What is it called when the images of a video coincide with the content of the background music to the point of bad taste? “Mickey mousing” is one name for it, but there is another name for it too. The phrase I’m thinking of either refers to the phenomenon itself or it refers to one of the images that coincides with a word in the music.
I remember seeing it a couple of years ago. It’s a noun phrase of 4 or so words. There was a Wikipedia article on it, so it’s not a nonce phrase or something without a lexicography footprint.
Any help is appreciated.
