I always thought that the lyrics of Ultravox's "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" are merely about the end of relationship (living out a memory of a love that died), with some vaguely ominous undertones (the man on the wireless cries again, "It's over, it's over"). But the music video puts it in a context of an upcoming nuclear apocalypse, which is something quite different!
Are there any other examples like this, where the video totally changes the meaning of the song?
