Music Videos with Different Music

I just had one of the coolest things happen to me. I was listening to some music (Of Montreal) on the computer while going through the school website to get to the eResources in the library section. On the front of the library page there was an embedded music video by some artist or something. At first I clicked past it, but then I thought I should check it out if the library thought it was worth embedding on their front page. So I went back. I didn't want to stop the music I was listening to so I decided I'd just mute the video player, since it was probably the visuals that were the best part anyways. I started the video playing and then all of a sudden The Party's Crashing Us (by Of Montreal) started playing almost in response. I continued to watch in awe as the video almost perfectly synced up with the music, or vice versa I suppose. I couldn't believe how well they worked together. I never actually listened to the video's actual music but as far as I'm concerned it may as well be the video for The Party's Crashing Us. It was an amazing fluke how it worked out, essentially from start to end, completely perfect. The dancing in the video was even on time! The video was Department of Eages - No One Does It Like You. This experience has definitely interested me in the compatability of different music with different music videos. There are so many great music videos that are awesome independently of their music. The music can completely change the context of everything so switching the audio could definitely do some very interesting things.

Mostly though I just thought it was an incredible accident. That reminds me of a thought I had the other day and I'm not sure if it's entirely true, but accidents may just be the most beautiful thing in the world.
