If you’re like me (and I would have to assume that you are), you probably spend a lot of your time wondering why song lyrics can’t be a lot more straightforward. Take, for example, Born in the U.S.A. You’d think it’s about some guy who’s born in the U.S.A., but no, it’s about communism or Ronald Reagan or something. So I appreciate it when someone can step forward and cut through the clutter, like with this video. Presented for your viewing pleasure, the literalist version of A Ha’s classic, Take On Me.

So much better, don’t you think? Now if someone could just explain to me what the hell’s happening when that guy’s slamming into the walls at the end. Is that how cartoon characters become real?
