First find the video you are after on YouTube (Something by Decemberists should do), and find the Share/Sharing button…
Then copy the sharing URL that they present you with.
Then simply paste that URL into the editor. No need to create a link to the video. Infact, if you create a link it will cause the forum display to corrupt (it’s on His papship’s to do list).
You know that cover of “Somewhere” by Tom Waits horrifies some non-musical types, like my sister-in-law. She’s the type who rarely buys or listens to music but claims to love Opera and Classical Music but in fact couldn’t name you anything but Nessum Dorma and a couple of tunes from Les Miserables.
I played that version by Tom Waits and of course she was mortally offended by it. It’s a fucking brilliant rendition, a heartfelt, moving version that will be realised as such but the true music lover…
I rather enjoyed that, Balti Stench. Obviously it would have to go a very long way to match the original by Little Marti and his Wet Boys*, but it wasn’t bad at all.
* Fear not, I do know that it’s originally by Reg and the boys - Swindon’s finest.
