Music videos are certainly feasible with animation. Importing music into flash is just like importing any kind of sound be it voiceover, effects, or loops. I've thought about several ideas to use as music videos but depending on what you plan on doing, you're looking at alot of work!!...
here's a couple examples of some music videos that one of my favorite animators did. This guy, Dan Meth, is good!!...and funny:

i know he also did a music video for 'the hives'. but, for some reason you can only find it on youtube here:

the closest thing i have to one is my I.D. sign off on the stuff I put on youtube. You can find it here:

just navigate to 5:01 if you don't want to sit through the actual video. Since it's frame by frame and at 12 frames per second, it took me an entire summer to complete :26 seconds of animation. I used 'idiot box' from incubus and in turn place a big fat link on my website to their charity. I was thinking that if they had a problem with my under :30 second use of their music, I would just contract myself to make an animated video for them knowing full well, though, how long something like that could possibly take.
anyway, good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
hey, jordan...
