Literal Video

[The Borgified Corpse]

Any of you folks seen "Literal Video"? The concept is very simple. They take existing music videos, the more bizarre the better, then change the lyrics to literally describe what's going on in the video. The results: hilarious! Some of my favorites:

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-x9ygQEGA
"Take on Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnjYrP5J6rE&feature=related
"Head Over Heels" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0TYun-Nq1Q&feature=related

Enjoy!

I've seen the Total Eclipse of the Heart, but not the other two. I loved the Tears for Fears one. I cracked up at the part were the keyboardist comes in and the singer sings "is that Dave Coulier?"

As much as I might glorify the good ol' days of music videos, it's good to be reminded how god awful some of them were.
