Very funny 'literal' video subvert of the Men Without Hats song, "The Safety Dance"
• Safety Dance- literal ...
Pat The Batman Fan is the original creator of this song. He (re)wrote the words and his brother sang the hell out of it. Men Without Hats' publishing company hit him with a copyright strike and removed it. He said 'Literally (no pun intended) the only vid I could find was super low-quality at the time. I forgot all about this too but I sent the link to the director of the original video... he enjoyed it. Unfortunately MWH did not feel the same I guess. I remember thinking at the time they should change their name to "Men Without Humor".
Just FYI, I was the original creator of this 8-9? years ago. I (re)wrote the words and my brother sang the hell out of it. Men Without Hats' publishing company hit me with a copyright strike and removed it. @undercurrentspaulo re-uploaded it, which I don't mind at all. Couple people re-uploaded since then. Glad they found the video in better quality. Literally (no pun intended) the only vid I could find was super low-quality at the time. I forgot all about this too but I sent the link to the director of the original video... he enjoyed it. Unfortunately MWH did not feel the same I guess. I remember thinking at the time they should change their name to "Men Without Humor". Honestly I forgot all about it until just now- I was just looking for a karaoke version and saw it. Crazy. Very gratifying to see so many people enjoying it still.
That is brilliant- we always wondered who made it. We laugh everytime. We would a hi quality version if you know of any
@@undercurrentsmedia Easy enough to rip the audio from this one and rip the video from the original, add subtitles and your done.
You are a hero. This is wonderful.
@@oOMonkeyMagicOo I believe it wasn't that easy 9 years ago, but could use a remake
@@DyG12122 that’s fantastic and frightening.
Men without hats + LSD = Literal Safety Dance
"Now little man, jump as high as you can.. Well that´s not very high.." I love that part
this is the best thing I've ever seen
"Make a Giant 'S' ... Now another 'S' ... That spells 'SS'" - LOOhOhohOOOL :D

That... surprisingly... was pretty good
Holy crap!
"Renaissance fair from hell"
Oh, that line always gets me :-)
"Now I'll race you to the crazy ho."
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!!!
"I am ready little friend, for this Video to End. Its not going very well"
is now on my Soundboard to annoy my friends who I record Vids with. They hate it. Thanks!
This never gets old :D Still hilarious after watching it over and over again
Great spoof lyrics. :-D Probably the best literal reworking of a music vid I've seen so far on YT.
9 years ago it was still a masterpice
One of the best literal versions I've ever seen, this was nothing but win.
"Cause even for an 80's band, this is getting really gay"
Good one. LOL
This is my favourite literal video of all time - no matter how many times I watch it, I nearly fall off my chair laughing!
The lyrics are timed to a tee, and it sounds just like the original!
Same here! Every now and than the memory of this version pops up in my head and I have to watch it... still can't stop giggling ;)
Yep, this is definitely Literal Safety Dance, or LSD for short.

I still consider this the best of the literal music videos.
the best literal video around...
Absolute masterpiece. Must be one of the first times I cried laughing while being confused af at the same time. Good job. Thank you.
This is just.. epic. There is no other way to describe it. It makes me laugh so hard every single time I watch it, and even after the 20th time (at least) it's still funny.
Well it took literally 10 years, but I'm glad to have stumbled onto this video today in November, 2020.
Fcuk me, that's the funniest thing I've seen all week.
This is hilarious! Well done! I love watching this music video just about every day. I like your spin on it. I remember wathing this in the 80's and always thought it ended too soon. Hypothetically, I wanted to see the movie and see what happens to the characters. The 3 characters seem very likeable for some reason. The heroic male lead, the dwarf and the attractive young lady who seems absolutely insane.
Watching this during Corona Quarantine to cheer me up.
It is really funny alright
yeah !!! it is BACK !!!
This shit needs to make a come back. The funny never dies.
I've watched this about 12 times and have concluded that it's a work of comedic genius. Well done, people!
0:40 "Now little man jump as high as you can.... well, that's not very high"... Im laughing so bad I have a stomach pain....
Defiantly LSD
Whack the midget's ass!
This is so funny, my throat hurts. I have watched it 6 times and I am still laughing. Thank you so much for cheering me up this afternoon. I really needed it.
This never gets old. Could be the best video on you tube.
Brilliant. There really isn't anything more to say. Just bloody brilliant.
Excellent, one of the best of these that I've seen
"What's the deal with the chickens?"-still my favorite line.
Love this! The original video is just as crazy!
This is one of the best, if not the best, literal video version! Perfect voice and lyric and music choice!
I love these videos SO much!
Its the cast of Game of Thrones on drugs! :P LOL
I remember this from when I was younger, but I never found it till now :D
I watched a lot of literals, this is the BEST one by far!!! Great job!! It cracks me the hell up.
One of my fave literal videos. Extremely creative and fun to watch.
This cover is simply genius dude, keep up the good work.
The best!!
