"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!

It was a fun idea and quite good fun the first time I saw it, but it didn't really make me laugh as much as I have at other stuff

Hmm. Not sure what all the fuss is about. Mildly amusing I guess. But, like a Will Ferrell movie, once you've got the gag, it's pretty boring from then on.
