Literal Translation Music Videos
We all know that music videos can be quite abstract and often times downright weird…the connection to the lyrics are often a stretch. Well, the guys over at DustFilms have taken a few music videos and have changed the lyrics to describe what is happening in the video.
The result? Awesomeness! Check out one of my favorites by those guys:
DustFilms aren’t the only guys that are doing it though…there are some that try – many of them failing – but a few are worth while. Check out this Creed literal video translation (my favorite non-DustFilms video):

Racquetball Strategy Videos – Shawn Royster
I’ve played racquetball off and on for a few years now without the benefit of instruction, skill, or real athletic ability. But, I play for fun with a couple of guys from work and in a desperate effort to gain an upper hand, I have turned to my old pal the internet for a few tips. It was there that I found Shawn Royster’s videos at ExpertVillage.
This racquetball pro has approximately 30 short videos explaining strategy, body positioning, returns, training, etc that have surprisingly revealed everything that I do wrong while playing. I have a feeling I’ll be revisiting these videos time and time again as I strive to wtfpwn my friends.
Here’s his video titled: Racquetball Strategy: After Serve Positioning
