Stone Temple Pilots: Sour Girl (2000)

The video for "Sour Girl" is just weird. Weiland became a Buffy fan and got Sarah Michelle Gellar to appear in the video, which also featured satanic teletubbies. Very strange!

Adele: Set Fire to the Rain (2012)

This is #1 this week. I'd estimate the odds of it ending up in a TV show like Grey's Anatomy or such at about 99%.

It reminds me of this from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

R.E.M.: Everybody Hurts (1993)

"Everybody Hurts" was written for teenagers. Peter Buck claimed that "I've never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer but the idea that high school is a portal to hell seems pretty realistic to me." The video has the band trapped in a traffic jam on the I-10 near San Antonio. The people portrayed in the video have their thoughts appear on screen using subtitles.
