I don't find music videos helpful (yet, perhaps?) because ASL grammar is different. I can hear lyrics and think about how I would sign it; but because, as Anij says, song lyrics are often written in 'abstract' English, it's not really easy to follow.

I think an exception (again, for me) is country songs that tell a story, stuff like El Paso or Big Iron, as they generally use proper English sentence structure.
