Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do, in this fourth installment of literal videos, Billy Idol and White Wedding! Lyrics/Singing: Dustin McLean
The "standing by candles" and "grab the butt" lines were hilarious but somehow I found "hey do you smell my bad breath" and "if you stay here I will check you out" funnier.
I'm going to watch Billy Idol next week and I am definitely going to be singing to this song with these lyrics. 😂 the "STANDIN' BY CANDLES!" Gets me every time! 😂
I'm so glad you did this video - it's one of the most influential music videos of the 80s, and the world of literal videos would be incomplete without it! =)
Wow, I'm amazed by how perfect you manage to imitate the voices in all your literal videos... great singing!!! You're funny and talented - and it's quite a cool idea anyway! Genious!!
You my friend should be famous. I love how well you adapt your voice to the original songs and it sounds good! You truly have a talent. You should do more of these videos.
I graduated high school in 1985. I haven't watched this video since the song was still on top 40 radio. This was freakin' excellent. It's hilarious how awesome we thought we were. LOL
Every time I watch this I never stop being amazed at just how alike you sound to Billy Idol. At many points it is completely impossible to tell you apart.
OMG...i was gone when you did the "Hey look at me...I wrapped up my head" PMSL your voice is perfect :D PIROUETTEEEEEEEE LMFAO...I love you...this has gotta be my fav one
I came on youtube looking for the actual song but after seeing this I'm going to have to watch more literal music vids, 'cause that was some kind of amazing. XD
I heard this back in 2016 and lost it. No matter what I searched I couldn't find it... and at last, it's back in my life
'Some of my friends are Gothic, some of my friends are New Wave, some of my friends are Straight edge...'
That was gold.
Because of this video, I still catch myself singing "Standing by candles!!!" everytime I hear this song.
That was strangely such a good match for the original song, it made me laugh out loud. It was just perfect.
The "standing by candles" and "grab the butt" lines were hilarious but somehow I found "hey do you smell my bad breath" and "if you stay here I will check you out" funnier.
"Grab the butt!" followed by "Standing by the candles!" just cracked me up big time!
DustMcNeato...the King of Literal Videos has blessed us again. Not everyone can do that Billy Idol scream, but you can!!!!

Another classic sir. Congratulations for inventing and then dominating a genre.

This is the best Literal Video Version by FAR!!!
Even sound like Billy here and there.
I can't believe I found this video, I must have watched this a decade ago. The singer is amazing and this is still hilarious.
How can you not love the 80's with gems like this one?!
hahahaha... Everything after "Standin' by candles!" had me teary eyed! You kept me going right to the end. haha
You can watch them all here! dustfilms (dot) com/literalvideos
"Now it is time to...go outside!" :D Classic. If you ever released a DVD of literal video versions I'd buy it in an instant
I've seen many of the "literal videos" and liked most of them, but no one else has ever been so dead on with the vocals. Good job! ^_^
There is no scale for how awesome this is. Well done!
Brilliant, simply brilliant!
I'm glad these are available again
2:05-2:09. Because of this dub, I now remember this song by these lines.
You freaking NAILED this!
"Standin by candles!" hahahahaha lmao thats just gold
Clever. Talented. Just plain fun. Please keep going. More please!
My coworker Laken showed me this video many years ago and it still holds up.
Yes! The voice is often amazing!!! What to awe at more? the ideas or the making of it? Brilliant!!! Thanks!!
That was outstanding. Thank you.
Fantastic voice for this, you rock!
hahaha
I love these! I'm so glad you posted another one!
I loose it at "PIROUEEEETTE!"
This is fantastic, and great vocals as always!
Wow! I have never stumbled across any of these literal videos! Too great!!
Love, love and love this!!
Every few days I watch this video over and over. I just can't get enough.
Seriously good! Cracked me up. Any time I hear this song as of now - it'll never be the same.
THIS WAS BRILLIANTLY DONE!
So far the two best on TH-cam are this one and Head Over Heels.
Hahaha this is flawless, the overdub fits like it was the original vocal track.
Dustin, these literal videos are incredible. Some of the finest work on the toob.
You've nailed it once again, loved it. 5 stars.

Lmao. This is funniest thing I've seen in a while. You made my day. Cheers!
I'm wondering who were those 259 people who didn't like this. It was awesome. I don't get tired of listening to it lol!
You're a genius! Keep them coming, please!
HA ha, these are hilarious! i have watched about ten of them now, maybe not all from you, but they keep me laughing!
