Do you like music? Me too. Hooray.

I also say hooray to inspirational dance movies from the 1980's, like the classic film Flashdance. That's why I did a cover of one of the most memorable songs from that movie called "Maniac". But since I can't dance, I'm afraid this is what my new music video looks like:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_X-Zh_OWKHg&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_X-Zh_OWKHg&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

(If you can't see the video above, please visit <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X-Zh_OWKHg">YouTube directly.</a>)

This song was taken from my brand new album "Perversions". Since you said earlier that you liked music and all, I really think you should buy a copy of this CD. It's everywhere, like <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/marknicholas2">CD Baby</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Perversions-Mark-Nicholas/dp/B0012FIJ9Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1201494831&sr=8-1">amazon.com</a>, <a href="http://www.adifferentdrum.com/artist.php?n=DIRT702">A Different Drum</a> and stuff.

It is not in onilne stores yet though. They're slow. Gotta wait a few more weeks for those.

The end.

Very interesting.

It has the same musical energy, but the video is so slow and non-dynamic when compared to the original that it feels real odd, but I liked it.

This made my day. Your cover is great and the video is awesome. We made one a while back ad I was happy to see couches and sitting making more appearances.

Anyhow, keep up the good work, I've enjoyed what you've been doing lately and have always loved Cosmicity. Werd-

That was funny, nice one.
I hated the original for years, but this does not bother me in the least.

I REALLY liked your video (and the song of course). Seriously, nice work. I wish I'd thought of it! Thanks for pointing me to it. And thanks for watching mine!

Also thanks to the other folks checking it out and saying nice things on here. It is certainly intentional that the video has the opposite energy as the song itself. If I had done something totally maniacal in a song called Maniac , that probably would've been too easy/obvious, don't you think? :-)

That's what makes videos like yours so good. It's almost anti-climatic but that's where the humor comes into play. People kind of expect videos to be nuts these days and in a lot of areas simplicity surpasses extravagance. Needless to say I'm in the same boat as you. Again nice work.
