With lyrics rewritten to match the visuals, videos like "Take On Me," "White Wedding," and "Penny Lane" get hilarious, literally.
Ever watched a music video and wondered what on earth the visuals had to do with the song? (What up, Katy Perry?) Well some people have taken matters into their own hands, rewriting the song lyrics to match what's going on in the vid. Here are The Mark's 15 favourites.
A-ha's "Take On Me"
Sample lyric: Everything's drawn and super '80s/Lots of squiggly lines/When I stand here it makes me human.
Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart"
Sample lyric: I walk onto a terrace where I think I'm all alone/But Arthur Fonzarelli's got an army of clones.
Tears for Fears' "Head Over Heels"
Sample lyric: What is with this gas mask?/This is a strange library.
Billy Idol's "White Wedding"
Sample lyric: Big candelabra/I am shirtless now/'cept for a necklace and a leather glove.
Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"
Sample lyric: Karaoke all alone/Frank Sinatra's microphone/Giant windows make this place look churchy.
