DUCKSOUP'S TOP TEN LITERAL MUSIC VIDEOS

There are many other decent ones floating around out there (as well as many lame ones), but Dustin McLean and David Scott are not only the most prolific, but light years ahead of everyone else in terms of consistent LOL moments. These are my faves so far, in alphabetical order:

Head Over Heels--Dustin McLean
Some very good matching of parody lyrics with the lip-synching in places, except at the very end, where 'old guy' would have been a much better fit.


Loser--Dustin McLean
I think this one might actually be an improvement on the original song. It certainly makes more sense!


Love Is A Battlefield--David Scott
Easily one of the most preposterous videos ever, this one fittingly includes one of the most delightfully ridiculous LMV bits during the dance sequence. "Booby shake!"


One Week--David Scott
This one amazes me. There's just so much going on at such a fast pace, it is mind-boggling that everything could be made to fit the song so well. I love the exploding crotch.


Penny Lane--David Scott
As much as I hate to have to use that damn P-word, this one includes what is maybe the funniest moment in any LMV. You'll know it when you see it, it's totally 'random'.


Separate Ways--David Scott
"Steeeeeve...PERRY!"


Take On Me--Dustin McLean
The one that started it all, fittingly this was the first one I did at karaoke.


Total Eclipse Of The Heart--David Scott
This is the first one I saw, thanks to a tip from my karaoke comrade Rivers. One of the most definitive (and popular) LMVs.


Under The Bridge--Dustin McLean
This was going to be the first one I did at karaoke, but to my bumfuzzlement Doug & Micki don't have the video! How could that be?


White Wedding--Dustin McLean
"There is nothing safe in this room."


Honorable mention:
Video Killed The Radio Star--Phil Marriott
An entirely different definition of 'literal music video', this award-winner actually pre-dates all the others.

SOUNDALIKES

Heard the song "Falling Away From Me" by Korn on the radio today, and could not help thinking that (at least on this song) Jonathan Davis sounds a bit like Chris Griffin from "Family Guy".
