Your esoteric YouTube searches

You know what I mean, like when you're waiting with your laptop at an airport or at home when everyone else is asleep and you're bored, and you get a wild hair to do an unusual YouTube search, like these by me.

'Before They Make Me Run' cover

I love this video.

 

Ganghim; my kids made me do it. Hard to fathom that a Korean video is the most watched of all time.

Old commercials. From the '60s and beyond:

This is a good intro video:
