MTV Top 100 Videos of 1993

A music video for Aerosmith's song "Cryin'".

The music video, directed by Samuel Bayer, stars Heather DeLoach as the "Bee Girl", a young tap dancer wearing a homemade bee costume and large glasses, modeled after the Blind Melon album's cover: a family picture of Georgia Graham, younger sister of drummer Glen Graham. The Bee Girl's story is inter-cut with footage of Blind Melon performing in a field against a clear blue sky. It opens on the girl's tap routine; the audience responds with laughter, and the girl runs off stage in tears. As the song plays, she wanders through a city, stopping to perform her dance for whoever will watch. Ultimately at the point in the song where the word "escape" is repeated - she peeks through a gate, astonished, then runs through it to join a group of "bee people" of all shapes and sizes dancing joyfully in a green field.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg perform in the music video "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" from the album "The Chronic" recorded for Death Row Records. The video opens as Dr. Dre picks up Snoop Doggy Dogg at his house. The two rap as they drive in an open top convertible and later as they stand around at a house party.

The music video was directed by René Elizondo, Jr. in March 1993. Set in a loft, Jackson is depicted amongst friends and is persuaded to play her new single. Jackson plays the song, briefly interrupted by a dancer who pauses it to express her approval. The song resumes while Jackson and company begin to dance, ending with Jackson talking and joking amongst her dancers. The video was choreographed by Tina Landon. To build anticipation, a promotional advertisement was aired on music channels for several weeks prior to the video's premiere, depicting Jackson narrating and introducing her dancers from behind a camera lens. The video is also infamous for introducing a then-unknown Jennifer Lopez, who appeared as a backing dancer and had a spoken line in the video's opening dialogue.

One of the greatest hit songs of the 1990's, Soul Asylum's clip not only presents one of the band's greatest hits but also works as a public service utility while working on theme of missing/runaway children. The video featured images of missing kids from that period and the month/year they were last seen. Along with those, there's images of the band performing the song and few scenes that portray possible real scenarios of many missing kids out there.

First promotional video for Spin Doctors hit "Two Princes".

The video is based on Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera. Bob Keane did Meat Loaf's make-up, which took up to two hours to apply. The make-up was designed to be simple and scary, yet "with the ability to make him sympathetic." It went over budget, and was filmed in 90 °F (32 °C) heat, across four days. According to one executive, it "probably had the budget of Four Weddings and a Funeral." It is the abridged seven-minute single version, rather than the twelve-minute album version. Michael Bay directed the music video.
