While the video is nothing new, this YouTube version is quite funny. They replaced the song with one which explains what is literally happening on screen.

This was a-ha’s only #1 hit in the United States. The video, directed by Steve Barron, was inspired by the animated short “Commuter”, created by Michael Patterson. The video also draws from the film “Altered States”.

Steve Barron went on to direct the live action “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Coneheads”.

There is no nudity in this video by The Brighton Port Authority. The censors have black barred all of the “naughty bits” and middle fingers. The people in the video are aware of this however, and are using the censor’s black bars to create simple animations.

The video was directed by Keith Schofield.

It’s a great idea, a fun video, and a pretty decent song as well.

Don’t let the title fool you. This is no kid’s film. I was unaware that director David Lynch (”Twin Peaks”, “Lost Highway”) also did a few animated shorts. This piece features his first wife Peggy. David combines trange audio and bizarre visuals to make for a very creepy film.
