Literal music videos

A literal music video , is when the lyrics in the video have been changed in order to match the visuals that are taking place throughout the video- the whole idea of it is that it is basically a parody of the original.

A prime example of a good Literal music video- would be one taken from James Blunts song- You're beautiful- which is here:




Then here below is the literal version:



This is a good example of a literal video because it uses the concept perfectly. Whoever has created this version has just gone through the song and chosen adapted lyrics, to literally list everything that goes on through out the video. If you watch the video fully, every line of lyric matches to whatever is happening visually. The person that has created this also in order to make fun of/ mug of the original artists James blunt, not only do the lyrics do this, but the creator has sung it trying to mimic James Blunts voice.

Another good example would be using the song- Total eclipse of the heart- Bonnie Tyler
Here is the original:



Then again here is the literal video-



Again this video is using the exact same concepts, matching the adapted lyrics they have created in order to link with the visuals. As well as, similarly in the James Blunt video making the orignal artists and the video look a fool.
