A Music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes.Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. Although the origins of music videos date back much further, they came into prominence in the 1980s, when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 80s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip" or "film clip".
During 1960's the music videos were known as promotion films, documentaries.
On Top of the pops when the band was not present and they were in line to perform they had dance groups to interoperate the music to their imagination. The group that stood in for them was called legs and co, these were a dance group that were put on stage if the band was not present.
But after queen made a "short film" also know as the music video. This then meant that the dance groups got the boot as more and more music videos were used if the groups due to be at Top of the pops were not present.
