Jimmy Cliff in the Best Video Ever?

I prefer to imagine that the images in this Jimmy Cliff video are not from a movie but are directed - in random, stream-of-consciousness perfection. The way Cliff moves while singing, holding his cigarette in the middle of his fingers the whole time... the rastas flying the kite on the beach... the rolling of a baseball-bat-sized spliff... the graffetti message: "I WAS HERE BUT I DISAPEAR"... the couple having sex in the ocean...

And when's the last time you saw a music video that wasn't lip synced?

Jimmy Cliff "The Harder They Come"
