Just copy the YouTube clip url and paste it into the reply pane SoG…you don’t need to click on any of the tools at the top of the reply pane.
Thanks but I have tried that and it doesnt work for me for some reason.
Looking at what you’ve posted, I don’t think it’s the URL that you’ve copied, as it’s just a link to the youtube HTML5 video player. What kind of device and what browser are you using?
I can’t believe I’m doing this - trying to help you get a Yes song posted on here, in spite of the fact that I’d sooner boil my own head than listen to a song by Yes.
OK SoG. Try this…
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).
And this is the result

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…
Let’s here it again.
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.

Time for another bump. Here’s Frank and his boys (notably Jean-Luc Ponty), reinterpreting Little Richard
