If in doubt, do it literally

There are many things to enjoy in this video, but I wanted to draw the attention of the massive to the moment 45 seconds in when the lyric 'make a final breakthru...now!' is brilliantly underlined by the shot of a train breaking through a wall with the word 'Now' sprayed on it. It's repeated at the end in case you missed it the first time.
What other literal moments in pop videos can the massive think of?

I remember this video well
It came out when I was in my teens and watching Music Box a lot. What I like about the train crashing through the wall is that the wall is obviously made of polystyrene.
Not a pop video but...
He's chopping though, isn't he?
Not knocking. His stance is all wrong too, as is his grip on the axe.
A pretty shoddy effort all round.
Well-dressed
for a lumberjack, though.
You want literal?
