Literal Versions of Music Videos: A Parody

Here’s the latest viral trend on YouTube: literal versions of pop music videos.

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” (2010 Webby Award Honoree & several notable mentions in print and online)

“Take on Me” (the “vid zero” that started all this; Magne from a-ha himself purportly praised  this video in a Rolling Stone interview.)
