Video Killed the Radio Star: Literal Video Version

[lala32594]

Grand Theft Auto Vice City!

[rossusna2002]

Love it! A+ from little 'ole me.

[shed412]

This is hilarious! Its so ridiculous its funny

[Mo6eB]

It is literal to a non-literal interpretation of the lyrics. Not very literal if you ask me. There's no video in the movie, just a couple of video cameras, no song, but a radio player and the song isn't about that kind of heartbreak. Plus, the mood of the song and the video don't match, nor does the action sync well with the lyrics.

And I didn't like it.

[matifachal]

It IS literal... to what THE SONG says. Not the video.

[DjFr3QaZ0iD]

Literal videos, as far as the memes go, are narrations of the music videos, not videos taken from the lyrics themselves. As far as the lyrics go, this is just a clever video, not a meme one. I was also disappointed that it wasn't meme related.

[AkulaCola]

epic

[B52sguy]

How literal do you idiots want? The video chopped up the radio in the bathtub! Cannot get more literal than that! That is talent exploded. Beside being the very first, and there is only one, video on MTV, the premise is literally, practically, and historically true. You liberal arts people just crack me up with your foolish ideals.

[BeatsnRhymes2207]

A literal Music Video is a music video where you take the official music videos picture and Beat, and sing along to what it looks like on the video.

[qvamp]

As many have said... love the video... hate the description. Not a literal video.

[DarkAmbient93]

The video itself is put together well, but it's not near as funny as youtube.com/watch?v=fuMo38g7P4­I

[Jiggomen]

this is so god damn fucking good

[Vectoroids]

When Radio fell down the stairs, is he dead then got hack sawed?

[MrRemicas]

I saw Video killed the Radio Star and I thought it was funny.

Then I saw the bath and the saw. I died laughing.

[athorist]

@sweetieJB520 I'm sure that'll be useful advice for them 4 years ago

[ResidentFilmmaker]

OYE! Brilliant Parody of a Video Classic... Keep up the Great Work!!!

-The Blond One-

[mirrorreflex]

A literal video has lyrics that match that video, although the lyrics aren't modified the video is different which still makes it a literal video. At least in my definition.

Anyway I thought the video was really hilarious.

[DainRiffgin89]

Just goes to show what happens with infidelity. it destroys families. and kills appliances...

[Muad420]

I wonder if they can use the footage as evidence in court, or would that constitute self-incrimination?

[langtoonlegend]

Because i was brought up on dance mats

[Saraishollywood]

Lol! Very creative! :)

[sherbetsaucers]

OK, everyone saying this isn't a literal video. Firstly, go and buy a dictionary. Or google the word. There you go... Still not convinced? The Take on Me vid, the first 'literal' video, was posted after this one. This isn't trying to be part of the same meme, it pre-dates it. Now stop being wrong!

[BrazilianSky]

@sherbetsaucers - Yeah, right. But this still is not a literal version in the sense people are used to look for (at least here on youtube). When they google for a literal version of this video (like I just did), this is not what they are expecting - even with all your explanation above making perfect sense.

Look up for Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" literal version and you'll see for yourself what I'm talking about. Epic!

[psyloche]

@sherbetsaucers no one quite cares about the dictionary version, so stop being a self righteous douche. people who search for literal videos want to see what videos that are the meme, not the technical dictionary definition. we don't come to youtube and search literal video for an english lesson, nor do we come to have pricks such as yourself preach to us. this...wasn't all that clever. no offense intended to the creator, but i didn't quite find any humor in it. take on me? it was hilarious.

[lionboy148]

gayest shit human being ever made

nice job for ruining my friday

It's friday friday gotta get down on friday

[999jsw]

This is awesomely cute!

[justwatchorelse1247]

just to let everybody know, the blood on his shirt was ORANGE! OR-ANGE!

[justwatchorelse1247]

[darkSorceror]

♫ Flat battery foiled the video star, flat battery foiled the video star ... ♫

[kymarcin]

May I remind you all this is the same country that brought us Benny Hill! :)

[iThinkiQuestion]

saw it coming

[riverlioness]

This is better than the original video.

[x44jackal44x]

great effort loved the video. Cool effects cute and amusing costumes.

[chirrelmetal]

I'm pretty sure that's not how you are supposed to use a saw.

[DontGoGentle]

great job ... I was expecting for VCR to get the arrest ... since VCR got "all the blame", but maybe the police saw through the accusation.

[MadiMe123]

I love this so much!!!! Haha, I'm showing this to all my friends.

[theskunkbudda]

Kudos Guys! Very well done!

This video makes me proud to also be from Leeds!

[NoChattanMeUp]

well technically it's a literal video...hhhh.

[AnnieRat1]

Absolutely amazing!

[Gonicksomestuff]

Since the beginning i was like, oh lol funny childish XD

then it hit 2:00 and I was like..... 'OMG WTF!!!'

[angrysouthkorean]

that was funny!!!!!! awesome! screw all the haters!!!!!

[Mr5Minutes]

Excellent!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥­♥♥♥♥♥

[r0ehamster]

Not what what I was expecting (verbals describe visuals). Having the visuals transcribe the lyrics was a brilliant idea. I hope you go on to great things!

