Fatboy Slim, aka British DJ Norman Cook, also makes the top 20 with Praise You.

Both that video and Weapon of Choice were directed by Spike Jonze.

Virtual Insanity

The American also took the runner-up spot for Beastie Boys' Sabotage, in which the band dress up like Seventies American cops.

Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai - featuring lead singer Jay Kay dancing on a moving floor - makes it to number three in the poll for music channel VH1.

Blur's Coffee & TV, with its walking milk carton, is at number four while Radiohead's Street Spirit comes in one place below.

'Making a baby'

Cook said: "This is the biggest award I've ever received, really it is.

"But I want to dedicate this to Spike Jonze and Christopher Walken because I was at home making a baby at the time they made the video."

Hundreds of votes were collated for the chart with musicians, video-makers and figures from the music industry involved.
