Music video edited by me, for the song "Je Suis Rick Springfield" by Jonathan Coulton (from his 2011 album, "Artificial Heart").
This video for "Je Suis Rick Springfield" is from the point of view of a monkey waiter in Japan, who cannot communicate his belief that he is Rick Springfield to his owners due to the fact that he only understands rudimentary French (and not Japanese). Whether he is actually Rick Springfield trapped in the body of a monkey, or just a delusional primate, is up to the viewer to decide.
Original French lyrics and English translation are on this page:

This is a music video I've edited for the Portal song "Still Alive" by Jonathan Coulton (from his 2011 album, "Artificial Heart," produced by John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants) using public domain films found on Archive.org. I wanted to avoid making any overt references to the game Portal, or to recreate the video game for this music video (since there are already plenty of those videos to be found online, anyway). My ultimate goal was to make a video that suited this particular version of the song.
"Still Alive" features Sara Quin (of Tegan and Sara) on lead vocals and Dorit Chrysler playing the theremin (please see links below).
"Still Alive" was originally created for the hit video game Portal:
