https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vum5Dex9esA definitely not the first video i ever watched on YouTube, but it's one of the first ones i can remember. my friends and i were obsessed with singing this in the back of their mom's van during elementary school, and i found a paper in one of my old school folders where i had written out the lyrics so we could remember them. to this day, i am still chasing the feeling that the friends making this video must have had. CORE MEMORY !!
idk why but whenever i need a moment i watch this video. i find music history fascinating and i love how the creator included pictures from the time period in it. it does depict racism and disasters and the less savory parts of history so if youre sensitive to that stuff i wouldn't watch. its a 20m watch and it ends in 2013 but i highly recommend giving it a watch