[jubjub2112]

Very well done!

[OctopuPilot]

That's funny and the storyline fits the video perfectly. The music that starts as he raises the saw for instance, makes it so much better.

It's just great, creative and original.

[greenheather]

Pahaha!! Radios suprised expression made me ROFL

[inferno232]

INITIALLY: "I don't get it."

AFTERWARDS: "Oh... Okay, that's clever, I guess. Certainly one way to interpret the words "literal video version", I suppose.

[prophetofchoice007]

FUCKING BRILLIANT!

[ASHtheMUSICALgirl13]

This was very interesting, a literal video where the music video is made to follow the lyrics literaly instead of the lyrics being changed to match the video. Technically, this is a literal music video, yet its different then most on here in the way that it is literal. Still, very funny and artistic.

[SquirrelGirl225]

That was really gory...

[RudeBoyLouie1]

Not funny man, my wife cheated on me with a radio. XD

[chanceyboymcgilly]

lol that just made my day

[deucezrwild1]

@chanceyboymcgilly ....not funny man.....im cheating on my wife with a radio. XP

[methylethyldeth]

AWESOME!!!

[RememberTheEighties]

ha ha weird. I like how he tried to drink at the end. I think it would have been more cool if instead of blood cd's exploded out of him or something when he was dying.

[sbrushfan]

I get it now. Video LITERALLY killed the RADIO. Genius.

[iridium130]

Haha this was pretty well done!

[xxgianna7xx]

could you imagine this being the first video on MTV. ??????? its crazy. 

[bitesh]

that's not how you use a saw! :O

[bryarworship]

haha nicki minaj!!

[sherixxful]

that was quite well done, though, like everyone else is saying, not the literal version i was expecting. XP.

[music4all12]

oooooh GOSH, for most of the vid I thought it was the original music video:) lol

[fort383]

Hacksaw: Doing it Wrong.

[Daz555Daz]

Great twist on the literal video meme.

[Arbiter0917]

Hilarious. but literal versions arent this. XD

[sajoth]

@Arbiter0917

Actually, the re-dubbed versions ought to be "literal audio," right? So this is a literal "literal video" version :D

Great video! XD

[StargateMunky]

@Arbiter0917 This is genius!!! on more levels than your brain could possibly imagine

[demiser21]

@Arbiter0917 its funny how you try to correct him when this is literally correct by the term.

[WH32290]

@demiser21 You're right, this is actually a "literal" interpretation of the song. Most "literal" videos on here are actually "descriptive videos", not literal.

[chocolate11pie]

@Arbiter0917 That's the point of the song -_-

[Theukpk123]

@Arbiter0917

"Its just a bit of fun that was made before the whole 'replace the words' phenomenon hit YouTube. Hence the 'literal VIDEO version' title."

[Jinx9516]

@Arbiter0917 Well it does say literal VIDEO version lol

[KtwMjsuperfan]

@Arbiter0917 Actually, both versions are acceptable. This is just the second version of "Literal"

[mastifiorulamitongla]

dude - this is a FUKN EXCELLENT production!!!

[thebluefont]

Fantastically done video.



[LlamaJudge]

That's not what I expected from the title, but I can see you put plenty of time into the video, and I found it was well done

[sjdrewe]

lol i dont get it :)

[SignedSealedAndLost]

well this is definately not the type of "literal" video i as looking for :S but it was awesome :D

[ThumbsUpVids]

@onlocash haha your a really bad stalker, i don't have a dog or a sister :) retard :P

[onlocash]

@ThumbsUpVids So you admit everything about your mom and dad and riding a donkey pole. Okay understood..you can sit down now

you're 15 and don't know shit about anything. You don't even know how to insult people. Go home to your daddy it's your turn to get it in the behind donkeylover

[ThumbsUpVids]

@onlocash why would you want to insult people? thats just mean :) you should try smiling every once in a while, unless your life has boiled down to insulting people on the Internet. But its okay i understand! i hope you sort your life out soon! best wishes :) x

[onlocash]

@philmaz86 I know , even if that was the case I mean to chop her up and then saw her to pieces? whatever that was just my opinion..

[KyoKyoKitty]

This is fantastic!!! Great work and what a way to interpret the song!

[wunksta]

haha oh wow

[338rhonda]

0:50 - 0:53 LMAO @ RADIO!!!!!

[pieman3968]

lmao, this is halariously funny, i couldnt breath when the video took the hack saw on the radio

[TomoeNageX]

And that's why you don't cheat, because a camera headed businessman with a hacksaw will kill the sh*t out of you. :)

[Infinite0112]

@onlocash How could you possibly have interpreted that Radio was Video's mom? Lawd.

[hedonism13]

Internet Killed Television.

[CSofAmerica]

I dont think Video QUITE knows how to use a saw... Someone save him some trouble and get him a hachet!

[whathappensLIVE]

lol i wonder how hard it was to walk around with camera heads

[shadowsnowwhite]

I love this ^^

[brandcruz]

Why Fony Why

[battlestarnomore]

Fucking Epic!!!

