The Government Can
Who can take your money,
with a twinkle in their eye;
take it all away
and give it to some other guy?
The government. The government can.

Literal Videos — going viral ?
“Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video?”
Many excellent songs with great music and lyrics often have music videos which don’t seem to fit the songs at all, and also get strange.
Bonnie Tyler had a huge hit with “Total Eclipse of the Heart” which was written by Jim Steinman (one of [...]
