Watch This: 'Take On Me' (Literal Version)
Filed under: Music & Musicals, Trailers and Clips
As the description on You Tube reads: "Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do." Indeed ... someone edited one of our favorite music videos of all time to include a whole new set of lyrics that sing about what's actually going on in the video. The song and video in question is A-ha's Take On Me, which has been spoofed before (see this bit from Family Guy). Sure, it's not directly related to a movie, but it's damn funny to watch and might just help you through the remainder of the work day. Enjoy!

Gah! - Pipe Wrench! How has this video not been redone by Kanye Crybaby West yet?
I think the lyrics here make a heck of a lot more sense than the original ones. I am pleased :)

They neglected to point out the Altered States rip-off at the end.

Ignore this jackass. he's not affiliated with the dustfilms team and is trying to shamelessly profit off work that isn't his. the real shop for the dustfilms crew is located at http://www.cafepress.com/dustball, but they don't have any shirts involving the literal video version of Take Me On yet.

Ignore this jackass. he's not actually affiliated with the makers of the Take On Me - Literal Video Version, and in fact is just trying to make a quick buck off work that isn't his. go to www.dustfilms.com for the real creators. They've got a cafepress site at http://www.cafepress.com/dustball , but nothing involving the video yet.
