I can't believe I haven't written this down until now. I had this dream at least a year ago, but never thought to write it down.

Okay, so everyone knows the video for "Once in a Lifetime" by the Talking Heads, right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU

In my humble opinion*, this is one of the greatest music videos of all time. Not only is it weird and unique, it also manages to distance itself almost completely from the music, i.e. it's not just the band playing with some post added in.

Anyway, my dream was as follows. Take the above video, and imagine it with these changes.

1) The background, rather than being plain white, was a scrolling, colorful psychedelic thing.
2) The performer was changed from David Byrne to Tommy Wiseau, best known as the director/writer/star of The Room. Note that the dancing was exactly the same, down to the progression. You know how Byrne gets more and more disheveled and sweaty as the video goes on (I think it was shot in one take)? Same thing with Wiseau, right down to the hair flying around.
3) The audio was, to the best of my salt-addled memory, the Indian Thriller song. And it was that song to which Wiseau was lip-synching.

Hmmm....

No real point to this, just felt like telling someone. I would have just told my girlfriend to get it off my chest, but it's past 1:00 AM right now where I am.

* Yes, because I have plenty of time to write out the entire phrase.
