In 2002, the video for the White Stripes' song "Fell in Love With a Girl" off of their 2001 "White Blood Cells" album was released, causing an instant sensation. Directed by experimental director Michel Gondry, the video featured stop-motion animation consisting entirely of Lego blocks.
Though the concept itself was very simple and straightforward, it hadn't yet been seen in music videos, nor had it been done anywhere quite as cleverly as Gondry's clip. As a result, the video helped catapult the song - which was a hit in its own right - to the top of the charts, earning national awareness for the White Stripes.
As an interesting side note, the kid playing with the blocks at the beginning of the video is director Gondry's son. Enjoy!
