This is the greatest music video ever made

Shocked that no one posted Total Eclipse of the Heart. British school boys with glowing eyes, doves, ninjas, fencers, constant wind machines. It's got it all!

My infant daughter loves this song so we've seen the video a lot recently and it's spectacular

I was coming here to post that link too. :)

I see a couple of people have remastered it, taking the 4K version and adding the literal audio track.

One of the best songs about vampires ever recorded

Fun* fact: the video was filmed in a former mental asylum.

*Depending on your definition of 'fun' ...

ahhh great minds!

I think I probably sing this version more than the original, even when the original is playing. Such an excellent parody!

damemyniah.bsky.social•21 hours ago

It’s my favourite of the Literal Versions

nocturnaldruid.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Same here. Closely followed by the one for Take On Me.

damemyniah.bsky.social•21 hours ago

That’s a good one! My other favourites are I Would Do Anything For Love & Safety Dance

I love this music video. Right up there with Take On Me.

A few years ago, Charlize Theron was on How Did This Get Made as they covered Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II and she got on a riff that it was filmed in the same school as this video. “You know, the video with the French boys and swords!”
