this guy's gonna get an assful of pipe wrench!

Been meaning to post this for almost a week now.

A-Ha's "Take On Me," redone with literal lyrics that match the video.

My only criticism is that the ending is kinda weak. I think they missed a prime opportunity for an ALTERED STATES shout-out, even if only nerds like me would get it.

Still, I've seen this five times now. I reckon by the fifteenth time it'll stop being awesome. Maybe.

Between this and introducing angrylemur to the magnificence that is Michael Mann's MANHUNTER, it's been a good week for 80's-tasticness.

I'm one of angrylemur's associates, and I have decided that you are too cool a person not to add to my LJ friendslist. Kudos on the photo shoot.

Well thankya, and welcome pally! I take it then, based on your other comment, that you are part of her fabled Nerd Games and, perhaps, that you play Eddie there? If so, I envy you, as Eddie's one character I'd be terrified to take on in any format.

I'm glad you liked my analysis as well, it means a lot. After all, the character has varied so much over time, I could easily see others disagreeing with my view in favor of one they prefer.

You would be correct, sir! I am one of the Big Nerds at the Nerd Games, in fact. I play lots of people.

Thanks to a quirk of the continuity of the game I'm in, I had the task of moving Eddie from the "Hush" mastermind to Dini's reformed detective, while getting to skip the unfortunate 'bishie' phase in the middle.