One of the best video's i've seen on youtube and i've seen million of them...whoever did this was very creative, good job
Thank you so much for this, it's bloody brilliant!
I love the original song (pointless but catchy), love the video for the same reason and love this parody! Very well done - thanks for the laugh!
Building up self esteem and be able to dance freely is not pointless!
I love how obvious the parody lyrics are, yet I never think of them myself. Excellent!
I love this tune and vid soooo much remembering it as it did when it came out, but this is just pure class! Thanks for putting so much effort and skill into making it. If you love the song you will enjoy it, if you hated the song you will enjoy it all the same.
Bravo!
I love this, first time looking at literal vids.
Oh my Goodness! I feel like laughing at "definitely LSD" every time!
I woke up my brother from laughing so hard. Nice video, man. :)
Used to be one of my faves back in the day. But U did a good job! I have laughed so hard, I'm literally crying. haha
great job lol this is hilarious this got better as it went on lol keep it up dont stop making literal vidos one of the best ones
that was a good one.
This vid is so good I can no longer watch the original version or listen to the original song. This IS the version for me. And the similarities between the vocalist on this and the original version is uncanny.
One of the best literal videos around. Great job
This is so good, it made me cry.
I skip through a meadow
Midget follows right behind
See him play the lute
In a silly little suit
Do you think this is my best side?
Now I'll point really badly
Indicating we must go
Now I'll shake me head
And scream in your face
Now I'll race you to the crazy ho
I'm insane
When I wave to you smile
Like you're whacked out of your mind
Now little man
Jump as high as you can
Well,that's not very high
Say! I feel kinda of funny
As I watch you bounce around
Did I take LSD?
Why else would I be
Hanging out with this little clown
There's a dog
Here's a fence
Why are you still following me?
Look at that
Holly crap!
Definitely LSD!
Watch me now
As I do
A really bad interpretive dance
Gotta say
This is weird
Even for a 80's band
Make a giant S
Now another S
That spells "SS"
Now it's getting even weirder
A Renaissance Fair from hell
I'm ready little friend
For this video to end
It's not going very well
What's the deal with the chickens?
What's up with this stuip pole?
Let's go
Find the director and find him a new cornpole
Oh no!
It's getting worse
Medieval puppet show!
Crazy ho
Giant S
Whack the midget on the ass
Maybe if
I clap my hands
All of this will go away
Cause even for
A 80's band
This is getting really gay
Now I turn my back
Now a puppet smack
He's gonna whack some ass
So whack the midget's ass
Yes the midget's ass
You missed the midget's ass
Come here you little clown
Watch me jump up and down
More bad interpretive dance
I flunked out of mime class
Now midget roll on the grass
Random images fast
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
This only has 1M views??? I remember watching this like 5 years ago rofl
1,648,340 to be exact.
"Make a giant S, make another S, that spells 'SS'"
-Greatest line ever written.
The funniest literal video I've seen so far, great job :)
Very very good! I'll race you to the crazy ho!
Better than the original haha
Oh my I've listened to this several times every day since I discovered it xD It's really great! "I'm insane!"
This cracks me up every time !
Don't do drugs.
Ice Tabloid too late 🤪
even for an 80s band this is getting really gay hahaha *****
This is a masterpiece
Love the video ! Great job with the lyrics.
Classic. Brilliant work.
Fantastic, loving your work :)
Watch me now as I do a really bad interpretive dance ....bahhhahah
Without a doubt the best of the literal videos from the 80's
I could watch this all day long ^^
My god, this is just perfect...
Awesome, great vocals and rhyme! Favourite! =D
Sooooooooo great! Laughed out loud... Now that is rare...
Is it weird that I've only *watched* it once, but I *listen* to it over and over again through random youtube playlists cause enjoy the song?
Gotta love this video
one of the best "literal" vids i've seen ^_^
* e v e n f o r a n 80s b a n d t h i s i s g e t t i n g r e a l l y g a y *
Haha this is pretty awesome. I love crazy 80s videos.
That’s one of the best ones I’ve seen yet man thats funny.
This is definitely my fav literal video... It just gets funnier everytime I watch it!
My friend, Guy, is going to love this! Probably the funniest thing I'll see all day... :)
I absolutely like all of this literal video!!!
amazing! love it!!
this has made my day :D
This is the BEST literal video I have ever seen or heard!!!! OMG!!!!
This is awesome!!
this is fantastic!
Best 80s literal video ever. Great sound quality and clever lyrics.
LOVE IT!! THANKS!!!
Excellent!!
brilliant
omfg that was awesome...one of the best for sure.
Loved this lots. Really good impression of the original singer too :)
This is so amazing! XD
Amazing!
This and that one are the two best, hands down! Both start with whacked out videos that really have nothing to do with the lyrics, both are clever in their descriptive accuracy which also rhyme perfectly, and both have lead singers that sound like the original or at least can sing well.
Absolute class!
Damn looked so much time for this and remembering only "make a S". @__@
