		<description><![CDATA[<p>I am not really a fan of these &#8220;literal videos&#8221; where you change the lyrics of the song to describe what is exactly being done in the video. But this video by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/dascottjr">dascottjr</a> is brilliant! His witty lyrics got me rolling on the floor laughing. Makes me wonder what the hell were they thinking when they made the original music video in the first place.</p>
<p>I was going over the comments in YouTube, and I found one comment who was a bit disappointed with the singer because she couldn&#8217;t reach the high notes. Actually, I was wondering how she pulled this off without laughing. After watching this video, I will never sing this song in karaoke. If I ever do, I&#8217;ll either laugh out loud or sing the literal version instead. Wahaha!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">(You can get a text version of the lyrics under the cut.)</p>
<p><!--more-->Here&#8217;s the literal lyrics!</p>
<p>(Pan the room.)<br />
Random use of candles, empty bottles, and cloth,<br />
and can you see me through this fan?<br />
(Slo-mo dove.)<br />
Creepy doll, a window, and what looks like a bathrobe.<br />
Then, a dim-lit shot of dangling balls.</p>
<p>(Metaphor?)<br />
Close-up of some candles, and dramatically posing.<br />
Then, stock footage of a moon in the sky.<br />
(Bottle shot.)<br />
Messing up my close-up with a floating blue curtain.<br />
Now, let&#8217;s see who&#8217;s coming in from outside.</p>
<p>(Double doors open)<br />
Why aren&#8217;t I reacting in this shot?<br />
(Ringo Starr? Lined eyes.)<br />
Guess I should be acting, but I&#8217;m not.</p>
<p>(Doors ajar.)<br />
Wander through a hall with doors that magically open,<br />
and this classroom has a fan.<br />
(Open shirts.)<br />
Now it&#8217;s getting creepy.<br />
You can tell by my staring,<br />
it&#8217;s a long time since I&#8217;ve been with a man.</p>
<p>(Stupid chair.)<br />
Emo Kid is throwing Slo-Mo Dove at my face.<br />
I guess that means that he just flipped me the bird.<br />
(Locker room.)<br />
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang<br />
of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.</p>
<p>(Spin around. Ninjas!)<br />
Then, a bunch of preppies make a toast.<br />
(Drinking wine. Douchebags!)<br />
Most of it just ends up on the floor.</p>
<p>And they shouldn&#8217;t fence at night<br />
or they&#8217;re gonna hurt the gymnasts.<br />
Why do they play football inside?<br />
Here&#8217;s another shot of fencing.<br />
And I&#8217;ve mostly been lit from behind.<br />
Watch these shadows run off.</p>
<p>I walk onto a terrace where I think I&#8217;m alone.<br />
But Arthur Fonzarelli&#8217;s got an army of clones.<br />
(Fonzie&#8217;s been cloned!)<br />
They do the Macarena,<br />
but I&#8217;m still not impressed.<br />
They beg for me to dance with them,<br />
but not in this dress!<br />
I&#8217;ll pose like Rocky tonight!<br />
I&#8217;m running up a bunch of stairs.<br />
(Strip football, and surprise mirror!)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where I pretend to be Eva Peron.<br />
Look at me, I&#8217;m lifting my arms.<br />
There&#8217;s nothing else to shoot,<br />
so zoom camera under this arch.<br />
Leaning on myself, because there&#8217;s two of me here.<br />
But now there&#8217;s only one on this shot.<br />
I pull my feathered hair<br />
whenever I see floating cloth.</p>
<p>[Instrumental, but dascottjr inserted some literal dialogue.]</p>
<p>(Blind possessed choir boys.)<br />
Get out of my way! I&#8217;ve gotta pee!<br />
(Zombie cult!)<br />
Never mind. I just went on the floor!</p>
<p>Now I need to find a mop!<br />
(Look at me now!)<br />
Emo Kid wears too much makeup.<br />
Now, watch a bunch of half-naked guys<br />
(Hairless chests.)<br />
As they dance around in diapers.<br />
And I&#8217;ve joined the Glee Club of the Damned.<br />
(Reference joke!)<br />
Look, the fog machine&#8217;s on!</p>
<p>What kind of private school would let in these kind of guys?<br />
It started out as Hogwarts,<br />
now it&#8217;s Lord of the Flies!<br />
(I hated that book.)<br />
I&#8217;m swaying side to side.<br />
These dancers need to stop.<br />
The gayest man on earth would call this over the top!<br />
I whip my head to the right!<br />
I&#8217;ll never go to church again.<br />
(I think I lost a contact lens.)</p>
<p>When did spazzing out qualify as a dance?<br />
Kneeling like I want to throw up.<br />
What the effing crap?<br />
That angel guy just felt me up!<br />
Here&#8217;s a line of guys. I was wearing a dress.<br />
But now they&#8217;ve got me wearing a suit.<br />
(One kid&#8217;s running late.<br />
I think he&#8217;s too young for this school.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m totally shaking his hand.<br />
(Mullet with headlights?<br />
Over-surprised guy.<br />
Weirded out&#8230;)</p>
