Sorry if the links start with adverts. Most of this list is going to come off of VEVO so it's kind of unavoidable. Also, Warner Brothers are jerks and won't let me embed some of their videos so you might have to navigate away from this blog a couple times.
Note: I included TRL stats as I could find them. TRL ran from 1998-2008 so any song not in that range obviously doesn't have anything. And yes, there is a TRL archive.
I hope you all enjoy these music videos as much as I did.

Artist: Butthole Surfers
Song: Pepper
Album: Electriclarryland (1996)
Origin of their name via Wikipedia:
The band did not begin as the Butthole Surfers, although they did have a song of that title, possibly an early version of 1984's "Butthole Surfer". This changed at their first paid concert, when an announcer forgot what the band was called and used the song title for the group’s name. They decided to keep the moniker, and have largely been billed as such ever since. Prior to that, the Surfers performed under a different name at every live show. Early aliases included the Dick Clark Five, Nine cm Worm Makes Own Food, the Vodka Family Winstons, and many others.
The name has long been a source of trouble for the band. Many clubs, newspapers, radio, and TV stations refuse to print or mention their full name, and instead opted to use "B.H. Surfers", or other abbreviations.
