Head Over Heels, the Literal Version


(Funny or Die link)

The folks who brought you the Literal Take On Me followed that up with Head Over Heels by Tears for Fears. Smooth! -via beta

The a-ha one was genius. This one was okay. But it seemed to stray from the "what's literal happening on the screen is what's sung" idea.

Still gotta give them credit, though.

They copied this from Ghostbusters, and check out my cool new sweater from the Gap made me laugh.

Take On Me was way better, though. It must be topped! (sorry, woogie)

I found the Aha one funny for the first minute or so. Now I fully expect this idea to be beaten to death like the re-cut movie trailer gimmick a few years back.

Settle down woogie! If you don't like it, fine. No need to spoil the fun of people who do like it.

It already seems like it might be a new meme... Still, only one group has done it so far, so perhaps not.

Does anyone remember their video before the big-toothed, pretentious one took over the group? It wasn't a great song, but, at least there was less of the pretentious one in the video. Totally put me off the group when all we saw was the one guy... Felt sorry for the other one. Maybe he was the lesser talented, I don't know. But, man, I wish they'd done something else in their videos but focus on toothy!

Ah, Valerie, don't be mean to toothy. He was the original emo kid. Seriously, watch some of their old videos, and he just looks SO sad, and you know he's not faking it. (That's a boy who obviously got picked on a lot in gym class, poor thing.) If I remember, he wrote most of their songs, so it's natural he'd be upfront. Maybe it just seemed odd because there was this more conventionally handsome guy hiding in the background, while this toothy little guy was in your face singing.
