zengarFor anyone who's unfamiliar with the concept, the idea is to take a song with an odd/interesting music video and replace the lyrics with ones that (more or less) describe what's going on in the video. now a lot of the attempts out there are somewhat iffy, with bad singing, poor adherence to the original meter, just plain dumb new lyrics, or some combination of all three. Some, however, rise above all that and I figure I should compile the ones I've found here in case I want to find them again.
Ah-Ha - Take On Me the one that started it all.
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart the one I saw linked recently that reminded me about them.
Meatloaf - Anything For Love oddly, I think this version might be a more coherent story than the original...
They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul not quite as well done, but it's They Might Be Giants.
The Beatles - Penny Lane and you were starting to think these people only did 80s videos :)
Billie Idol - White wedding this one and the next are both by the same guy/group that did the Take On Me video.
Tears for Fears - Head Over Heals
Hmm, I just realized that the They might be giants video is the only one I've got here that isn't either from www.DustFilms.com or dascottjr. Has anyone else found any interesting ones?
