The other day when I was writing about literal videos, it got me thinking about THE literally literal video - Jonathan Coulton's "Flickr." Coulton is cool (in a geeky sort of way). He did a project called "Thing a Week" where he wrote a song a week for a year. Most of his songs are kind of geeky pop culture inspired tunes such as "Tom Cruise Crazy" or the Zombie tune "Re: Your Brains." Check out the video for "Flickr" here:
In it, a fan (?) puts Coulton's song which was inspired by images seen on the photo-sharing website to pictures of the things he is describing in the song (it makes more sense if you just watch it).
Plus, check out this entry in the Urban Dictionary (here).
Coulton's site is (here).
And Flickr is (here).
