Possibly the Strangest Music Video... Ever




Part 1:

There is a large, old building, a mansion or some sort of school.

There is a woman, presumably Bonnie Tyler, standing and looking out a window.

There is a ... robot bursting into the mansion/school.

There are several open doors with red curtains flying out of them.

There are students at desks.

There is an angel in a chair, holding a dove.

There are a bunch of students wearing swimming goggles and getting splashed with water.

There are ninjas practicing ... ninja. In the middle of the school.

There are a bunch of men having a really splashy toast in the same room as the ninjas.

There are two people practicing fencing in the same place as the ninjas and the splashy dinnerpeople.

Bonnie is out on a balcony thing.

The gang from 'Grease' is practicing for the sequal on the stairs leading up to the level under where Bonnie is singing.

There are a number of football players running into each other in another part of the school. In the dark.

One of the open doorways just lost its curtain.

Bonnie is running down the stairs of the school.

Hercules is practicing cartwheels/ninjitsu in the ... somewhere in the school.

The curtained doorways are blowing open in sync.

Bonnie is running down the suddenly really bright hallway.

Hercules guy is attempting to seduce the video watchers.

The splashy dinnerguests are throwing the food, cutlery, etc. around.

Bonnie is still running down the hallway.

The dinner people are still throwing things.

The curtained doors are blowing open again. Even though they were still open, like, thirty seconds ago.

Bonnie is still runnning.

Dinner people are still throwing things.

Bonnie. Running.

One of the fencers is pouring sweat out of his mask. Amount appears to be equal to half the contents of Niagara Falls.

Bonnie has finally stopped running, and is now facing fifteen or sixteen demonic robot choirboy Damien things.

One of the DRCBD things has decided to pirouette-fly towards Bonnie.

Bonnie is completely unfased.

The angel with the dove gets a close-up and appears to be the younger sibling of Marilyn Manson or Jessica Simpson with no make-up.

A bunch of guys wearing what looks to be track outfits and indian war paint are running up some stairs to the school.

Half-dressed students are singing.

Track Indians run up the stairs and start doing interpretive dance around Bonnie, who is still singing and apparently totally used to having crazy shit like this happen.

DRCBD things are moving closer to Bonnie and seriously starting to creep me out.

Bonnie is back in the middle of the Interpretive-Dancing Track Indians, who are still dancing.

The DRCBD things are doing a much slower and uninteresting version of the iterpretive dance by the Track Indians.

The Track Indians are apparently also part-time S&M slaves, as made apparent by some of their outfits.

DRCBD things still doing their 'dance'.

Bonnie is overwhelmed by the weirdness and collapses. Still singing.

Some other angel-like person thing is flapping their wings in Bonnie's face.

Bonnie is outside shaking the hands of some of the students. One of them is a DRCBD thing that apparently only NOW freaks out Bonnie, and it sings at her before everyone goes back inside the building, leaving Bonnie alone in a bad version of the Men In Black uniforms.

(Note: I've decided the only school weird enough to have all this going on at the same time and have it be considered perfectly normal is Hogwarts.)


Part 2:


I tried to write my observations in the same way as the video seems to have been made: in completely random segments, with only the recurring theme of Bonnie singing, students doing different activities and Demonic Robot ChoirBoy Damien (TM) things holding the video all together. I also deliberately made my observations fairly undescriptive, as the video has quite a bit of fog and extremely dark lighting, making it hard to see a lot of the details, especially in the case of the Track SexSlave Indians, whose complete outfits aren't entirely clear until you've seen them five or six times.
