What do you think is the best short form music video?

We're talking concept, here. Not a performance video, because they are a dime a dozen. What I mean is something like the song "The Miracle" by Queen. Those little kids playing as Queen was an absolutely great idea. I love how the video captured at least 5 incarnations of Freddie Mercury, all portrayed by some English 11 year old boy.

I thought it was the mark of genius. Anyone else see any music videos that really have "knocked your socks off" so to speak. Not many have had such a great concept (IMO) and been able to be pulled off with such flair and accuracy. After all, the kid who plays Freddie Mercury runs around the set, similar to the older man he is portraying (Mercury).

And please, no screeds about how Freddie was too sick (AIDS) to make the complete video or how you think Michael Jackson's long form video of Thriller is the best. I already admit that is the best LONG form video. We're talking 4 to 5 minutes. This is all music genres, too.
