I Touch Myself by culf]
Rating/Notes/Warnings: Risque lyrics, slash.
Why I recommend this piece: Because it's hilarious (in a really good way, of course). It's told from the POV of Hot for Gene!Sam, and boy, is he ever hot for Gene ;-)

Ashes to Ashes by hollywoodgrrl
Rating/Notes/Warnings:A2A spoilers, A2A content (for anyone not into that show)
Why I recommend this piece: This is one of the best vids I've ever seen. The choice of song seems a little obvious, but once you start watching it and see how hollywoodgrrl has interwoven the A2A and LoM stories in an entirely different way to how they are interwoven in canon. Sam become a sort of manacing figure to Alex in this, and his presence is woven darkly throughout the vid. I re-watch this one very frequently.

Seconding culf's I touch myself - I have to because I kept poking her to finish it so have some guilt factor attached, though I didn't break her legs.

Fourthing, if that's a word...

I Touch Myself by Culf--
Why I recommend this piece:When I was in junior high school and this song came out, my ears burned every time I heard it. It has taken this video to turn me towards the wonder of the song’s ways. And, boy, am I ever turned.

I second this as well. It's excellent, and I wish I could do vids like that!

Holding Out For a Hero by Jennifer Saunders, vid by Nancy Blackett.
Rating/Notes/Warnings: Sam/Gene
Why I recommend this piece: Sam needs a hero. Gene Hunt just happens to be one. This video has been removed from youtube for some reason, but you can still find it at the link above, either for download, or you can select the play tab and stream it. I consider it a fantastic introduction to the Gene Genie, in all his bombastic glory. I watch it and get a thrill every time from the first shot of those lily-white legs to the last shot of our man standing in the doors of the CID. Larger than life, indeed.

Hurt by Johnny Cash vid by Operahearts
Rating/Notes/Warnings: Spoilers for various characters fates, both pre-Ashes to Ashes and A2A S1
Why I recommend this piece: Every clip in here is from Ashes to Ashes, so why am I recommending it here? Because it beautifully shows the man Gene has become as a result of Life on Mars and his friendship with Sam. With the lyrics "I hurt myself today", the video starts off with a close up on Gene ( ... )

Stuck in the middle with you by odessie aka nancyblackett
Rating/Notes/Warnings: none, t'is fun
Why I recommend this piece: Great song and a great Sam/Annie vid to go with it. The lyrics and chosen clips mesh beautifully together and it never fails to make me giggle. Poor old Sam!
