James Blunt's You're Beautiful: The Literal Version
This literal video isn't made by the originators of this genius concept, but its wonky tribute to the genre is pretty good. The singer's cracking voice plus the crackling audio quality definitely add to the absurdity. (And is it just me, or is James Blunt really beautiful annoying?)
Billy Idol's White Wedding: The Literal Version
I am beside myself with excitement. I love these literal videos, and it's about time they came up with another one. This time the geniuses at Dust Films have literalized Billy Idol's "White Wedding," and it was well worth the wait!
Under the Bridge: The Literal Version
I don't know why I'm so amused by these literal versions of videos, but I am. This one's not as good as the A-Ha vid or the Tears For Fears vid, but it's still quite amusing, especially when we get to watch Anthony Kiedis's pecs in slo-mo. Good times.
Head Over Heels: The Literal Version
I'm so glad my hunch was right, and literal music videos are the next big thing! And I love this song. I bet back in the '80s they were all, "Let's make a video about a freaky library, it's gonna be awesome!"
A-Ha's "Take On Me": The Literal Version
I hope this starts a trend in music video mashups. It's like "Mystery Science Theater" meets VH1's "Pop-Up Video." (Or something like that.) The formula?

Girl Crush du Jour: Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I love when the female lead of a band commands the stage, and Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, a New York City-based indie electro pop-rock trio, has talent and charisma to spare. (And check out this girl's style! To die for.) From her crazy dancing, to her amazing voice, to her talent for rocking punky bowl-cuts (and crimson red lips), Karen O rocks.
Another Awesome Training Video
In addition to the Oscar-worthy performances by Cashier and Manager as well as from the drunk dude and his embarrassed wife, there is something else noteworthy about this training video. Aside from suggesting that one should call a manager when a stumbling drunk asks you to ring up his liter of vodka, this video really doesn't train you how to handle anything! What if wifey didn't show up to drag her husband's drunk ass out of the store — then what?

What Is Your Favorite Lighten Up Moment?
There is no shortage of political fodder for comedians in 2008. The campaign season took off with Stephen Colbert's Doritos-sponsored run for president. When his presidential dreams were broken into shards of bottom-of-the-bag chips, we turned to the feisty Democratic primary.
