Head Over Heels: Literal Video Version

Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do, in this second installment of literal videos!
Lyrics/singing: Dustin McLean
Voices: Jonah Ray, Priscilla McLean

[@rogerwilco1777]

Whenever I hear this on the radio I cant help singing, "Now I'll walk away and head over here"..

[@MegDent]

Now I’m floating back down to the ground floor, I never realized I could fly so easily…

[@ankiking]

I laughed so hard at that part in the song! 😂

[@minacapella8319]

I didn't know i... could fly so easily 😱

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

Lmaooo! I always hear, “Business in front, party in back!” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kmonster8565]

I know these lyrics more than the actual song's lyrics.

[@Dremag_Gaming]

It's been about 12 years since I was here. Nice to see this is still doing good.

[@darkl3ad3r]

Same Dan. Was scrolling through my KZbin liked playlist and went deep. 14.5 years later remembering this old video with my wife. We were just young 21 year olds when this came out. Great times.

[@RemmikRotus]

I’ve been with my wife almost 12 years. We were just cranking the big home stereo to the actual version of this song and made me think of the literal video. She found it funny but in a hardy har har kind of sarcastic way.

[@lilithjade4363]

oh my god same

[@gutshotgreaser]

Been looking for old KZbin heads like you guys to ask, does anyone remember the Jingle Bell Rock one? It was so good! They even made two versions of it back to back just like the Darryl and John versions. Both were the most hilarious things I had ever heard! Wish someone would bring it back

[@redwingtigergirl]

“Is that Dave Coulier?” gets me every time!

[@nancyomalley6286]

Now I know I wasn't the only one who thought he was Dave Coulier when the video came out in the 80's.

[@nyssakeith]

I hear it in my head every time this song plays 😂

[@deenamccarthy6177]

Short Boring Dave Coulier wishes he was as Hot as Ian Stanley!

[@zoeinnit2160]

Okay but why did the 'I think it's dumb' part match Curt's lips perfectly 😂

[@precisecalibre6986]

cause the lyrics are "nothing gets done" which would sync the mouth movements pretty well.

[@samdiponio1007]

I love the cool new sweater for only 40 dollars. And it's funny because when I watched the real video, I thought the guy was Dave Coulier too, as he looked on Full House.

[@raggedyanarchist]

"Now I'm walking and I'll head over here" was absolutely perfect.

[@omgiheartpie]

"is that Dave Coulier" "Throw this away" LOL I love how his voice changes in each, from low to high and then low to high. This song reeks of win

[@sapphire7424]

Been singing this version for donkeys years. Glad to see it back on yt. Best literal ever made ❤

[@ToPoucoMeLixando]

I love these videos. In this I laughed out loud at the "business in front, party in back".

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

😂😂😂😂 my favorite part!

[@downhomesunset]

We all wore these in the 1980s

[@JunKazamaFan]

I really love these "Literal Version" videos! They're all terrific and hilarious, including this one! My favorite parts of this one are, "When I open this, the cards all fly out.", "I'm gunna pull a gun on you, but don't be afraid. I'm silly, so...", and, "Do you like my mullet. Business in front, party in back!"! I love every part of this, though! Also, I like how the guy in the video looks confused when he "floats up to the next level in a magic chair"! Keep up the great work, DustoMcNeato!

[@GrizzyLatrizzy]

I haven't seen this in years! It was removed for so long, glad to see it back.

[@Norritt7167]

I literally always go back to listen this once a year or so.

[@monkadelic2]

When 'head over heels' and 'Take on me' pop into my head these days I hear the literal lyrics. Both brilliant.

[@BugJoJo75]

you did justice to them without mocking the eff out of the song LOVE IT

[@acrhivalvids390]

This is my favorite video ever!!!! Whenever I need a good laugh I watch HoH Literal😂 BTW I’m a HUGE Tears For Fears fan. I have front row center for one of their summer 2023 shows and I plan to sing your lyrics during HoH. 😅

[@TyroneSlothrop71]

This video is so hilarious! In fact in the original there's quite a bunch of absurdities, and your lyrics just highlight the funniest moments. Thank you, mate, very much appreciated!

[@LuigiPlaysBass]

Hands down best literal version of any song. You SHOULD win an award for this. 5 stars.

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

“Is that Dave Coulier?” “A specific book about a Rabbi and black guy” “Do you like my, MULLLLEETTTT” “Business in front, party in back!” 😂😂😂😂

[@PM-lz4cj]

I have replaced these lyrics for the real ones, anytime I hear this song. Best you guys ever did.

[@snivylink2119]

oh my god the guy even sounds like roland

[@carabean78]

One of my favorite songs/videos from the 80s. BRILLIANT literal interpretation! I love love LOVE it...and your voice is great too!

