THIS IS A FAIR USE. PLEASE STOP BLOCKING IT.

[IhateMTVandVIVA]

"And now a quick recap of unsafe things this office had:

Spear, Precarious stack of books, Lion, Open flame, Broken glass, Man in sultry pose"

Oh my God, I laugh so hard that it starts to hurt me !

[benos]

[silumkid]

[urflofit2010]

Thats two rules!

[tinakover]

Well played, greenpowerranger7. Well played.

[belledame3]

An unluckily number of people couldn't get into Africa.

[brownsm5]

Immeasurably the best of the literal videos. Can't think of anything funnier on YouTube, offhand.

[Swallow1988]

[pterowraith]

Hey guys, how did we get up here? Weird.

[RomanGods1]

Is that Gerald Butler lol?

[Fabishobbies]

Lol I love this band!!! And this parody!!!

[evillttlimp]

I dunno... like... A SPEAR?!

[NefariousEvildoer]

FIIIIRE CODE VIOLAAAAAAATION! XD

[lisa08016]

OH my freakin' God did you just see what that guy threw? Roflmao

[VTPPGLVR]

For a second, when I saw "greenpowerranger7", I thought "why is that on the list of unsafe things? I didn't even SEE a Power Ranger..."

[beastchicky]

LMAO one of the GREATEST i've EVER seen

[Perry6006]

Safari-themed accounting firm!!! Hilarious!

[b017ni3]

[mortiekombat]

this is so funny

[Xsizew]

LMAO!

[Kinkoyaburi]

[benos]

@Kinkoyaburi IT'S A LION, GET IN THE CAR!

[getthepoooffmybum]

I can't believe this only has 60,000 views. I honestly almost know this version by heart lol classic

[coffi777]

if you're gonna cover one of the best songs ever made make sure you do it right

[rmpbklyn]

the ending is the best part!!!! <3

[mrzachattackf]

Dudes a crazy good piano player

[Teobi1]

Fire code violation. bwahahahahaaaaa XD

[2it2ga]

Man in sultry position... A good way to end the song

[Rayden440]

haha loved the foreshadowing

[TheLegendaryWilly]

LOL 'I'd be screwed if some guy threw a spear at me' what do u no!

[julesagogo]

simply the best literal video.

[ShaunSteinfeger]

so great^^

[TerragorDragon]

Yes, because Man in Sultry pose is clearly a violation of... something..

[tempajusta]

This song has inspired me.

I will open a Safari Themed Accounting Firm.

Not so sure about the beads though...

[rud3m3chanical]

@tempajusta

I hate the beads!

[fossilgirl8]

This is my absolute favorite literal video. I probably watch it once a week for a good laugh.

[TheEuropefan]

jajajajajajajajaj que divertido!!!!!!!

[MultiGilligan]

hehehe... man in sultry pose...

[disgrl4]

7 people had spears thrown at them through bead doors.

[ironstosh]

I can't believe they didn't include any reference to that dude looking like Zak Gilifianakas !!!

[Mozzer75]

@ironstosh "that dude" is david paich, god amongst mortal musicians. right about the resemblance, though.

[stripedsockscat]

MAN IN SULTRY POSE

[hyacinthdibley]

ENCORE ENCORE!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

[bratattack5]

OMG to many funny things in this one to have just one. Love it.

[Digglesisdead]

He's right you know. You CAN'T put locks on strings of beads.

[MultiGilligan]

all these literal videos make my day

[getthepoooffmybum]

Man in sultry pose <333

[datsfunnychit]

Oh my freaking god this is going on my facebook, heeeelarious!!!!!!!

[Diamondex11]

One must always be vigilant in the search for men in sultry poses. Who knows what kinds of accidents we might get into otherwise?

[MackTuesday]

Now a quick recap of unsafe things this office had XD

[gunithdev]

I love it! I love it!

[lucyMGMT]

this is legenday, i love the oh my freakin god bit :') i applaud you :)

[SometimesHer]

[musmann]

These are so funny!

[averagejoe0073]

This is BY FAR the funniest thing I have seen on YouTube, ever.

[PocketPrincess1985]

you're absolutely great!!!

[MrNotbadyou]

Five people are being exiled to Africa. Excellent job on the song.

[lap3230]

Perfecto!

[TheMuddyFunker]

Incredible.

Great song, but I think this version is better lol!!

[dreamgirl1981]

[cinnamon2169]

[Skoringo]

[LTF6161]

Bravo. I laughed so hard I got tears in my eyes. Excellent!

[jamesmlewis1234]

Hilarious

[getthepoooffmybum]

lmao that was easily the best one ive seen so far thank you for the laughs :D

[TheWhatsinaname]

LOL! About man in sultry pose being one of the dangerous items in that office.

[TheWhatsinaname]

Okay someone needs to make a literal version of Toto's "Rosanna" video.

