A grad student from Minneapolis wrote this song and made the video. He put it on Youtube, having no idea that it would get over 800,800,000 views. He was featured on the Jimmy Kimmel show as the Summers's featured Internet Star. You could find that video in links next to the one that I'm posting.

i really hate that song so much.. and its annoying how he moves in the video also
and why is the video all yellowish...
i can see why some of you might not like it, but i actually think it was a good piece. i guess some people lost the message he was putting across, and if you don't get the message then you don't get the song.
the yellow glow is common for homemade videos (even still images) if the lighting in or color of the room isn't great. i get it a lot when im taking photos indoors in a weird lighting and don't have anything to fix it.
i also applaud him for getting that all in one take. i know how hard it is to do things like that without cutting at some point and editing, and splicing, etc. etc. the only bad thing i could get from it was him facing off to the side, like he was reading a screen with the lyrics. if he had memorized it, it would have had a lot greater impact, because then he could have put his emotions from the song into his expressions. i liked how he just let it flow once in a while, and let himself look away from the screen, but then he went right back to it.
Nice! NYR77, use this if you like.
Just be sure to have a "www." in front of the youtube part of the url.
quick question, what does ETA stand for?
