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 [livejournal.com profile] angrylemur to the magnificence that is Michael Mann's MANHUNTER, it's been a good week for 80's-tasticness.

That... was necessary.

The cognitive dissonance of the original video is practically swoon-worthy:

Music: poppy fun
Lyrics: mind-numbingly stupid
Video: visually attractive
Video storyline: mind-numbingly stupid, but a DIFFERENT mind-numbingly stupid from the lyrics

What a delightfully perfect response. I almost hear it delivered in a deadpan [livejournal.com profile] fiveseconddelay manner.

God, it's all so true!
