Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" video finally explained

Thought you all would enjoy this latest Literal Video of Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean." (Major shout out to Kevin K. of Rumproast, who called this to my attention.)



Hey, these lyrics make more sense than

For Forty Days And Forty Nights
The Law Was On Her Side
But Who Can Stand When She's In Demand
Her Schemes And Plans
'Cause We Danced On The Floor In The Round
So Take My Strong Advice, Just Remember To Always Think Twice
(Do Think Twice)

My favorite lines in the Literal Version of "Billie Jean": "Hit my groin, jacket's on, spin around" and "My collar's made from a tractor tire. Gonna raise it higher. If you don't like it, talk to the hand."

This version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is literally awesome

For those of you unfamiliar with the genre, literal videos are versions of real music videos which have been cleverly dubbed so that the singer sounds like he/she is singing about what is actually happening in the video. Dust Films claims to be "the official home of the original Literal Videos," and features literal versions of A-Ha's "Take on Me," Tears for Fears' "Head over Heels," Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge," and Billy Idol's "White Wedding," all of which are all kinds of awesome, especially if you know or remember the original. (Click on the Dust Films link above to check out the videos.)

Now someone has come out with a literal version of Bonnie Tyler's 1983 hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart," which friend of the blog Larissa sent me a link to earlier this morning. The video had me laughing so hard, I had tears streaming down my face (and the spouse stopped in my office to see if everything was okay).

And now, without further ado, I give you "Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Video Version":



Btw, had I, back in the 1980s, known that boarding school boys were that hot, I would have gone. I also have a whole new take on fencing.
