Mostly I’m grooving on [Bowie](http://youtube.com/watch?v=p79JKclG-oc) and [Joe and the boys](http://youtube.com/watch?v=5JG-TmFKw2s). That James Gang, especially, just shreds. 😃 ---

[This page](http://www.fatadam.com/2006/12/03/top-10-viewed-youtube-videos-of-all-time/) has the top 10 viewed youtube videos of all time. Some have already been listed here but most haven’t.

[QUOTE=NDP] This was linked over at Fark over a week ago. It’s one of a series of trippy cartoon I remember from the early years of “Sesame Street” for the numbers 2 through 10. [This one is for the number 2.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z9TB0FdQkA) (It says Grace Slick did the vocals for these shorts. I did not know that.) [/QUOTE] All those years ago I used to watch those Sesame Shorts with my kids, and I always wondered if it was Grace Slick doing the vocals–it sure _sounded_ like her. Finally, years and years later, my kids all grown up, I get _confirmation_ of this! Ah, life’s little moments of satisfaction. Thank you. 🆒 ---

[QUOTE=sturmhauke] I first saw this [Evangelion AMV](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVQaixvlMwo) (anime music video) of Rammstein’s Engle about 6 years ago. I don’t know who made it, but back then such things were traded via FTP servers or on CD. The streaming version on YouTube suffers a bit; it’s at lower resolution and the audio tends to desync. The original was pretty flawlessly synchronized. [/QUOTE] Very cool. One of my favorites is another Evangelion AMV; this time it Iced Earth’s Damien, and almost certainly NSFW: http:// [www.youtube.com/watch?v=P36WyEEWr90](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P36WyEEWr90) Another is Manowar’s Hail and Kill to Berserk (also probably NSFW for blood and gore\*): http:// [www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgXi0T-3vdU](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgXi0T-3vdU) \*But what else would you expect from something involving both Manowar \*and \*Berserk? ---

[QUOTE=cazzle] [Real Pacman](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS5VLab3kCk) [/QUOTE] Heh. That’s a good one. Filmed here at U. of Michigan. The first part is in the undergraduate library and the second in a large computer lab called the Fishbowl. My roommate was actually at the UGLi when they filmed that. I love how Pacman screams in horror, “Oh, God!” as he’s being chased. ---

For a charity concert in 2004 they got all the Buggles to sing and play “Video killed the radio star”. The first time they played this together live after the original recording in the studio long ago.

Dirty Vegas’s [Days Go By](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oqmhVNk3Hg) Hehehe, and of course: [Dirty Dirty Vegas](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QANAjO7dp1c) Tom Wilson sings about the questions he is asked [every day](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y) [This](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsHKoJM8uv8) is a somewhat un-nerving but very awesome animated music video done to the Acoustic version of “Creep” by Radiohead. And though many people seem to despise it, I just LOVE Maria Sharapova’s [I’m So Pretty](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2ijO5T_1lM) Nike commercial. ---
