- Judgment Day's broken my heart (sung with nuclear explosions blowing up L.A. in the background)
- But nothing can Terminate our love.

Nice one :-)
I also recommend the other literal videos like the Ah-Ha song and Tears for Fears' Head over Heals.

Loved Total Eclipse. Sent it off to my bro...we used to make fun of that video back in the day. Great to see it is even cornier than ever.
