Beelzebub isn't Satan

Beelzebub, while often being confused with Lucifer, isn't actually Satan. He is a devil, a daemon, outcast from heaven as a fallen angel, but he is not THE Devil, Lucifer (the brightest star), who led the rebellion against God.
In Milton's "Paradise Lost", Beelzebub and Satan converse often, the former being the latter's right hand man.
In "Lord of the Flies", Beelzebub appears as the titular character (it being a Hebrew word that roughly translates to the title of the book) in the form of a staked pig, revealing the dark nature of humanity to Simon.

Hm, I could swear I read that he was Satan. I'll pop over to EF and have it fixed.

A lot of people do make the mistake don't worry, and you can casually refer to Beelzebub and mean Satan, but if we're going to be technical (in keeping with you correctly pointing out that it isn't the first music video) then he's not quite Satan no.
