Literal Genius

For those too young to know, remember or care, music videos were a lot different in the 80s. Having progressed from shooting the band on video against a bright, white screen some companies created more complex narratives using traditional film-making techniques. To begin with, these were quite often literal translations of the lyrics of the song. (See Cold Chisel's Flame Trees). However they soon moved on to bizarre nonsensical visual ramblings quite possibly fuelled by the sheer amount of cocaine floating around at that time. Recently, some very clever people on the interweb have been retrofitting lyrics to these video clips and making literal genius. Enjoy this literal version of 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart':

Red Bull Gives You Heart Murmurs?

A New Zealand woman has given herself severe anxiety attacks, stomach cramping and a heart murmur by going on a diet where she consumed nothing but Red Bull for 8 months. Now I don't know about you, I get a little jittery after two Red Bulls, even when they have vodka in them. I can't imagine drinking them every day for 8 months.
Perhaps she got some of the special batch from Taiwan that had traces of cocaine....
