I really can't tell you why I've compiled a list of music videos featuring household chores over the last few years...but I did and Sade is the Queen. This has the least Hip Hop of any list I've made since forever.
1. Sade - "Babyfather" 2010 Sade's been making doing the dishes (and everything else) look superfly since pre-2010.
2. SZA - "Drew Barrymore" 2017 SZA is doing laundry in this video...or at least looking fly in front of some dryers. "Go Gina" is my favorite track from SZA's latest; in case you were wondering.
3. Old Man Saxon - "The Perils" 2016 In the video, Old Man Saxon portrays (maybe he does live in his car, many artists do) a man living in his car. I tried it, it's not that cool in a Subaru. In my opinion (as is the rest of this website), this is one of the best songs on the list.
4. Jehst - "Nuke Proof Suit" 2005 UK HIP HOP Jehst and his team truly went all out for this video. He released a new album in the last few weeks; you should probably check it out.
5. Sun Ho feat. Lady Saw - "Mr Bill" (Produced by Wyclef Jean) 2009 It's really too bad that this song is so lame because Sun Ho is killing the chore game.
6. Snakehips feat. Kaleem Taylor - "Forever (Pt. II)" 2015 You'd never catch me listening to this song but the video is awesome.
6. Grimes - "California" 2016 I'm an unofficial member of the Grimes fan club for life even if her music isn't doing it for me lately. She's taking care of the sweeping in the art studio herself; that's classy.
7. Reva DeVito - "Deeper" 2016 Catch Reva's Portland crew doing mannequin challenge type stuff then doing the dishes in this pro-cassette music video from last year.
8. Damian Marley - "Welcome To Jamrock" 2005 They gotta do laundry in Jamrock too.
9. EARTHGANG feat. J.I.D. - "Momma Told Me" 2016 The EARTHGANG Mom is cooking breakfast and doing the dishes while they rap and chill hard in slow motion.
10. Pomo - "How I Feel" 2015 I don't want to ruin the surprise but you should probably stick around to the end of the video to see who the ladies final visitor is.
11. Hilltop Hoods feat. Maverick Sabre - "Won't Let You Down" 2014 I love the video but think the song is pretty weak but since it came all the way from Southern Australia, I still feel lucky to have found it.
12. The Black Keys - "Weight Of Love" 2014 This song gets all Pink Floyd-y and it works for me.
13. Weezer - "Say It Ain't So" 1994 As Weezer does their thing, their squad goes about their business...doing laundry and shit. The realest.

Ten Music Videos With Kissing
10 Kissing Music Videos Playlist is here.
1. Disclosure feat. Eliza Doolittle - "You And Me" (Flume Remix) 2014 I actually think they went a little overboard with the kissing on this one but the song is awesome. It was one of the many songs I knew I loved in the first 1 minute and 4 seconds. My intro to Disclosure was "White Noise" featuring AlunaGeorge and I've been on board ever since. For Flume, the song that caught me was "Left Alone" featuring Chet Faker.
2. Bjork - "Mutual Core" 2012 Bjork is Queen of the Keep Iceland Weird committee in the best possible way. The almost unlistenable song and creepy visuals in this single from her Biophilia album make it an all around uncomfortable video to watch. Don't get me wrong, I have loved Bjork since before I Mod Podged the Post album art on my journal in 1995; but, her new music is a little hard to digest. A+ for effort and for staying true to her inner weirdo.
3. The Weeknd - "Often" 2014 Even though all of The Weeknd songs sound the same to me, there are only 3 songs that I have overplayed as of yet. "Can't Feel My Face," "The Zone," and "The Morning." He's just meh to me in general, but I would love to see other artists work as hard as he has for a sustainable music career.
4. Shura - "Touch" 2014 Love the song but the video makes me feel like a Peeping Tom. Shura has a Shuraverse on her website that is so high tech that it doesn't load half the time. Have yet to find any other Shura songs that I like.
The final product of Talib Kweli's remix is pretty weak. It feels like a concocted label collaboration to me, but maybe Kweli simply liked the song as much as I did?
5. BADBADNOTGOOD + Ghostface Killah feat. DOOM - "Ray Gun" 2015 This is a truly epic trio of artists. Masks, robots, spaceships, subtitles, cars, fur, birds, special effects, food, lasers, cops; this video has everything. I love that Left Brain is the lead actor in this; he doesn't tip his bartenders though so he'll never be that classy.
6. Odesza feat Zyra - "Say My Name" 2014 I'm down with Odesza but I have yet to feel the urge to spend time with their music. The duo met at WWU and quickly made Bellingham, WA a new hub of the Electronic music scene. Pretty sweet trick actually.
7. Prof - "Motel" 2015 Best dimples, promo, and socks in the game. He's been working his ass off under the guise of almost constant shenanigans for over a decade. With the priceless backing of Rhymesayers, he's making a huge mark on the music community.
My former ReignCity team had the pleasure of hosting Prof's "Liability Tour" at Nectar Lounge November 17, 2015 with Nacho Picasso and Slow Dance. Here's a few of the photos I found on my phone the next day.
8. The Flavr Blue - "Hearts Racing" 2014 SEATTLE MUSIC All three members of The Flavr Blue are pushing themselves to be the best humans they can be. Mad respect to Hollis, Parker, and Lace for their commitment to their craft and for being all around awesome people.
9. Snakehips feat. Tinashe + Chance The Rapper - "All My Friends" 2015 We never actually see what these people are waiting in line for which is actually perfect for the song. This video for my first exposure to Snakehips would have been perfect in the short Rotating Cameras list. I've listened to this song too much but I'm coo with it.
10. Kwamie Liv - "Higher" 2015 This video documents the course of a relationship, The Cure's Wild Mood Swings album did that too. I first heard Kwamie Liv in the single "5 AM" a few years back but haven't seen her in Seattle yet.
1. Disclosure feat. Eliza Doolittle - "You And Me" (Flume Remix) 2014 I actually think they went a little overboard with the kissing on this one but the song is awesome.
