Looking for the names of some music videos

I'm looking for the names of some song's/music videos i remember.

The first is a late eighties electronicy type one, in the video you see a red haired guy walking around with a keyboard/guitar type yoke hanging around his sholders.

The second is a sort of german ballad. The video is shot entirely in black and white and shows the singer siting at a piano with some fotage of boxers in between.

The keyboard guitar/red hair, would that be Howard Jones?

I had to stumble through some dodgy Nik Kershaw, Thompsom Twins flashbacks to remember.

Just a guess, probably wrong, I see his career waned before the late 80's.

Wikipedia has some great reference material for the Now That's What I Call Music series of UK compilations, dating back to the early 80's, great for jogging your memory.

Les Rhythmes Digitales - Jacques Your Body is the first one.

Don't know the other one.

[edit]No it's not.[/edit]

Les Rhythmes Digitales - [Hey You] What's That Sound?

[edit2]It's not actually an 80's song either, just looks like it. Album was released in 1999.[/edit]

Basically I saw this video on both 120 minutes and Gonzo over the last week, some guy with a long beard, half rapping(think Mike Skinner back when he was good on his debut) over an electronic beat.The name of the artist was long and had a 'vs' in it.

Anyone have a clue who I'm talking about?

"Thou shall not wish your girlfriend was a freak like me!"

Superb track; much better live uncut version available on lastfm.
They have a great re-edit of Dizzee's Fix up Look Sharp on there too.
