learn to Fly" in another countdown, but that discussion talked about the song itself, not from a video standpoint. And the video, directed by Jesse Peretz, is one of those creative, fun videos. It won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Video. The video itself is set on board a commercial airliner, with the band playing, in addition to themselves, multiple characters (Jack Black and fellow Tenacious D band member Kyle Gass appear as a pair of drug smuggling mechanics.) "Learn to Fly" is a very clever video that I've always found entertaining and quite funny. A creative video befitting such a great tune. Enjoy! (Info verified by Wikipedia)
