"What are they doing with my magic frame?"

Posted Thu 9 Oct 2008 3:52PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist
We've almost been left speechless by Dustin McLean's literal take on A-ha's seminal music video ‘Take On Me'.

Dispensing with the song's original lyrics but keeping the original melody, Dustin proceeds to describe the video in minute detail.

It makes for astounding viewing. Don't miss the chase scene about 2 minutes in - "What are they doing with my magic frame?". Brilliant!

oh come on, you gotta admit it that it was a slightly cleverly put together, the new words went well with the video, it was a cheesy song and video to start of with, now the new lyrics just walk you through the story, if you people who cant even see te funny side of it, then i think you need to open your minds a little bit more....

Brilliant -- just the kind of idiotic lyrics I make up for songs. Do more!
