With Arms Wide Open - Literal Video Version

December 2020 edit: Has it really been that long since I made this? Dang.
Comment down below if you want me to do another one.

[@fancyghouls]

a dear friend to me passed on saturday. we used to ALWAYS listen to this and quote it at one another. it popped into my head and i immediately scrambled to find it on youtube, then proceeded to cry & laugh as i remembered how she used to do the EXACT voice, quoting this over skype at 2am. one of her favorite lines was "takin' a cave bath, now i am so clean!" glad the ancient texts have still been maintained, lmao. i'll miss you forever, susan.

[@wonderstew]

❤️

[@gt9359]

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️

[@BudgetFilmmaking]

I'm glad your friend left some laughter behind.

[@amandahankins2731]

❤

[@AdamLuedtkeCUNY]

Years later, "pee pee nah nah blah" still gets a literal LOL outta me every time.

[@lucasblanchard47]

Glad I found this again so many years later simply because I remembered the line “my band is magic” 😂

[@wonderstew]

Do you know where they came from?

[@TheeAugustCaesar]

Do you guys remember the separate ways by journey one?

[@EyesOfACrow]

Commented on this video 11 years ago.. and is till think Pee Pee nah nah blah is the greatest lyrical master peice ever

[@astrophilosophe]

I love you, I just want you to know this. This song has brought me joy for nearly a decade and a half. Pretty sure I had to watch this on Vimeo for like several years since it was not on KZbin, but here we are.... God bless

[@wonderstew]

Love you right back. Joy is so vitally important and it’s incredibly meaningful to hear that with this ridiculous video I’ve helped spread even a little bit of happiness. And yeah Sony nuked it for copyright infringement after it had only been up for a few weeks. Then the block expired after a decade so it magically reappeared! Anyway, happy holidays internet friend. I hope you’re doing well.

[@anaditullio]

It's been almost 10 years since I've watched this, today heard the original song on the radio and remembered this gem! 🤣

[@sailorsenmurv]

"Is that Sauron's Eye? I'll ask my Magic Band"!! LOL!! CLASSIC!!

[@jasonjuneau8822]

I lost it at "I need Bruce Willis" XD

[@joseeugeniojr]

I think I remember this version's lyrics better than the original's one. It's 2020 and this video is still great.

[@senyayubi]

2024 and still feels like yesterday.

[@mg12nwf]

"It's Armageddon!" "Taking a cave bath!" Two of the funniest parts of the video! The whole thing was just hilarious!! 5/5 stars

[@dark_neverland]

Go check out the rest of Dusto McNeato's literal video. Funny or Die or College Humor is where they're hosted. Because youtube is stupid....bless this acct for uploading this particular one. This video is always the hardest to find

[@kimmyfreak200]

woulda been funnier if at the end when he is on top of the mountain he shoulda have said "i'm the king of the worrrrld"

[@Loglam]

13 years later and I’m still laughing.

[@dwayne601]

Santa could bring me two guitars and I would never be as cool as that guy in his band!

[@astrophilosophe]

I watch this video like once a week if you're the original creator I'm so glad it's on KZbin I feel for like 3 years I had to go find it on Vimeo to listen to or something lol. Bless you

[@Skjoldulfr93]

12 years later, I wonder why I fucking love doing Creed Impressions. It all started here.

[@zoranadragonkyn]

I'm not afraid of heights when I wear leather pants. I just giggle every time. I love this video.

[@hunnychile86]

i can't get over the "pee pee naa naa blah" part, lmao! how he even got through the rest of the song w/o laughing at himself is a miracle. i mean how does one keep a straight face saying that??? man my sides are hurting from laughing so hard!!

[@crunchy_milkk8711]

Taylor Riley sent me here and OMFG, I laughed so hard I cried 😂

[@sulsirxx1945]

Olive girl 1873 me to

[@natalie7873]

creepy trash same😂😂 "WhAt ThE CrAp"

[@thatoneperson8942]

Same “WhAT tHe CrAp” XD

[@BintKay]

I came back here after all these years because I still find this hilarious till this day. Miss this kind of humour!

[@TheMovingPiano14]

The "I am awesome" bit at the end is just gold. i laugh so hard every time, it's perfect especially cuz u can tell from the pose he's striking that he SOOO thinks he is :)

[@thecamryboi]

You know what i love about this video, even years later? It has absolutely no offensive "jokes" or even swearing, which is a pass for me. But oh fuck, this has me rolling each time. XD

[@SefEXE]

I don't know why it took me so long, but I'm glad I found this again. I wish I had a 1080P HD version, hahaha.

[@wonderstew]

SefEXE Me too. I made it so long ago though. I guess I assumed that HD fad would never catch on...

