I like music videos with storylines, too!
I must say that in Aerosmith's "Crazy" song, skinny dipping in a crop field pond containing traces of manure and petrochemicals wouldn't be something *I'd* advise, but that video definitely held my attention.
Here's a famous video with a storyline that was written to showcase a lot of dancing:
Madonna - "Material Girl"
Plot: Non-material boy eventually successfully woos material girl who is really non-material underneath all the material.
Another video with a storyline:
Cyndi Lauper - "Girls Just Want To Have Fun"
Plot: Girl/Woman wants to have fun and tells that to people in her life who expect her to be serious and responsible all the time.
Finally, here is one of my favorite songs, which has a storyline video that was made for it:
Naked Eyes - "Always Something There To Remind Me"
Plot: Newspaper reporter suffers as his former love, a possibly discontented famous woman, marries someone else, with the end of the video suggesting the possibility of a reconciliation.
