Literal Videos
 

So instead of the lyrics to the songs they are replaced with a literal translation of what's happening in the video. For me, I had forgotten how weird the video for Total Eclipse of the Heart was...

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Losing My Religion

Emo Kid throwing Slo-mo doves at my face!

You forgot the best part!

I don't think I have ever laughed as much at a YouTube video as I have at Total Eclipse of the Heart translation.

I forgot how utterly stupid the Total Eclipse of the Heart video was. Or blocked out, maybe. This, to me, just highlights the sheer lunacy of the eighties as a decade.

Wasn't as impressed by the other one, though. I thought REM would work for this, but the execution was a bit lacking.

These are great! Here's some more:

"Band montage!"

I was just on my way here to post this! Grrrr. :)


Anyway, Total Eclipse had me laughing my ass off. "It started off as Hogwart's, now it's Lord of the Flies..."

I cant remember the last time I laughed this hard, thanks Charlatan hehehehe I have tears running down my face

dancing ninja men who know how to twirl ahahahahahahaha

I'll also toss in:

Total Eclipse of the Heart

- There is no doubt that had I watched that video as a young lad I'd most certainly be left traumatized; I might have glinted some just now. I've never been so happy to be a child of the radio before as I am now.


Losing My Religion

- The audio quality was bad; the dubbing and shtick found within was even worse. If I had liked this video at all before today, it's all but gone now.


Take On Me

- Wow. A great concept video originally. Now, I believe the re-dub could hold its own as a verifiable hit. It's a smash!

Under The Bridge

- It was average. This was the easiest song to translate; maybe too easy.
