Clearly any and all songs can and will be used in AMVs.
However, what I'd be curious about is whether certain
songs can actually be set to an AMV. In particular I'm
thinking about songs with clear storylines for which
no single anime exists (using more than one anime
would be "cheating", unless massive masking and
compositition is done). It's cheating because if the
song says that a certain character does something
(say, Belldandy), you can't use Ai-chan later on as
the same character just because OMG! doesn't have
the right scene.
For example, take the song
Cruz de Navajas . It's a 4-minute tale about
infidelity, jealousy and murder (with a twist at the
end). It's a story-driven song which hasn't been
used on the org, and for which I cannot think of any
anime which could be edited in such a way so as
to follow the lyrics.
Are there any good examples on the org of
story/lyrics-driven AMVs? I'm asking for _faithful_
interpretations of what is being sung, not just
the two-or-three matching scenes which AMV
creators claim "tell the story".[/url]

I agree, but let me explain: I'm not talking about footageRamonesFan2020204 wrote:Dude, the footage doesn't have to always match the lyrics, but it DOES have to match the feel you're going for.
which matches things the lyrics are describing. Indeed, I
find it annoying when an AMV creator digs up a scene of a
rose every time a damn rose is mentioned in the song. I
much prefer clever allegorical symbolism, so if the song
says "rose" the AMV shows a red blood stain or the such
(corny example, but anyway).
What I meant is footage which describes the story which
the lyrics are telling. For example: consider the song
"Don't Stand So Close To Me". It's your basic three act
structure: two main characters are introduced, conflict
arises, tragic resolution in the end. Can an AMV be made
which tells this story faithfully? Matching footage _and_
feeling from beginning to end?
Can someone suggest AMVs (any story-song) which
accomplish this? It's very hard to do well, I think...
