YouTube Killed the MTV Star

On the 25th anniversary of MTV, we paused to ask ourselves, does anyone care? But then we checked out some of the nominees for the Video Music Awards and we decided, maybe. Luckily, YouTube is here to help us interpret those nominations:

Black Eyed Peas, “My Humps”

Kayne West featuring Jamie Foxx, “Gold Digger”

Madonna, “Hung Up”

And one that’s an inspired take, Gnarls Barkley, “Crazy”, but this is one time you can’t improve on the original.

(We know, you did not want that Buggles reference in the headline. But it’s Friday.)

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
