Literal Versions Of Music Videos

Every once in a while, I am surprised by the creativity and skill of people creating YouTube videos. The current interest is “literal videos”: people taking video clips of songs and replacing the singing with their own singing. They're not singing the actual lines though, but their own version. The “literal” aspect of it all, is that they're singing about what is happening in the video, at the same tempo as the original song. Below is a version of Total Eclipse of the Heart, which I like best.



Many more videos can be found as a YouTube playlist. Be warned though, some singers are more skilled than others.
