This is where ice-cream truck music comes from:

I genuinely LOL'd IRL at that video BC :)

Oddly enough, I find the musicians actually kinda...good.... :D

How does one stumble upon that vid I wonder... hahahah

The name was mentioned in a webcomic I happened to see had just updated on one of the sites to which I mirror A*. Let's see... Aha, here it is: http://sundaysmash.thecomicseries.com/comics/60

My favorite version of Macbeth :

Videos embedded with the forum's "embed" tag now use YouTube's new "nocookie" embed parameter, so YouTube doesn't send your browser any cookies until you actually click "Play," which is kind of nice.

Also while doing that I inadvertently stumbled across a super-neat You-Tube linking trick! Let's say you want to link someone to that "Turkey in the Straw" video above. Instead of giving them the usual URL for it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsnZxfkkoKQ, which will bring up the YouTube page with the video in it and all of YouTube's crazy UI around it and user comments and all that, send them http://www.youtube.com/v/VsnZxfkkoKQ, which is essentially an instantly embedded version outside of any web page, so it just plays the video full-frame in your browser! Man neat. Hm I guess you can't get the full-screen button option there, but it's still pretty big anyway. Also this doesn't work for videos that have embedding disabled!

This thread has been sadly neglected! And I still don't really have "A" material. Ah well:

Note: switched to YouTube's new iframe-based video embed code. The "embed" forum tag now supports ONLY inserting the ID code at the end of the YouTube video's URL, ie


If you want to use the old YouTube embed code type, which allows custom colors and whatnot, use the new "oldembed" tag, which functions like the "embed" tag used to.

I like the original version, but the "Literal Video" rendition is pretty darn funny:



"Band mon-taaaaaaaaaaaage!"

Yes.

Even if you aren't too familiar with the source material (I've only seen the first season or so of the original series), the editing that went into this is just amazing.