[yuga2]

That was great. I love this song but, strangely enough, wasn't bothered by the new lyrics. Very clever.

[Kenjutsumasters]

BRILLIANT!!! ROTFGLMAO!!!! NEED I SAY MORE

[helenkeller93083]

This is definitely one of the best literal videos I've seen; great job!

[TheStoryteller01]

You are not the greatest singer but the lyrics are very funny and reference the original ones quite well

thumbs up!

[MegaHalofan101]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[theberryalien]

Excellent! Love the recap on the unsafe things and the beaded door. Let this be a lesson to safari accountants everywhere!!

[theberryalien]

Excellent! Love the recap on the unsafe things and the beaded door. Let this be a lesson to safari accountants everywhere!!

[IzzyRyda]

dascottjr recommended this video to another user and I'm glad I followed. I just thank god you're NOT a powerhouse singer. Funny lyrics + powerful vocals = me having fits on the floor. GREAT JOB!

[icemanproperbo]

Best literal video ever, Crying with laughter

[matleyz]

"Oh my freakin' God" is so hilarious in a mellow falsetto voice.

[StratagemBlue]

@matleyz I know! That and the line "I hate the beads!" cracked me up so much.

[engelsmarx]

I cried out loud :D really nice video

[sethlaflamme]

I love how this literal video thing reduces someone's effort at conceptual high art via video, and reduces it to the banal and absurd. Someone should do "Give It Away" by the Chili Peppers.

[borednow]

HAHAHHAA man in sultry pose is really dangerous!!!

[Lamaj93]

Lion!

[SteveonLI]

love it

[magpiemaniac]

Bravo! Well done.

[turkeyday53]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Oh my God. Too many good lines to mention. So who cares if the singing (YTLemming - I'm talkin' to you) is "fair". That's not the point. It's close enough! And it's hysterical! A million thanks! Love you!

e.

[nykali]

Safari themed accounting firm doesn't have any security..I wonder if they have brinks in Africa in the 80s...

[adamluedtke]

Well done! This is one of the better 2010 literal videos out there (definitely in the all-time top 20 for now!).

[YTLemming]

The lyrics are brilliant. The singing is fair.

[b1naryd1g1t5]

LMFAO. Good fuckin job, dude. Safari themed accounting firm rulez.

[azcutter77]

freakin awesome! great job!

[nitsamu]

Favorite literal music video of all time ** probably cuz I secretly love this song.

[toonadict]

I enjoyed that alot.

[JeBatser]

Aah awesome! :']

[Highlandersforever]

I Hate The Beads ROTFGLMAO!!!!!!

[aeatkins]

:) hahaha...so good. makes me laugh every time!

[Skizz1979]

Nice, but ya could have done better with the singing. Nice job though.

[Boehsel]

sure, but i dont think thats the point of it. its not that bad that you cant listen to it ;)

i like it!

[darkgryphon42]

I agree with akb168; nice use of safety codes!

[stacyy3]

wheres the original?

[Orihalcon2086]

rofl.. man in sultry pose

[JohnQuesada]

Awesome work!

[akb168]

Very cool. Especially like the pointing out of OSHA safety violations at the end ;-)

[BigSlowTgt]

You sir are indeed a genius. Well done.

[karolloucao]

LOL.. THIS IS A VERY GREAT ONE!!

[LordOfJoy]

That's a good one!

[steven1guerin]

this should have more than 2000 views

[BuayaGuy]

LOL...this is one of my favorite 80's songs, but I didn't remember the video being THIS bad... :)

[groovecreature]

Hilarious! Great job!

[Cazadora77]

I've seen a lot of literal videos, and this one is great!

[LloydChristmas777]

LOL, Gold.

[gizzmeru]

HAhahahah this was great! :''DDD

" I'd be screwed if someone i dont know, like tried to throw a spear at me"

[TEAwithWent]

love it :-) love it :-)

[solitudinarian]

:-))) great!!! 5/5*

Still working on a literal video myself, will post it later on today I hope.

[Dark0blivion]

Precarious stack of books!

Excellent job on this literal music vid.

[michanita]

Why is the sultr guy unsafe-that recap of unsafe things was crackin me up---this video is a little strange I must admit

[dascottjr]

@michanita: Because when someone looking like that guy from The Hangover comes at you with a sultry pose, no good can come of it.

[michanita]

you so crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Silly

[backinblack7]

Hahahahaha nice one

[shmabbie517]

joshua, i love you to death!

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

weeeeey too funny , sweet post 5/5 *****

[FlamestrixWindfyre]

well done Sir!!!! you found the perfect angle...

"I pass the time by singing loud" :-)

[jutandchris]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Great work! Good Job!

Jut

[dascottjr]

Like I said, very amusing. The security/safety angle really tied it together.

[CzechMan89]

"Open Flame" is definitley unsafe
