Music Videos Filmed & Performed on a Trailer Flatbed



Inspired by St. Vincent's music video for "Daddy's Home" - filmed on the back of a flatbed truck - used as a makeshift stage, I'd wanted to showcase a line-up of performers and songs filmed on the back of flatbed trucks!

Here are a couple which popped immediately into mind, and a couple after a longer-than-expected time searching online and on YouTube, on a Saturday night, cheers. If I am missing anyone else, lemme know in this comments section, or tweet at me @toysrevil, thanks! And if suitable, I'll add to this blog-feature :)



ABOVE: "All Is Not Lost" by OK Go, filmed as part of "An NPR Tiny Desk Concert", which essentially celebrated the actual physical move of "Tiny Desk" from NPR's old headquarters to a new facility just north of the U.S. Capitol, in 2013.



"Sky Started Crying" by WHITE WIVES, 2011.




"A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton, 2000.




Above: "All Because Of You" by U2, from their album "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb". "All Because Of You" was filmed in New York City in November 2004 and features the band playing aboard a flat bed truck riding through Manhattan.



Above: "Big Time Sensuality" by Björk, performed and filmed atop a flatbed truck in Manhattan, 1993, and was the music video used, directed by Stéphane Sednaoui, who according to timeout.com, "had a flash of inspiration during a cab ride."
