Blog: Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 9)

For a surprising turn of events, this Volume has nothing to do with video games. It's still fairly musical though and contains rabbits, my childhood and groups of people doing cool things.

• The first video this week come from, of all places, the New York State Lottery Board. It has rabbits, they're cute. 
• The second is a lipdub from a group of students from l'Université du Québec à Montréal. This is the first lipdub I'd ever seen and my mind was blown. You may not love The Black Eyed Peas but the video is pretty incredible. I love seeing groups of people band together to pull things off and this is a brilliant example and the fact that they do it in all one take is even better.
• The third video is one of the opening credits to the 1980s PBS show 3-2-1 Contact. There were several different versions but this is the one I remember the best. I was probably a bit young to watch 3-2-1 Contact (and I certainly get it mixed up in my memory with other PBS shows of the era). There's something about the song though that's really memorable.
• Following on that is a clip from another PBS show Square One. As a kid I loved this show and through this game thought this was a great idea for a game show (since I was pretty good at math).
• The last video is a flash mob from the 2010 olympics (the one with the mittens). As with the lipdub above I enjoy the group effort and the well that's all they managed feeling getting blown away by the but wait there's MORE. It's also kinda neat to know exactly where a video was filmed.
