A literal version video is like an official music video with one main (and potentially hilarious) difference – the original lyrics are replaced with ones that describe what is happening visually in the video.
The 1980s lends itself perfectly to this kind of thing, more specifically, the music video for Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 power ballad “Total Eclipse of the Heart”. The literal video version of Tyler’s hit has been viewed over 4 million times. Why? Because it has dancing ninjas who know how to twirl. Honest. Check it below.
That was most amusing. Find more literal video versions at YouTube.
