Great Prices Here

Youtube, which revolutionized home videos and made potential stars out of us all, recently released their top ten videos list. Included in the list are the inevitable cute-baby-caught-doing-cute-things candid camera style, popular music videos and standup comedian / ventriloquist doing their stuff. What I did find a little strange was that there are two Miley Cyrus videos here and not one of Justin Bieber? Anyway here are the top ten most viewed Youtube videos:

1. Charlie bit my finger – again (192 million views) The cute quotient is undeniably vey high here; two adorable little brothers playing; one biting the other’s finger playfully, the other thinking it’s funny. For a while. Before “It really hurts!”
2. Evolution of Dance (143 million views) This one is such a classic, most of us have watched it at some point. Starting with Elvis Presley, this one is a medley of all the most popular tracks ever made!
3. Pitbull – I know you want me (121 million views) Rapper Pitbull’s track is foot tapping and hugely enjoyable. The video is average IMHO in spite of the voluptuous women; not really spectacular.
4. Laughing baby Hahaha (120 million views) Those of us who are parents have done this; enjoyed baby’s belly laugh by making silly sounds. A timeless classic; heartwarmingly adorable!
5. Miley Cyrus – Party in the USA (120 million views)
6. Miley Cyrus 7 Things music video (119 million views) I have to admit that I really don’t get how this kid is so hugely popular. Both tracks are nice, foot tapping and about girl power and everything, but 120 and 119 million views? “Whatever”, as they say…
7. Achmed the dead terrorist (112 million views) Jeff Dunham and his skeleton ventriloquist dummy, the non-terrifying terrorist-with-a turban are hilarious. Take the 10 minutes and watch this one if you haven’t
8. Lo que tu queiras oir (100 million views) I don’t know Spanish so I have no idea what this one is about but apparently it translates to Whatever You Want To Hear and is a Spanish language short drama by Guillermo Zapata. According to Wikipedia there is “Sofia”, who returns home to find a voicemail from her husband, “Miguel”, announcing that he has left her. Sofia is initially depressed, but decides to remix the voice-mail so that it sounds like Miguel telling her that he loves her and that he is sorry for leaving her and asking for forgiveness. Sofia then tells the remixed-voicemail that she will not take Miguel back
9. Susan Boyle (93 million views) This one is a classic about the plain Jane with an abiding talent made popular by reality shows and the youtube generation
10. Timbaland – Apologise (81 million views) Nice enough, albeit not a vastly original track, evidently famous enough for 81 million views!
