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 choose to believe that they did notice the error, but didn't change the lyrics because "piiipe wreeench fiiiight" is one of the funniest lines! (Although "baaand montaaage" makes me giggle every time too)

Also, I have to link to the Family Guy parody of the same video, because that also makes me giggle, and because Chris' little shuffle-kick dance is just too cute.
