Visually Ironic Songs (1 Viewer)

Ok, so I can't come up with a good title for what I'm looking for. Basically I'm looking for relatively happy songs that have a sinister or ironic undertone when played over a horrible image.

Sort of like what Michael Moore did with What a Wonderful World in Bowling for Columbine.

Follow instructions carefully;

YouTube - Flu Shot Disabled Beautiful Cheerleader - ( Dystonia Disorder)

Mute this video and pause it at 0:17

YouTube - Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walking (1966)

Have this video with the sound on and paused at 0:27

Now press play on the Nancy Sinatra one and then press play on the other one which should still be muted.

I'm testing how your one works now Acrtopus.

For others, I don't necessarily need the visuals, just the name of the song that you think would have this effect.

Pretty much watch the news story with the music in the background; "These boots were made for walking" playing whilst she is trying to walk. makes me lol.

You mean like that scene in The Strangers where the lady puts a record on and this really nice happy music starts playing while there is the creepy guy with the mask over his face looming in the dark behind her?

Yeah, I got it. There's something earily sisnister about it as well, because of the irony. That's the effect I'm trying to achieve.

Sort of. Music which is generally at first glance, though becomes more darker when combined with the image. It's difficult to explan. Arctopus's is a good example.

Anyone else? I thinking along the lines of 80's synthpop...
