  That's Why I Chose Yale

  (Music Videos)
  [ 16:49 - from YouTube ]

  Using YouTube to promote a college makes perfect sense. But few have done so. Along comes Yale with a fun, but educational, musical video about why Yalies choose to go there. It'll be interesting to see if this popular video boosts admissions or acceptances this year and if other colleges follow suit. This project is a collaboration between Yale undergraduates and recent alumni working in the admissions office.  view

  The Ballad of G.I. Joe

  (Music Videos)
  [ 3:50 - from Funny or Die ]

  Julianne Moore in a viral video?  The Ballad of GI Joe is a music video set to a strange folk song, features a celeb cast, and pretty much pulls out all the stops. The costumes, sets and lyrics are already bizarre, but when the rocking clarinet solo hits, it's honestly hard to look away. view

  Les Misbarack

  (Lip-Dub)
  [ 3:36 - from YouTube ]

  One Day More, the Les Miserable song from the perspective of Barack Obama's National campaign headquarters. This is a great lip dub, showing how the song's relevance during this energetic presidential race. I love that McCain and Palin, are the doulbes for the evil inkeepers. It's a great battle song ... to victory! view

  House of the Rising Sun

  (Live)
  [ 2:06 - from YouTube ]

  Previously, I submitted the Animals’ awesome version of this classic, but little Emily and Fiona had the shivers going up my spine. Of course, the fact that I sing this one in the shower all the time has nothing to do with it. Nothing at all.  view

  If

  (Music Videos)
  [ 2:58 - from YouTube ]

  Telly Savalas takes it down a notch with his romantic soft hit, "If." Telly gets away with talking his way through the song as a mildly bored gigantic blonde head looks on. Very simple and very funny. view

  Giving Up the Gun

  (Music Videos)
  [ 5:04 - from YouTube ]

  It must be every guy's secret fantasy to don tube socks and Bjorn Borg shorts -- because somehow Vampire Weekend convinced Joe Jonas and Jake Gyllenhaal to improv as 70s tennis clowns in this new video for "Giving Up the Gun," what is sure to be a hit off their sophomore album "Contra." Adding to the surreality are Coach Lil' Jon and ref RZA from Wu-Tang Clan. Watching it, you may be puzzled, as if awaking from REM sleep. Let the lead singer explain: "'Giving Up the Gun' just means turning your back on aggression and selfishness," Ezra Koenig tells Spinner.com. "The heroine of the video isn't an amazing tennis player, but she has heart. She stays calm despite the unfairness of it all." And all the crazy celebrity co-stars. Aces, VW. view
