The master of musicless music videos, Mario Wienerroither, edited Lionel Richie's music video "Hello", and left us with something that will make you laugh.

In an interview with The Daily Dot, he describes his work process:

In a YouTube series called Musicless Musicvideos, Wienerroither records and mixes new audio for popular music videos that comprises the shuffles, knocks, and sneezes of quotidian life. He works from a sound library that he's spent years amassing, and the results range from humorous to disturbing and everywhere in between.

As a sound designer, editor, and mixer, he spends hours roaming the streets of his adopted hometown of Vienna, Austria, looking for the perfect spot to record footsteps, handclaps, or just a rustle of fabric. Those sounds go into his personal library of sound effects for future use in commercials, films, and, of course, his Musicless Musicvideos.

[…]

A typical Musicless Musicvideo takes Wienerroither about nine hours to produce: three hours to record and assemble his sounds, and another five or six for “brainstorming, drafting, editing and mixing, adding effects, deleting, editing again.”

Seeing the video with Lionel, I came to think about the famous Lionel flyer with tear-off tabs:
