In today’s post I wanted to share my four favorite “literal versions of…” videos. For those of you who may not be aware of this phenomenon yet, these are videos where the song is re-recorded and the lyrics correspond to what is actually happening in the video. YouTube has a LOT of these, but not all of them are good. After watching them with Rene last night these are the four that I enjoy watching the most.

So I read Entertainment Weekly, mostly on the can, and they sometimes point out things that I don’t normally find on my own. This is one of those things. Lady Gaga’s new video. Almost eight minutes long. It is narrative. We haven’t seen one of these in a while (at least that I can remember) and I think that it is definitely worth a watch. I like it. It’s possible that I’m reading more into it then is intended but it worked for me. Let me know what you think.
