A Long, Long Time Ago... 2008... A Year In Review

With the Summer Olympics, the stock market, Barack Obama, and $5 foot longs, it's hard to forget the year 2008. During these 8 minutes of '08, you'll see what an awesome year we've had buying tickets for The Dark Knight and eating pasta from Pizza Hut.

Nice vid, way better than JibJab's.

And by the way, did you remix the song, or is it just a cuincidence that it fits with the vid?

Nice vid 5/5

[dunisayno]

I didn't edit the song. Everything just matches it.

[RedogRules]

I thought that it pretty much summed up almost all the events in 2008 but I don't remember if it mentioned Heath Ledger although I could be wrong

[dunisayno]

Heath Ledger 1:35

[naturegirl1234]

i love secret life of an american teenager!

[Albacoreradio]

Wow Danny that was amazing!!!!!!! Every clip went with the music of the song! Wow, how did you do this? It was awesome! Great Job! I'm going to favorite it!! You better win that competition!!!!!! Wow, that was really good! How long did it take you? Great Job!

[PeaceOut2U07]

JibJab's was a very good review but it was a different genre, so it's not fair to compare them. JibJab's was just pointing out all the things that were effed up this year, strictly for laughs. (I loved it!) This was a very bittersweet look at all the funny, memorable, sometimes silly, touching moments that made this year. A good mix of commercials/SNL stuff and serious events. Good clip placement to match the lyrics, interspersed with a tribute to the dead celebs. I really liked it!

[mattisgor2008]

very nice but jibjab's Year in rewiew was better

[b07rivera]

It's kind of strange when it showed the clip where Barack Obama won the election, the song says "The King was looking down"

I believe he is acting like the a dictatorial king and looking down the American People.

[b07rivera]

Yeah this is a lot better video than the JibJab one, it has more meaning and really beautiful song from the 70s

[SpinnerMC]

Very nice tribute. I loved it

[every1changes]

wow well done?

im favouriting that!

[vampirepez]

my hopes were up so high for jibjab to try and out do the video they did for '07 and they didn't. this is a very good video and i thank you for putting this together and sharing it with all of us.

[Daniel4646]

Oh man, the cat at 3:04 ... I think that pet passion should only go so far.

In one word: gross!

[jodust75]

Well done. Every year I watch these and it never fails to amaze me how much happens in only 1 year. BTW I had no idea Tony Snow had died, and to all others who perrished this year RIP.

[HLCpromow]

Very nice I enjoyed it very much Thanks ( best song ever)