[BacoLouco]

I don't belive that 150 dudes don't like this :0

[TheSupersam14]

haha great vid!

[alternatereality85]

149 people killed the YouTube star! Nice props btw!

[ThePurbleKing]

This was full of amazing epicness

[katarina213naruto]

._. so THATS how radio died xD

[EvilAsa93]

I'm totally doing fan art for these adorable things~

[Shadowcurser]

I will never see this song the same way again, thank you

[Sofang120]

Waoh O_o the Video really did kill the Radio star.  After Mr. Video went to prison Mrs. Video got pregnant from Radio...months later iPod was born.

P.S. Should have made the police heads walkie talkie radios, i'm just saying.

[darthreavan1]

WHAT THE HELL! THIS IS NOT A LITERAL VERSION!

[jjghfhdgssfd334]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, this rules!

[larrykoopa67]

Good but the police should've caught a VCR instead cause they put all the blame on VCR!

[NitnatsnokBugolos]

Need subtitles man.

[philmaz86]

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the frickin awesome comments! Really happy with how this has gone down. Just wanted to highlight the fact that the other week I made another rather silly video - just go on my channel to find it.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

[utubesnamepolsux]

@philmaz86 It is nice work. :-)

[338rhonda]

@philmaz86 Love love love what you did with this song. Excellent concept!

[DrSparrowShrike]

frikkin awsome XD

[PadainFain]

Really good editing and production. Much kudos to you.

[AngelBeeps]

This isn't really a Literal Video, for those you generally have to keep the original video and change the lyrics to fit the video, this is more of a fan made music video really.

That said though, this is a brilliant music video, congrats on it.

[ASHtheMUSICALgirl13]

PONY instead of SONY lol.

[socallmenothing]

Am I crazy or around 2:50 does this start to look like a Monty Python skit? :P (Awesome job, btw)

[SBD1138]

Is it just me, or does that look like more of a daughters' room then the wife's room?

[hotelmario510]

You scared my sister with this video.

I hope you're happy.

[fluffylazerwolf]

I wasnt expecting that !

I laughed so much and kinda freaked out too.

[stesca1]

Bravo! Very good!!

[TheLemurofLove]

nice

[WickedAwesomeEric]

to mee, this isn't a literal video version (which doesn't exist in my opinion) but just your own music video. but a really good music video.

[buttascotchbro1]

BEUTIFUL

[bmhafan]

this is the weirdest vid i've ever seen

[Krashisable]

I love this vid!!!

[JojKooooo]

Somebody tell the guys a saw is not the same as an axe.

[babbette29]

saying it was done wrong is crazy! if it had been donethe way that dozens of others are interpereting videos, it's ust a case of "copying." this way was just as funny.

[StratocastFloyd]

he did it wrong

amirite?

[Tenten32321]

God, I love this music video so much.

It's so gory, but it's so upbeat and happy you can't help but love it!!!!

Congrats on the award for this too. It was worth it :D

[PattyP123]

Great idea of doing it the reverse way, but a little gruesome.

[ExtinctSS]

This is awesome.

[druidic6]

it's the same video....

It's the same song! it didn't change.... oh. lol!!! I like this one :)

[dff1213]

Wicked good idea, I liked it a lot

[RinRanThatWay]

This version of the video is amazing.

[HAMHOTPOT]

[fort383]

@HAMHOTPOT no, no taking my comment out of its place. bad dog.

[ricaard]

Didn't get it at first (my fault), but that was brilliant!

[arru79]

Freaky

[getthepoooffmybum]

Lmao I was like wtf is this at first and this turned out being one the most far fetched things I've ever seen haha well done!

[siliconbandit]

[jason24568]

[bribirthecutetwin2]

[bigfoot7066]

[channytoocool1]

[jetaime247]

[YDOUTHINKTHETDISREAL]

at 2:24 - 2:28 i was reminded of a horror movie.

[Madamegato]

Really cute. :)

[cmssaysftw]

This Should Have been the Original Video. Twas Teh Awesomeness.

[manipedi74]

brilliant

[Pathfinder211]

A perfect example of what 80's MTV was like...except the original vid sucked. This is what it should have been like. Great job!

[vinice0]

haha really funny

[toshirodragon]

Awesome! That was great!

[jason24568]

0:25 LOL! A big ass video camera!

[jason24568]

A big ass pink video cam and the big ass radio!

[eboing]

Internet killed the video star.

[joshyboy67]

I remember this song from GTA Vice City.

[Zugzugul]

Now THAT'S literal!

[BerserkerSkye77]

Very bizzare. Way cooler than the official video!

[N0uRD34d]

must have taken some time to clean up

[sydjones01]

OMG you can tell the blood is fake

[tokyomewgal]

LOL This makes more sense than the real video.

[AntiMammoth]

do you own a cat?

[BakayaroManiac]

lovely! Best part is that you made the 'heads' so large, a bit harder to move around with, but no less cooler.

[Ontoe]

Sick. Twisted. Awesome :)

[Steggman]

pants.

[AkumaTh1]

It's a crime this video didn't get as popular as the Literal Lyrics version. Frikkin Funny take on that song.
