Hello! I am looking for music videos that show regular streets of a major city. I'm working on a small (non-academic) research project, where I look at how cities have evolved in the past decades by comparing current Street View/photos with older footage from music videos. I am not looking for one specific music video, so any video that fills the criteria below is welcome:

* The video has to be at least 10-15 years old (so that there will actually be significant changes to be seen). Older is better!

* The video has to show a significant amount of footage of the street (road and buildings at ground level), and it has to be visible enough so that the comparison can be made (it's not worth the hassle if all I can see is a 2-second shot with fast movements). Cityscapes and skylines don't really work for what I want (though they don't bother me if there's also street-level footage).

* The location has to be identifiable (I don't need you to provide the location if you don't know it, but I'd have to be able to find the location with some research—a random cul-de-sac in suburban North America is probably not going to work).

* The music video (or the song) has to be somewhat popular or known. It doesn't have to be classified as pop (any genre will do!), and I realize that things that are popular in some places might not be in others, but videos with only 1k views won't work.

Some examples of music videos that I have already found and that would work for this project:

[Come Into My World - Kylie Minogue](https://youtu.be/63vqob-MljQ?si=vVil0-nIjJKoFByH)

[Open Your Eyes - Snow Patrol](https://youtu.be/fk1Q9y6VVy0?si=1MJNQBd5EFSFlBiS) (originally from a movie, but still works!)

[Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve](https://youtu.be/1lyu1KKwC74?si=SLrbTP47jTT2vxxi)

[Come On Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BODDyZRF6A)

[Hideaway - Kiesza](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESXgJ9-H-2U)

Thanks!
