Literal Version: Talking Heads (once in a lifetime)

[LBUK2010]

Lol its the Queen 0:00

[jerzeytpke]

fuking brilliant LMFAO!

[luno44]

If it's more like a literal/ parody, why isn't it called a literal/ parody?

[5of12]

"And I might find myself, eating cake, with your mom" Best Christopher Walken impersonation.

[rockandrollguy87]

what the heck was that guy doing in the start of the video

[MrMultiGilligan]

I like this literal video.

[nic1357]

this isnt very funny

[febe2009]

hahahahahahah ah good job :')

[hadders81]

That scared the life outta me! I'll probably have nightmares tonight!

[Foxglurves]

Hahaha I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. :)

[c0mf0rta61ynum6]

Can anybody tell me where I can get a mushroom pie?

[UncleMikeNJ]

You may ask yourself, "Why did I ever watch this piece of crap video?" And now you have your answer.

[rpmangin]

sweatier than i ever was LOL

[ShenaniganMeadows]

I love the original song, but you gotta admit this parody is hilarious

[Torchnpitchfork]

LOL, that was hilarious. Probalby my second favorite literal video.

[kapwinger]

ugh it ruined the song

[eternal0star]

First half was pretty great. Second half felt kind of... phoned in.

[SheddyShankbone]

I favored this video immediately after I heard the line, "and I might shit myself and eat cake with your mom."

[ghellogm]

You even sound a bit like Byrne, in places!

[hudooguru]

as a medium sized Talking Heads fan I gotta believe this is stupid...doesn't anybody know what "literal" means?

[VTPPGLVR]

Just watched "Whose Line is it Anyway" where they were doing a song in the style of Talking Heads. And they acted just like the "Once in a Lifetime" vid. (^.^) And I had to watch the parody again.

[lanslater]

its a tad funny in a satirical way and this one didnt completely ruin the music.. well dubbed ..singing clown types

[jonandra]

This is my favorite Talking Heads song, and I laughed my rear off at this parody! LMAO!!

[piggy978]

ahahaha nice!! (and thats coming from a Talking Heads fan)

[rodrietm1993]

exelente esperctacular viedeo :)

[spencegame]

If you can't laugh at it you can't respect it.

[talladegajunkie1439]

Why do I think the Heads would do this version of the song??

[russianroulettepro]

LOL This is AWESOME

[bklynmosmvp]

hillariously  done

[notabanana2]

LMFAO DAVID BYRNE IS A GENIUS THO

[louiemiro]

Thanks. Wonderful. Keep 'em coming. Jx

[jansongs]

I m a Heads fan and this was so funny it hurt, I had to stop laughing halfway thru as I was in so much pain. Thanks (?)

[deucezrwild1]

cheesy water effects background....HOLY SHIT THIS IS HYSTERICAL ! ! ! IT'S CONVULSION TIME!!! HAHAHAHAHA

[drdr64f]

when i first saw this i thought it was actually done by talking heads and it made perfect sense to me.

[drfreezepop]

LOL

The sleeping pills and mushrooms parts were funny

[starwars4reel]

Super funny

[TheRollingStoner91]

oldfags gonna hate. I like the original version, but this is fucking funny. thumbs up in my book, I say!

[RememberTheEighties]

ha ha ha that was funny

[drfreezepop]

This is good too:

You may find yourself eating a bottle of pills

You may find yourself in another part of the world

You may find yourself having parkensons

You may find yourself abusing painkillers, with a bit of LSD

You may ask yourself: well... how did I get here?

I have parkensons/damn DNA

I have more crack than mexico/Drug trade undeground!

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

I am tripping ballz

[drfreezepop]

LOL!

[drfreezepop]

There should be

I NOW HAVE PARKENSONEENS!

[chuobio]

0:56-1:14  Nice progression

[esalian9]

One of the most underrated literal music videos.

[TheBnmghjk]

better than the original.

[robbymadore]

this is fucking hilarious, especially the robbatussin part.

[Kelticviking]

what the hell who would dislike this it is pure genius

[Cynjok]

This was one of my favorite early MTV videos. My best friend and I used to make fun of it though we loved the song. Good job and thanks.

[MrDidjcripey]

Congratulations, this takes the profound, and makes it profane, and piss myself funny.

[weareclouds]

This is one of my favorite 80s songs. And, you did an amazing literal video of it. One of the funniest I've seen.

[RevAndroid]

That was epic! Good job.

