I wanted to show you this video for 2 reasons.

Reason #1: It's awesome! This song and video are great and I can't stop watching it.

Reason #2: These is a mainstream video based all on YouTube references. All of the people in this video are "YouTube stars." I wanted to show you this to make you aware of a culture and a world that is very likely going on without your knowledge. How many of the references in this video do you know?

As a marketer you need to be aware of all that is going on in the pop culture. I highly encourage you to spend some time surfing around YouTube. It's going to make you a better marketer. And I guarantee you are going to have fun doing it.

YouTube is a crazy, bizarre, fun world.
