By way of Jeff Atwood at CodingHorror, the literal music video version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart".

I'm not sure which makes less sense, the original or this one.

Interestingly on my friends page a completely different video is embedded.

LJ does something weird with embeds of videos. Try shift-reload.

This was amazingly funny. Thanks!

This one unnecessarily descends into bathroom humor in a couple of places, but the vocals weren't bad.

I was particularly impressed with the use of rhyming couplets.

but have you seen the literal video version of "Take On Me"?

[maradydd.livejournal.com]

I have, and I loled. "I'm gonna kick some ass with my own pipe wrench!"

The dancing ninja are best.

I know, right? It's like the director was scratching his head trying to figure out what to put in next to make the video that much more awesome, and then went "Oh, I know! Ninjas!"

It occurs to me that what we now need is for someone to take the soundtrack to one of these 'literal videos' and create a new video for it (with, of course, no particular constraints on its content, although it should feel at least vaguely artistically congruent). Then create a literal video for that, ad infinitum. :)
(Will this series converge? Tune in next week--and every week until the heat death of the universe--to find out!)

Needs more Auto-Tune.

What, you mean like a reggae version of the literal-video version of the song via Microsoft Songsmith, with the same video backdrop?

That might be a little too unnecessarily meta, but I'd still laugh.
