Is that Dave Coulier?
This may be old news, but I’m slow! These Literal Video Versions of classic tunes are absolutely killing me tonight. Maybe it’s because I love the cheesetastic videos they’re making fun of, or perhaps it’s the oft-ignored fact that sometimes the cheapest joke really is the funniest joke. Either way, I’ve been laughing out loud for the last 30 minutes.
Tears for Fears are such a favorite of mine, what with their quintessential 80s Casio keyboard sounds and over the top video theatrics. They also never fail to remind me of Real Genius. Yes, not only do I love bad 80s pop, I relish bad 80s teen comedies. I can’t really help it if Michelle Meyrink was the ultimate fantasy girl for nerdy boys everywhere (including myself). Besides, any movie featuring popcorn as the villain’s ultimate fear just *has* to be good, right?
As for Billy Idol, well, do I really need to explain why I love Billy Idol?*

Hilarious!
“Standin’ by candles!”
I think these might be even better if they still had the original song in them, and then just subtitled the new lyrics. I kept getting distracted trying to think of the original lyrics :)
See, I know these songs inside and out, so the new lyrics are pretty effin’ funny.
