#3- Take Back the Night

The second music video of a quadrilogy directed by CaptainSparklez, and performed by TryHardNinja, Take Back the Night focuses on the journey of the son of a fictional king in Minecraft, and how he must defeat Herobrine to save the land.

It is highly recommended to start with "The Fallen Kingdom" - a parody of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida," and watch through the others in linear fashion.

#2- Form This Way

A parody of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," this was created by InTheLittleWood back when Minecraft was still a brand new game. While it's no longer able to be found on his page, or the Yogscast YouTube page, it can still be found on YouTube uploaded by other users, such as GameExecutive.

With the video being so old, it's refreshing to see all of the old textures of the blocks and mobs.