[cesaramoga]

excellent work dude. thanks for sharing

[thebluefont]

Pretty ingenious,,, Kudos

[Kelticviking]

this is the coolest thing

[talladegajunkie1439]

WHO THE FUCK IS PUNCHING ME?!?

[sheltech12]

I love TH and DB and I'm not against the idea of this,

don't find it offensive but it's crime is lameness , being

only marginally funny but mostly stupid

[ENHarris]

LOL!!!! Nice parody dude.-hee-hee.

[shxchiy]

NyAHahAHaHAahAHahAH!

"It's convulsion time" suited perfectly XD

NyAHahAAHahAHahAHaAH!

[acrttdriver]

@gstryker18 And I'm sure "your" opinion matters.....not

Lighten up.....it's suppose to be a parody

[gstryker18]

@acrttdriver Yea and im saying its really DUMB!

[allaboutthechase]

thanks for watching

[ArmoredFelix]

@allaboutthechase Really this is incredibly racist and does not recognize the greatness or beauty of this song. You are not only a racist you're a race traitor.

[toyotaguyjeff]

@gstryker18 As a big Talking Heads fan I gotta believe they would thing this is hilarious.

[dallasdoby3]

@gstryker18 I'm with you this is fucking bullshit. DB would slap this silly little shit to death.

[sharpedgedguy]

He's really a clock, marking off each tick of his life "time". (once in a "lifetime")

... then coming up out the sea of time, for once, asking some questions.

(especially now, ... after the money's gone. 'course, it might help to re-assure yourself: "same as it ever was ! same as it ever was !", or, "there's no place like home", in case it's all just a dream.

But, you can make up your own words, ... that'll be once in your lifetime.

[whatsthisfor519]

Chopping my arm up...

[gerberlady]

This was Great, even David would like it I think

[ponygirl007007]

this is so dam funny.

[gerberlady]

and I thought it was only me



[Hexobot99]

2:10 "and i might shit myself and eat cake with your mom" epic!!!!

[Amusement73]

Very funny:) Bravo!

[612franklin]

Man Knows

[bigman1225]

Out of all the lameass parodies out there on youtube, I'd have to say I had a good laugh with this one.

[wattstarr911]

well choke my chicken and call me corn dog

[cjd1958]

Its funny but you need to drop the M.J. Fox reference.......

[armadillozenith]

pretty neatly done, amusing to see

[dominoize]

fun

[booknplays]

I love the original, but this is so fun! Thanks!

[sensweep]

I wasn't expecting much from this video, but i was pleasantly surprised

[socallmenothing]

The suit parts are brilliant, but you're too reliant on drug jokes.  Granted, it is Talking Heads, so I guess it was inevitable.

[MaryStewart]

haha!

[Lonkka665]

The original is brilliant and this is funny as hell -good stuff!

[GoldenGhettoFilms]

lol

[droWedroWe]

bullshit!

[ElenaBirdFly]

All secrets are revealed. Congratulations on the original and on this little gem.

[ncholette]

You are missing the point and the meaning of the original. But hey don't worry it take

[tibbe9393]

Finally leaving for the wild western parts of Sweden. The outskirts of Civilisation.

I might find myself peeking at topless tribal girls...

[beartyincognito]

[PazouwhProductions]

[bluestar66677]

[kimblers]

"Where is that invisible boxing midget?" LOL,,,that was funny. Was the epilepsy joke needed? That is hard shit to live with.

[MeFlerg]

I wasn't expecting to like it after the description... but really nice job... I actually laughed out loud a few times. and to anyone who is offended because they know the original... it's called humour... get to know it, it's your friend.

Also the Micheal J Fox part... is a bit harsh... butthats what makes it funny... and no one is above being made fun of... NOBODY.

[RockCleric420]

David byrne is a genius so that makes you a super genius nice!

[FelizJesusbirth]

Where is that invisible boxing midget?

[CatsEyes2010]

The guys voice is really annoying but the lyrics are funny as hell :)

[skimarcus]

Awesome. The original is actually my favorite song, but I still love this.

[ifnord]

[WolfgangFierce]

@allaboutthechase The Western Hunnic Empire stretched from the steppes of Central Asia into modern Germany, and from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea.

[ethanizabunny]

@allaboutthechase i think heloise121 is from maine...

[alansmisclass]

@heloise121

...just as educated people get offended whenever idiots are unable to type a single sentence without spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors.
