That would have been better than the current soundtrack.

It started with Money for Nothin’ (I want my MTV) and then there was Free Fallin’ followed up by Burning Down the House. The way they timed the lyrics to the story was fantastic. Allegedly the record label forced You Tube to take it down, it was reposted with a fair use statement but was taken down again. An attorney commented that since there was no money made from the video that legally it was fair use but You Tube took it down anyway.

It’s a shame the original version of this video was pulled by YouTube. This one is still effective, but the original had music that was so appropriate to the topic. I believe the original had over a million hits before it was pulled.
