Jun 2 2009Literal Video: Total Eclipse Of The Heart
This is a literal video for Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the 80's were wack as a mother. Of course, current music videos could be just as weird, but I don't watch MTV because I'm not in middle school anymore. Kidding, cable got cut off.

Thanks to shane, who literally video'd himself banging his girlfriend.

Ah Killer Instinct.... Get cheap on your ass with Glacius and Infernus or knock you out with Jade's ever popular Boobality!

Wow... That was funny as hell. Probably funnier than that Rick Astley video.
I gotta admit tho, ain't nothing more literal than that.
13. Anon - June 2, 2009 1:13 PM
That was funny.
Now I need a mop.

The beginning was strong but it dies out fast. Not as good as literal "Take on Me."
15. GRAMMARNAZI - June 2, 2009 2:12 PM
Can't believe I watched the whole thing.
16. turtoise - June 2, 2009 2:44 PM
where the hell is DAISY
17. drbendy - June 2, 2009 3:13 PM
Not as good as Take On Me, not even as good as Head Over Heels. the fact that the girls voice was flatter than a plate of piss didn't help.

Who posted this karaoke vid?
19. TetraShiva - June 2, 2009 3:39 PM

21. Jaded Icon - June 2, 2009 6:11 PM
Hmmmmmm..........approve. But BARELY!
22. Cambria - June 2, 2009 7:26 PM
That......sucked. A few funny moments, but in general, a terrible literal video.
23. cliosguy - June 2, 2009 10:06 PM
AWESOME!
24. Kidiu - June 3, 2009 1:01 AM
...the lyrics are retarded.
25. father knows best - June 3, 2009 5:00 AM
Um...I think maybe you all need to look up the definition of "literal" and then the definition of "funny", which is what these are supposed to be. This is by far the best one I've found - way better than Take on Me. Yes it sags a bit in the middle, but the original video is pretty damn long to begin with.
I think you'd all enjoy Careless Whispers - get it? He's gay but won't admit it! (now repeat that joke over and over for entire video, which, thankfully isn't as long as Total Eclipse).

I personally thought this was the funniest of all of them. Then again I grew up watching this crap... So it's great to watch it ripped apart!! HAHA!
28. Cyrius EAD - June 3, 2009 6:16 PM
Wel... What can I say.... SPOOKY !
29. sydrduke - June 3, 2009 10:55 PM
that was amazing.
30. cool-slayer - June 4, 2009 1:06 PM
I think the video was already hilarious enough without the literal version!
31. Apysape - June 11, 2009 7:09 AM
There are too many haters on this comments page!!!
I'm now obsessed with this video and my stomach hurts from laughing every time we watch it. Miles above any of the other literal videos I've watched, probably because the video is just so bizarre, and her voice sounds the most like the original.
32. minnie - June 26, 2009 1:27 PM
this is probably the best thing i've seen on the internet. so far. they need to make many, many more. the 80's just put out so much wonderful crap, its a gold mine.
"what the effing crap? that angel guy just felt me up!"
33. Wolc - July 24, 2009 7:21 PM
OK. It was fun, but the pee jokes where too cheap
