The Remix Video

A trend that has become popular on YouTube in the past few years is that of the remix video. A remix video takes fragments of a popular video or audio meme, and sets them to music, usually a techno beat. Remix videos usually appear with surprising speed after the initial video has become popular, the following two remix videos appeared in a matter of days after the original videos surfaced.



In this video from the early 90s, a young(er) Bill O'Reilly (then on Inside Edition) expresses his displeasure with the studio's teleprompter.



The amazing remix followup. I think it's pretty catchy.



This video is very long, the most amusing parts occur near the end. I'm a big fan of randomly taped crazy people; however, this one is not my favorite.



The resulting remix video. It is really good, but we must consider the fact that the source material lent itself to a musical endeavor.
