It's cute. I liked the use of celebrities, but too bad its confusing to someone trying to learn. The only words it shows in print are spelled WRONG!!!!! INSTANTLEEEEEEE!!!!! OH NO!!!!! If its supposed to be educational, don't mess it up like that. I can't show this as a teaching tool.

@Miracle490d So I never made this as a teaching tool...I made this for fun, actually. People have just taken it and assumed it's for teaching. And I know it's "instantly." I made it like that because the song is about the letter "E" so...instantl-EEE.

The picture of the tube could have also been replaced with a picture of the YouTube logo. :D

[Greenblix]

@spyroonline175 That's a good idea...too bad I didn't think of it!

When he says tap into tape he means video tape.

[Greenblix]

@fatboy2800 Ah...well that would make sense :]

[kikuchiyoh]

Good thing he didn't use the word "pub" in the song...

[BrizyComics]

What an absolutely wonderful visual tribute to a Tom Lehrer favorite! Well done!

[ISNorden]

It's a shame you couldn't find a good celebrity pic for "a little hug becomes huge"...on another fan-tribute video of this song, I suggested a kid cuddling a small teddy bear (which becomes MUCH larger on the word "huge").

Haha! Fred and George... ^u^

@Greenblix : I'm italian, what means "glob"? I can't understand...

[TheAllbis]

But my friend sam, stayed just the Saame! Curse you for this horribly brilliant song that is stopping my revising!

[Miracle490d]

@Greenblix That's cool. I haven't checked on this or heard the video in 7mos., but I think I meant the explanation points and OH NO as a laughing shake your head OH NO or I wouldn't have said it was cute. I was never angry. A few seem to think my comment was horrid. I guess this is an example of writing without tone not translating so well. I thought it was obvious when I wrote it. But instantl-EEE isn't exactly a SILENT E, is it? LOL Maybe you left out silent E. Like I said, havent seen in 7.

[Miracle490d]

@weeknieunknowing I said it was cute, didn't I? Who's blaming anyone? I hadn't checked on this or heard it in a long while. I just said too bad because it couldn't be used to teach. And who said I had the song or anything to make a vid? Take a chill pill. LOL

[weeknieunknowing]

@Miracle490d it's just sad that you have to blame greenblix for something he didn't even intend to do.

You've got the song, make your own vid then

@fatboy2800

Considering when "Silent E" originally came out, I wonder if "Who can turn a tap into a tape" wasn't a veiled reference to Nixon?

This will be good for my cuzs when they learn about silent letters
