Well, that's also just fine - doesn't make your imagination any better or 
worse than the imaginations of those who came up with the video.

Film music is fun to do that with if you haven't seen the film yet.  I 
did that with the Untouchables soundtrack, and it was surprising with 
some of the music how close I was to what was in the movie, and at other 
times how very far off I was.
