Why was I not informed of this before? "Literal" version of the "Total Eclipse of the Heart" music video:

I like how the humor starts out at an eye-rolling, i-see-what-you-did-there level, but starts getting more comfortable and clever a little way in.

The whole series of these videos is pretty good, with several el-oh-el moments, if you're me.

Did you see my post about the Meat Loaf literal on FB? Also a lol-er, IMHO (humored opinion)

I didn't really like the white wedding one, it didn't live up to the take on me magic, but this lives up and exceeds! I lol'ed at the Hogwarts line. And the angel. Lordy...

I kinda LOLed from the beginning. I was expecting the "transliteration" we see on Bollywood music videos, which just strike me as racist and unfunny.

I get it! The song is about a schoolteacher having affairs with her students. Wow, how times have changed!

My coworker thought I was crying, I was trying so hard to hold my laughter back. This made my week. And totally makes up for the pictures my cousin posted earlier of her husband in a speedo.

This is my introduction to the whole genre! Never knew such a thing existed... the things you find on teh Internets.

Hugely funny--especially the thing about Hogwarts!

Totally effed in the A.

I never got the pedophilic angle of that video before. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
