Diners in Music Videos .. Are There Any?

After my Springsteen post, I started to wonder, how many other diners have been in music videos. There has to be more than a few, right? Well, that may be true - I'm just having a hard time finding them. Sure, there are many that feature a uniformed waitresses in either a coffee shop or restaurant ... but actual diners?

The answer depends on how you describe a diner. As with most things, the response varies depending on who you ask. While the local cafe may have the same spirit, a diner has been defined by aficionados as a self-contained restaurant built by either the Worcester Lunch Car Company, Swingle, DeRaffle or any of the other manufacturers of the time. It was then transported in one (maybe two) pieces to its location.

A quick search turned up these:

Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders.

Happy Days by Weezer

Tom's Diner by Susanne Vega

They're cool videos (check them out on YouTube) but they're just weren't filmed in diners.  Do you know of any?

And of course, it clearly is just another reason why Springsteen rocks.
