Literal Videos - Hilarious!
« on: June 19, 2009, 10:34 AM »
I pondered posting this in Recommend some music videos to me! or Silly Humor but I thought it warranted it's own post
Ever wish singers just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do...

And there's even more in dascottjr's channel.
 ;D ;D ;D

To point out one very good one, A-ha, Take on me.

Note, seems the original is gone, so this is a shorter version.

Also a different but related theme is literally interpreting the sounds in foreign videos as English words, for example here's a good one, though slightly NSFW.

I've seen the a-ha before.  Here's a link to the full-length:

That and the literal version of Never Gonna Give You Up (the rickroll song) are my favorites:

Most of the outside links above are dead... so maybe (hopefully) this will follow suit.  It's literally absurd.
Diamond Nuts does this a lot better though it's not on YouTube.   ;D

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.  But I'm not sure what it means to be foreheaded. :)

Other vids must've been funny since they're banned.  :)
