Literally the coolest music video ever

Here's the video that's causing all the buzz lately on the Internet. It's called the "literal version" of a-ha's Take on Me video -- the lyrics have been changed to simply describe what's going on in the video. Dustin McLean, an award-winning animator and musician whose work has appeared on TV's Bravo and BBC networks, is the mastermind behind it.

"Holy cow, the Take On Me video is BLOWIN' UP!," McLean writes on his Web site. "I never imagined it would be so popular, in 3 days it's already up to 35,000 views and climbing very fast!"

McLean promises that similar videos are on the way soon.
