You're welcome! I liked the Palmer cover but did not find it particularly awe-inspiring (perhaps I've seen too many Radiohead covers like that). Thanks for the Gallifrey link, not only did I discover a beautiful piece of cinema music, but now am tempted to watch Doctor Who... (wait, should I really be thanking you for that? )

Thanks for the quality

I might have one or two others for your playlist, although I'm a little concerned that you might think they belong in "covers that hurt your ears", or covers that scream "what were they thinking!!!"?

This is truly beautiful. Double props for reinterpreting one of the most covered/remixed songs in recent music history and being so awesome at it.

The quality of this video has given me an idea for a playlist: http://videosift.com/playlists/hpqp/Awe-inspiring-covers

Thanks and thanks! Also, I am definitely still a newbie to most of the Sift tools

As silver stars, we can add a thumbnail to any video which doesn't have one using the "update thumbnail" link above the embed. findthumb can help, since if it fails it can remove the thumb and let us add the thumbnail as above.

For our own videos, we can update the thumbnail of any embed using the modify video link... but for this one, your best bet is to put the link in a comment to bb2 with a "hey, please take my excellent thumbnail image for your video" note.

Of course, as a fellow newbie(edit, I take that back, you've been around a while even if you've only had a star for a short time), my understanding is probably only slightly ahead of yours.

Also, congrats on the silver

edit: bummer, I still don't get how the thumbing works

It is indeed. It's a pity that some very sound advice (especially the first scenario) is drowned in sexist fear-mongering.

Thanks! I fixed it but it went to dead pool anyways. It's a pretty interesting video though isn't it?

Here's a fix for the girls beware vid (uploaded it myself )

edit: ...and apparently did so for no reason, since it was still on youtube (but managed to evade my searches!):
