    LITERAL VIDEO VERSIONS
Special Selection July 2009 Litteral video versions are pretty big fad on YouTube, but the art is being perfected more with each posted video. The concept is simple, there is nothing more pretentious and random than your average 1980's music video. You listen to the song, and maybe don't fully pay attention to how completely lame the visual story is in the video. Fast forward 25 years, and some talented artists are re-recording new lyrics to these lame visuals, and the result is pure gold. The first video in this playlist has more awesome than can be taken in just one viewing. "What the effing crap, that angel guy just felt me up" - pure genius

         DEATH STAR
Special Selection June 2009 This spherical moon size battle station produces the mother of all laser beams. The Death Star is capable of moving throughout the galaxy, destroying entire planets and spreading fear like a shadow of impending doom. 75 miles in diameter it has a surface like a metropolis full of detention blocks and interrogation cells. The death star is capable of housing a billion people and requires a million personnel to operate.

I found this when I wasn't even looking for literal vids today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhJVAFIMnkc reply
How different from the original do you think the literal video version of Man From Down Under is?
reply
A-ha: Take on me - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnjYrP5J6rE
reply
I think the Ah-ha one is great, but I can not find the original. I'm not going to post the one with that douche from digg, I want the original without the intro or starwars crap at the end. I just can't find it!
reply
Fair enough, the intro and extro are veryh annoying!
reply
Take On Me (complete version)
http://www.dustfilms.com/literalvideos
This also has Dustin's other three literal videos. Take On Me and Under The Bridge were banned from his YouTube account (though other YT users repost them).
Dust Films (DustoMcNeato on YT) originated the literal video. The four by him, and the eight by DASjr Productions (dascottjr on YT) seem to be the most highly regarded, though HomeStarRunnerTron's two are well-produced, and worth a look.

The Death Star could have destroyed the planet of the Jar Jar Binkses, but didn't.
reply
It should have...
reply
I know! That's an epic fail!
reply
Totally, epic epic fail
reply
I think the fact that a bunch of personafied catfish were able to take down that many droids and not get blown up only increases a giant laser's awesomeness.
reply
If it did, it would have been even more awesome.
reply
yea lets all vote for queen of the mist now
reply
You people are voting for something that is used to efficiently kill billions of innocent people at a time. Sure, it is fictional, but you are still voting for a fictional floating planetwide holocaust device. Think about it.
reply
Sorry, much like Yorky, I have to vote against religious fanatic terrorists like Luke Skywalker, so the Death Star has my vote.
reply
Your logic has won me over. A vote for the Death Star is a vote for peace, justice, law, order, and the American way. A vote for Che Guevara is a vote for Luke Skywalker, Osama bin Laden, and the families of the victims of 9/11 who don't support the Iraq War.
reply
This is suddenly the best political debate I have heard in 10 years
reply
I actually noticed that there are no legit Death Star pictures in this slideshow. It must be so awesome, everyone just know what that is.
