Beastie Boys “Sabotage” Goes Literal

If you enjoyed David A. Scott’s literal video version of Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 power ballad Total Eclipse of the Heart, chances are you’ll like this as well. The commercial producer from upstate New York has created another literal video, this time for the Beastie Boys’ classic track, “Sabotage”.

What you will see below is the cat-friendly version which somehow prevents the video from getting banned in some countries. The subtitles are pretty hard to read so we’d suggest a trip to YouTube to view the full, en-embeddable version.

BONUS: This is not the first time Sabotage has been doctored. Earlier in March, a YouTuber by name of katamaran78 re-created the music video using scenes from Battlestar Galactica. Check out the outstanding mashup that is Galactica: Sabotage.

Total Eclipse of The Heart: Literal Video Version

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.
