The "standing by candles" and "grab the butt" lines were hilarious but somehow I found "hey do you smell my bad breath" and "if you stay here I will check you out" funnier.
I'm going to watch Billy Idol next week and I am definitely going to be singing to this song with these lyrics. 😂 the "STANDIN' BY CANDLES!" Gets me every time! 😂
I'm so glad you did this video - it's one of the most influential music videos of the 80s, and the world of literal videos would be incomplete without it! =)
Wow, I'm amazed by how perfect you manage to imitate the voices in all your literal videos... great singing!!! You're funny and talented - and it's quite a cool idea anyway! Genious!!
@MJBpresents if you pay attention to the last line, like turn up the volume so you can hear it, the last line is after "now it is time to go outside." it has no subtitles, but it says "now it seems right to say goodbye"
Every time I watch this I never stop being amazed at just how alike you sound to Billy Idol. At many points it is completely impossible to tell you apart.
You my friend should be famous. I love how well you adapt your voice to the original songs and it sounds good! You truly have a talent. You should do more of these videos.
I graduated high school in 1985. I haven't watched this video since the song was still on top 40 radio. This was freakin' excellent. It's hilarious how awesome we thought we were. LOL
best literal video ive seen! awesome vocals too. on the lines "bleached again" and "standing by candles it reminded me of Layne Staley from Alice in Chains
I sure like the original song , but this is way better . Just amazing work , how the lyrix make sense , fit to the video and still sound almost like the orijinal .. and the voice - a perfect hit ! CONGRATULATIONS !
OMG...i was gone when you did the "Hey look at me...I wrapped up my head" PMSL your voice is perfect :D PIROUETTEEEEEEEE LMFAO...I love you...this has gotta be my fav one
I am torn between this and the original. I hear this and then I hear that and then this and then that and then I put on my cool glove, coz its a nice day to compare. Come on its a nice touch to be here again. Pirouette! Goodness! What a voice you have.
There's nothing safe in this room. Teeheeheehee :-) Billy Idol is so delicious in this video. You brought out his true talent. Dusto McNeato you rock!!
Hahaha, the lower comments spoiled the "bleached again" part for me, but I also found "there is nothing safe in this room" particularly hilarious. Very, very well done!
It wasn't the funniest Literal Video, but Your Voice... I sat here rockin' out and gigglin' while enjoying Your Voice. That's a helluva compliment shuga! :D More of these please, keep on singin'! ^_^
I came on youtube looking for the actual song but after seeing this I'm going to have to watch more literal music vids, 'cause that was some kind of amazing. XD
this was probably the best singing out of any literal lyrics I've heard yet, he really nails the Billy Idol sound. Imo It's even better than anything for love or total eclipse of the heart (literal versions) In the quality of his singing, I think the others are funnier but this was good!
I heard this back in 2016 and lost it. No matter what I searched I couldn't find it... and at last, it's back in my life
It was due to how some artists, and their record label, didn't like him doing this (except the A-Ha one, they liked it)
Because of this video, I still catch myself singing "Standing by candles!!!" everytime I hear this song.
That was strangely such a good match for the original song, it made me laugh out loud. It was just perfect.
I'm glad these are available again
Same. Also i think the only ones that didn't mind a video, and also enjoyed it, was A-Ha.
'Some of my friends are Gothic, some of my friends are New Wave, some of my friends are Straight edge...'
That was gold.
DustMcNeato...the King of Literal Videos has blessed us again. Not everyone can do that Billy Idol scream, but you can!!!!
"Grab the butt!" followed by "Standing by the candles!" just cracked me up big time!
The "standing by candles" and "grab the butt" lines were hilarious but somehow I found "hey do you smell my bad breath" and "if you stay here I will check you out" funnier.
Another classic sir. Congratulations for inventing and then dominating a genre.
I'm going to watch Billy Idol next week and I am definitely going to be singing to this song with these lyrics. 😂 the "STANDIN' BY CANDLES!" Gets me every time! 😂