[@Chiiip420]

@@wonderstew absolute legend for making this man. Huge part of my childhood

[@MioConechado]

O Cristo Redentor, in Rio De Jainero.

[@robynn0405]

AHahahaha! I don't even know which line to quote! It's all hilarious! "WHAT THE CRAP. ROCKS FALLING FROM THE SKY." Hahahaha! That's great!

[@FreakingHulkGaming]

"I NEED BRUCE WILLIS"

[@AshleyBergman77]

I was unsure about this one at first, but I ended up really enjoying it-- I love the pop culture references, like Bruce Willis and Sauron, great.

[@mas9dj]

definately the best literal music video I've seen, pure awesomeness

[@theasphole]

had me at lion king!!! please make another...been watching this forever

[@RachelLaurenR]

dude, this is one of the best literal videos on here I've seen! You MUST do more creed literal videos lol!

[@antieuclid]

By far the best of these literal videos that I've seen. "I'm not afraid of heights when I wear leather pants".

[@cotss2012]

Definitely one of the best "literal versions" out there! 5 stars.

[@MrOrcen]

The world needs more literal video versions, this and Take on Me are my favorites, after 12 years I couldn't find anything better

[@Gabe12313]

You gotta see the under the bridge one 😂

[@ramvee123]

Total Eclipse of the Heart is a good one, too

[@IowaContact]

"I'm flying Jack!" absolutely slays me every time

[@muttstudios9731]

I randomly remembered about this just the other day so I had to listen to it again lolol. A true classic 👌 It will always live in my head rent free and happily

[@Carrie120505]

This is INCREDIBLY a lot better than the actual song. Hahaha. I think I literally laughed my ass off, didn't know that was possible, I'll have to attend to that later. "I'm not afraid of heights when I wear leather pants" Amazing. "I need Bruce Willis" - LMAO! "I hope Santa brings me one so I can look as cool as that guy in my band" omg, this whole thing is brilliant!

[@JuvenileStacks]

This channel is so underrated 😩 3 videos, two of which came out recently? Man, I've been coming back to this video since I was in high school, and this month is my 32nd birthday 😬 I love this video, it's so nostalgic. I bring up "O Cristo Redemptor, In Rio DE Geneiro" all the time still 😂

[@musicislove90]

one of the best literal versions I've heard. haha love it.

[@venichen1]

Glad I found this legendary video again.

[@PILOSOPAUL]

O CRISTO REDENTOR just killed me

[@mirrorcleworld]

These lyrics are some of my favorites from any literal mv I've seen.

[@smileywoman]

You have a great singing voice. This sounds like a real song and not just a parody.

[@astrophilosophe]

The guy who made this cover is truly in my opinion, a god. He created something profound out of nothing, I hope he is happy until the end of time.

[@EmmaDilemma007]

"I'm wearing shiny pants, now they look extra shiny" LOL =P I love literal videos!

[@saintvladislav1886]

haha This is my favorite Literal Video. It's the only one I can watch over and over and still laugh like hell. "I'm flying Jack!"

[@Aeroldoth3]

1:02 "... that guitar's phallic..."

[@azul25]

My stomach is hurting so much from laughing, just laughing like a crazy woman. Absolutely brilliant!

[@raddx]

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@shamusbob7969]

12 years later I still think about Shiny Clothes are even more Shiny. I forgot about My Band is Magic... No ego no boosting, just thinks his band might have magical abilities.

[@soniamaiden]

I NEED BRUCE WILLIS,,,,JAJAJAAJAAJAJJAAJAJ

[@slackolantern]

"Is that Sauron's eye? I'll ask my magic band." A RING IS ALSO CALLED A BAND HOLY SHIT

[@IcePhoenix302]

Pee pee nah nah blah, is what it looks like I'm saying. :P

[@Icicle0424]

it's a good thing he went into that tower, and then the cave, and then the water in the cave... to get out of the rain..

[@191trout]

191 people are afraid of heights when they wear leather pants

[@jefferyjones8399]

Every few years this pops into my head and I have to watch it.

[@wonderstew]

Every few watches this years into my head and I have to pop it.

[@megamankid20783]

you sound just like him hahahah

[@JellicleKitten]

This is great. The Cristo Redentor caught me completely off guard. Do another one soon!!

[@krichelleteriini3221]

Pee Pee naa naaa blah 2018

[@rubinajo]

No matter how lousy my day giggling is guaranteed when I watch this video.

[@kurcinn]

I watched it at least 20 times last days. Incredible! Singing also perfect. Congratz again

[@ThinPeter]

Amen, brother. They rule! Listen to the guitar solo in this song. It's so brilliant. At first, it seems as though he's only playing the same 6 notes until you really listen and realize it's more like 8 or 9 in slightly different order. Brilliant.

[@kimicabanna]

I'm flying Jack!! haha This one wasn't as literal as the other literal videos I have seen - but it was freakin enjoyable!

