For all the literal-minded people out there... [livejournal.com profile] watchmebe found this, and I HAD to share. If (like me) you have already seen the original video 1,000,000 times, bear with it past the opening instrumental sequence and you'll see what I mean.

That is absolutely the most brilliant thing I've seen all day.

I only realized halfway through that this was a parody but it's still pretty funny.

I always wondered what the heck was going on in that icon of yours.:D

No, I hadn't seen this before, but yay! And now I know where your icon comes from!

That singing voice is PERFECT! Brilliant work.

*boggle* Wow.

It actually never occurred to me to wish people would sing what was happening in the music videos, though I did sometimes wish music videos would have more to do with the original lyrics. I had never seen the video before, but I have to say, it never once crossed my mind that the visuals accompanying that song would involve people going in and out of drawings.

The rework was hilarious.

That was just awesome! And the singer did a great job. Man, how I loved that video back in the day.

Oh, that's just beyond brilliant! Tiffany and I were just in tears!

Oh man that was awesome. I seriously have the urge now to memorize the literal video lyrics so I can sing along when the song comes on the radio.

Thank you! Love that version, too.

That is really quite brilliant. I've seen it popping up on my friends list all over the love. I loved the video so much anyway, now it's betterer!

Gosh I needed that! I'm buried in doom-n-misery books just now.