Brilliant, simply brilliant!
@MJBpresents if you pay attention to the last line, like turn up the volume so you can hear it, the last line is after "now it is time to go outside." it has no subtitles, but it says "now it seems right to say goodbye"
This voice is excellent!!!
This is awesome.
Great vocals too.
You can watch them all here! dustfilms (dot) com/literalvideos
How can you not love the 80's with gems like this one?!
This is the best Literal Video Version by FAR!!!
Even sound like Billy here and there.
I've seen many of the "literal videos" and liked most of them, but no one else has ever been so dead on with the vocals. Good job! ^_^
Great voice!
I can't believe I found this video, I must have watched this a decade ago. The singer is amazing and this is still hilarious.
Yes! The voice is often amazing!!! What to awe at more? the ideas or the making of it? Brilliant!!! Thanks!!
Every few days I watch this video over and over. I just can't get enough.
hahahaha... Everything after "Standin' by candles!" had me teary eyed! You kept me going right to the end. haha
"It's a good time for my cool glove!"
What a great line for Billy Idol :D
And the voice is phenomenal!
Clever. Talented. Just plain fun. Please keep going. More please!
the voice is absolutely perfect, that usually makes or breaks these videos
Seriously good! Cracked me up. Any time I hear this song as of now - it'll never be the same.
"Standin by candles!" hahahahaha lmao thats just gold
My coworker Laken showed me this video many years ago and it still holds up.
THIS WAS BRILLIANTLY DONE!
So far the two best on UA-cam are this one and Head Over Heels.
Every time I watch this I never stop being amazed at just how alike you sound to Billy Idol. At many points it is completely impossible to tell you apart.
"Now it is time to...go outside!" :D Classic. If you ever released a DVD of literal video versions I'd buy it in an instant
There is no scale for how awesome this is. Well done!
2:05-2:09. Because of this dub, I now remember this song by these lines.
You freaking NAILED this!
You my friend should be famous. I love how well you adapt your voice to the original songs and it sounds good! You truly have a talent. You should do more of these videos.
Pure genious! Literal Videos are my new addiction and Dusto's the king.
Hahaha this is flawless, the overdub fits like it was the original vocal track.
I graduated high school in 1985. I haven't watched this video since the song was still on top 40 radio. This was freakin' excellent. It's hilarious how awesome we thought we were. LOL
I love your voice. This video lent itself well to the concept, and the lyrics were good. Great job, as always!
Best vocal performance I've seen so far in a literal video version!
Wow! I have never stumbled across any of these literal videos! Too great!!
Dustin, these literal videos are incredible. Some of the finest work on the toob.
You've nailed it once again, loved it. 5 stars.
I loose it at "PIROUEEEETTE!"
This is fantastic, and great vocals as always!
this is brilliant. "standing by candles" was my favourite part.
So good... just like the others, whenever I need to laugh I know what I have to watch.
And the voice is great too.
I'm glad you returned to the 80's videos. You're so good at this!!
I'm wondering who were those 259 people who didn't like this. It was awesome. I don't get tired of listening to it lol!
Fantastic voice for this, you rock!
Awesome! Truly one of the better Literal Video Versions out there! Yay for dustfilms.
Very nicely done. Ranks right up there with "Take on Me" as my favorite literal video.
best literal video ive seen! awesome vocals too. on the lines "bleached again" and "standing by candles it reminded me of Layne Staley from Alice in Chains
HA ha, these are hilarious! i have watched about ten of them now, maybe not all from you, but they keep me laughing!
Haha, this is great!
One of my fave lines is: "And the sink is also not working..."
Just the way it sounds and fits in so well. xD
I sure like the original song , but this is way better . Just amazing work , how the lyrix make sense , fit to the video and still sound almost like the orijinal .. and the voice - a perfect hit ! CONGRATULATIONS !
OMG...i was gone when you did the "Hey look at me...I wrapped up my head" PMSL your voice is perfect :D
PIROUETTEEEEEEEE LMFAO...I love you...this has gotta be my fav one

The vocals on this are great! And Akwamenti, I agree, "Standing by candles!" is the funniest part!
Brilliant fantastic voice best cover yet or is it really Billy? as he has a great sense of humour

I nearly pissed myself at 'my hair needs to be BLEACHED AGAIN
love it love it
Awesome
great billy idol impression. especially with the scream at the end.
The best literal lyric vids 'cause this guy is funny - and he can sing!
LOVE these literal videos... The Safety Dance one is still about the funniest thing I have ever seen, but this one is pretty funny.
Hilarious! Please more of this stuff!
you're sillly!! Billy Idol was great & the 80's vidoes crack me up now that I look back at them,but thx for your literal interpretation too ;-)
It wasn't the funniest Literal Video, but Your Voice... I sat here rockin' out and gigglin' while enjoying Your Voice. That's a helluva compliment shuga! :D More of these please, keep on singin'! ^_^
you sir are a genious, it takes someone with a high intelligence to create such a well produced mockery/parody of these songs
I came on youtube looking for the actual song but after seeing this I'm going to have to watch more literal music vids, 'cause that was some kind of amazing. XD
This is so funny, every bit of it. Great work!!!!
Wow... whoever was singing is really talented and has a great voice.

"its a good time for my cool glove"
Epic, your best one by far
I always wondered what this song was about...now I am enlightened!
Great singing! Makes the whole thing so much better :)
this was probably the best singing out of any literal lyrics I've heard yet, he really nails the Billy Idol sound.
Imo It's even better than anything for love or total eclipse of the heart (literal versions) In the quality of his singing, I think the others are funnier but this was good!
