It is now possible to embed you tube movies!
All you need to do is to put the hash id of the youtube movie inside youtube bb brackets, for this movie I used: Anyways, Enjot Loituma, I understand exactly 0 words of what they are singing, but I find them exceptional.

Very nice, Gil.

Gil, really nice. Thanks again!

Testing!

Cool - hey Jeffrey, I remember that! It was at MARF II back in April 2007

Testing?



Ok, so I was playing a strat and it's sloppy... so sue me!

Ah, the polka! It was extremely popular here in Russia around 1,5 years ago. Here's the English translation i found on the Web.

The sound of a polka drifted from my neighbor's
and set my feet a-tapping oh!
Ieva's mother had her eye on her daughter but
Ieva she managed to fool her, you know.
'Cause who's going to listen to mother saying no
when we're all busy dancing to and fro!

Ieva was smiling, the fiddle it was wailing
as people crowded round to wish her luck.
Everyone was hot but it didn't seem to bother
the handsome young man, the dashing buck.
'Cause who's going to mind a drop of sweat
when he's all busy dancing to and fro!

Ieva's mother she shut herself away
in her own quiet room to hum a hymn.
Leaving our hero to have a spot of fun
in a neighbor's house when the lights are dim.
'Cause what does it matter what the old folks say
when you're all busy dancing to and fro!

When the music stopped then the real fun began
and that's when the laddie fooled around.
When he took her home, when the dancing was over
her mother angrily waiting they found.
But I said to her, Ieva, now don't you weep
and we'll soon be dancing to and fro!

I said to her mother now stop that noise
or I won't be responsible for what I do.
If you go quietly and stay in your room
you won't get hurt while your daughter I woo.
'Cause this fine laddie is a wild sort of guy
when he's all busy dancing to and fro!

One thing I tell you is you won't trap me,
no, you won't find me an easy catch.
Travel to the east and travel to the west but
Ieva and I are going to make a match.
'Cause this fine laddie ain't the bashful sort
when he's all busy dancing to and fro.

Thanks

Speaking of web "season hits" - this one was this spring's biggest hit here. Not as big as "Yak tsup tsop" (local name for "Ievan polka"), though.

Rockin' Roadkill!

Sheena, I haven't laughed that hard since Aitch "introduced" himself to Danny! Thanks for the video!

Gil,

I STILL can't this to work.

What am I doing wrong?

That's because you had "v=" inside as well.

This is the URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV4wQo496zM

This is the code you had: Notice it beings with v=, the ?v= simply passes a parameter called "v" to the server, what you need to put is what AFTER the = sign: out of v=DV4wQo496zM you should have taken only the DV4wQo496zM

Thank You GIl,

It was making me NUTS!
