There's that Interpol one for "Evil," which is pretty much the creepiest thing ever, mostly because the puppet's mouth.

I guess the 'Crooked Teeth' DCFC isn't really puppets - they're cardboard cutouts. But that is a good video.
(And actually, I think maybe they're not even cardboard... that might be all digital? Can we get a ruling on this?)

I'm too am frightened of the Interpol Puppet.
Of course, a classic is Sifl and Ollie doing "United States of Whatever".
And of course, it might not be a music video, but I do love the Angel episode where Angel turns into a puppet.
(I would embed youtube video but I still have no idea how to do that without the little "youtube" button).
(Oh yeah, sorry about all the edits, but I had to fix my links. Pretty sad for someone who used to code for a living).

Puppets scare me. And I hate that Interpol video and wish it never existed. Why did the band ever approve that piece of crap?

What about Architecture in Helsinki's "Heart it Races"? Those are puppets - right?

oh man!!! I wish I had caught this thread earlier, cause I just had a puppet built for me by one of the guys working for the US tour of Avenue Q (one of the most hilarious and inventive musicals I've ever seen) and my whole reason behind buying one was to one day, yes, record a music video with him... er... "it".
oh, and:
onetwothreefour, onetwothreefour: rock facts rock facts ROCK FACTS!
sorry, I thought I saw a Sifl and Olly reference up there somewhere...

if you haven't seen the horribly horribly adorable video for "you are my joy" by the reindeer section (scottish supergroup featuring members of snow patrol/mogway/belle&sebastion/arab strap/teenage fanclub, and others)... well, you're just missing out on a cute puppet video...

thank goodness! I was searching for this video with really tall puppets for like an hour, I couldn't remember the artist/song. Then I found it on here - the Supergrass video. awesome.
but I would like to say Steriogram has a good video - Walkie Talkie Man. it might not be a puppet though. might be stop-motion or something. Anyway, thanks for saving me from going insane trying to find this video

Yeah, that Saves The Day song from one of their later (sucky) records... Freakish? Was that it?