[@macreviews94]

This may be the best literal video I have ever seen... I've watched it like 50 times and it still makes me smile, good job

[@bcorbin]

This is by far my favorite literal video!!!

[@Fiddlemaster56]

How in the WORLD do you get your voice to sound so close to him? In all your videos you're right on. Not to mention you can sing and hit the same tough notes. Incredibly talented!

[@AbsoluteDemonling]

Oh man, this never gets old! I must have watched it five times already! It's so funny when his mouth actually mathes what you're singing ("I never realized") "I'm returning a book" always gets me, though.

[@mlinn1980]

I am a HUGE fan of Tears For Fears, and this is my favorite of theirs, but you are amazing :P

[@reneh5]

What makes this video different from other literal versions is that is not only a very good adaptation of the singer to the original one but also add some creative phrases and they are told in a funny way like "you have really big glasses" or "I wish that they were better" when refering to the books, that has nothing to do with the video but it adds funny value. I just love it.

[@vanessapurdy4143]

for almost 15 years this has been the only version of this song i know the lyrics to. a truly iconic work of genius imo thanks for making this

[@CiscoDuck]

You sound just like Roland! :) Love it!

[@carabean78]

One of my favorite 80s songs/videos of all time. The literal one is AMAZING! Watch it all the time. Thank you! :)

[@Roberto4ever]

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

[@JessicaClariceElsener]

I usually go a year or so, then remember this exists. Watch it 10-20× in a row. Rinse, repeat.

[@jcastanza]

Haha “is that Dave Coullier” best part!

[@hurlyburly5395]

You have really big glasses my be my favourite moment of all time.

[@bijou201]

"is that dave coulier" LOL This is one of the best literal video versions, good Job!

[@eduardo_corrochio]

How am I just finding this today? This is hilarious, and so well done. I see there are a handful on this YT channel but it seems other people do literal videos as well. Amazing that I never stumbled upon this before. This is like when I first found the Star Wars 1977 "Bad Lip Reading" video and was laughing like a mental patient.

[@ken1w]

Your "original" literal videos are the best. You know how to write good (and funny) lyrics. And most important of all, you can actually sing as well as the original artists (and even sound like them). This one is my favorite; hope you get to do some more...

[@joshgellis3292]

It probably is in fact, Dave Coulier. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@troy65]

Absolutely BRILLIANT! :))))))

[@kebas239]

The "check out my brand new sweater" part always gets me. I JUST BOUGHT IT - ITS FROM THE GAP!

[@mariflame1821]

😅 first time I watch this... 😅 Love TFF and this song

[@callmeanarchitect]

Haha, I love the original song, but this literal version tickled me :) Fantastic job of matching the vocal style to the original btw! (In your other vids too)

[@garymichael1950]

As someone who has written a ton of parody songs I know how hard it is to do..it's even harder to make it really funny..it's even harder to make it funny for almost 4 minutes..You nailed it. Brilliant stuff. Do a few hundred more.

[@RaccoonGaming2112]

I just found this and it's tormenting me, stuck in my head 😂

[@freedomthroughspirit]

Dave Coulier! 😆😆😆

[@kmcamike]

Update May 2023, 532 people don't have a stack of books to return.

[@BruceAlarie]

ive never heard of a literal video and im older than the solar system! what have i been missing!! awesome

[@justpaul899]

So glad to see these videos back on-line, on Dustin's page where they belong. One of my all time favorites :)

[@aReallySwellGuy]

I’m probably 1000 of these views over the course of my life

[@nnylasoR]

This made me LOL over and over again. I especially liked "...mullet...business in front, party in back..." !! And hahaha@ "now I'll walk away and head over here..." and "Is that Dave Coulier? " Thanks for the big laughs! Gonna go share this on my FB and check out your other "works" now.... *high-five!* Blessings...

[@karlwho1]

Ialmost stopped it, then you hooked me! I LOVE it! Thanks! Gonna check your other stuff too. Thanks for a much needed laugh!

[@abundantlyjoyful77]

AWESOME! God bless you DustoMcNeato. 2.18 the gun part was the best and singing all the way back down of course. It made me feel that once-in-a-while nice sensation that life is always worth living! Being SILLY is what life is actually all about!

[@sixfoot0]

dude that was fuggin neat!! .I had to watch it again cause I was laughing so hard! do some more please!

[@KameSennin4209]

I've been looking for this since about 2009

[@mymoochoo]

[@gunarmagni6276]

[@JoseDelgado-il2nj]

[@EdnaFrom85]

You are a genius, whoever created this!!!! "Now I'll walk away and I'll head over here" "When I open this all the cards will fly out I saw Ghostbusters, this copied that Now, now, now play the keyboard!"