[@1rhpsfan]

Did anybody into the night? It deserves a literal version.

[@muddypawsdogtraining]

This might be the funniest thing I have seen in a very long time. I hate the original but LOVE this version. Thanks for making it!

[@kkreslins1]

Amen to that. I died laughing at that part too - I still do! My brother and I quote it all the time. Genius!

[@KawaHato]

this so funny, definitely one of the good ones on here. i've watched it so many times now, lmao.

[@meggiemufin]

I think I like these lyrics better than the actual ones! XD I found myself singing "MY BAND IS MAGIC!!" when it came on the radio the other day. Good job :D

[@giuliafelix]

I love love LOVE how you mimic the voice!

[@jesuscastillo8124]

Man had to look this up again after all these years.

[@IAmTamriver]

Pee pee nah nah blah still makes me laugh after all these years

[@Tripwire4]

I've watched it 4 or 5 times and I still lawl at the magic band. Good vocal cover too, shit is cash.

[@ryu03xism]

the "pee pee nah nah blah" still kills me :D

[@excellentzdn608]

This was one of the first things I watched on KZbin back in like 6th grade lmao 😂

[@robinstruempler]

i seriously watch this video every week! so good for a laugh! thanks for posting...

[@RebelwithMacaws]

This is too good for words..........except maybe PERFECTION!! Love it! Nice job!

[@blackhavocjim]

You watch the video a MILLION times and then you work line by line.

[@bruxinth4660]

I am so glad these are still around!

[@theasphole]

this will literally fix a day my babymama has royally effed up. thank you

[@almanseaton]

this is one of the best literal versions going, along with, aha, tears for fears and red hot chillis, the bell is broken...too Lol

[@LuisManuelSG1]

only few internet videos still make fun after so many years omg

[@duzhai]

Definitely one of the most awesome vids I've ever watched! 5 stars!

[@dracosummoner]

I'm something of a Creed fan myself, but that was absolutely hilarious.

[@JustToFallAsleep]

I think you did this amazingly! Your voice is really perfect for creed! Would love it if you did another for them.

[@SheiDarksbane]

I laugh so hard every time I watch this, man... My mate and I have been watching it too much lately, methinks. :) I get a real kick out of the whole "Taking a cave bath" bit. :P that was just clever. And truly, I have to complement your singing because you REALLY sound like Creed. lol Except for the "I'm flying Jack" part, we really love this vid. That part kinda throws the beginning off a bit but hell, I don't think I coulda done better. :P You rock!

[@wiresandwood]

This is sheer genious! I keep laughing out loud to myself thinking about this vid. "It's Armageddon. I need Bruce Willis." and the random pot were the best things of my life. I was guffawing at every single line! "Since I wore shiny clothes, now they look extra shiny"

[@GirlieMay09]

this is by far the funniest thing i have seen in a long time!!! gonna show everyone and im gonna watch it til they make me stop lol

[@Linri]

I will forever love this. Even 12 years later. XD

[@jukeboxhero420]

I love the Mufasa cameo, and 'O Cristo Redentor'. Did not expect that, lol

[@dark_neverland]

Still getting my laughs in 2020. "I'm a spelunker & I'm in a cave, pee pee nah nah blah is what it looks like I'm saying"

[@jkingy420]

dude, this is pure genius. i was laughing my ass off. wish i would've come up with that.

[@itisntPurple]

LOL! I don't even know which part is my favorite. Quite possibly "What the crap? ... I need Bruce Willis" Wonderful voice on this one.

[@dwill436]

Im in Iraq right now, and i still watch this video every chance i get, probably one of the best on KZbin

[@suchyky]

this makes my day, everyday. thank you sooo much.

[@birgvel]

At first I thought it was funny, but nothing spectacular..but "pee pee naa naaa blah" is where I started loving this video! From thereon and out it's pure gold!

[@lauratiso]

A friend of mine went to a cave and posted some pictures on Facebook. I immediately remembered this video. Pee pee nah nah blah.

[@DiamonDie1]

Some parts felt a bit forced, but the Titanic reference totally cracked me up to the point of tears.

[@informationplz]

Creed has been transformed into funny like" haha" from funny like "wow this sux.". Great stuff! Here's a random pot., genius!

[@LegendaryASonic]

takin' a cave bath, now i am so clean! ahh love this, it deserves more views.

[@leftcoastvagrant]

Dude.... I just died watching this. I died. You are awesome. I'm watching it again.

[@COD4snipefreak]

so this is my friend and I's super inside joke and has brought many lols throughout the past year and a half. i salute you sir

[@LilySleeper]

Is that Sauron's eye? I'll ask my magic band! priceless!

[@NIKKINY1204]

The best literal video ever! tears everytime i watch it!
