Wait! Before you watch, have you seen the film that this gives a very thankful nod to? A Trip to the Moon by Georges Melies, from 1902 was one of the first films to feature a plot, and it was most certainly Steampunk! So once you’ve seen that – this music video by the Smashing Pumpkins will seem even more charming, I think.

I’ve heard the music before – and I find it fairly agreeable, and indeed I think I’ve even seen clips from the video before – but many thanks go to Jesse Neninger for being so kind as to think of Brass Goggles and send the link in, as there’s no way I would have remembered it otherwise.  It’s delightfully Steampunk – the costumes and set design are superb and if you look very closely at the steamship at the end, you may recognise the name – the father of Steampunk film.
