  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

They Might Be Giants - Why Does the Sun Shine?

I was given this as a gift, by my sisters husband back when he was still the older boyfriend that my parents didn't like, and I played it for my 4th grade class during show and tell... those bastards jeered, and I think I like it even more today.

And who's laughing now? They probably regret not jumping on that bandwagon.

I love that they're still around...it was the first (and best) geek music. These guys and The Violent Femmes changed my perspective on music. Back then I had never heard "fun" music before.

And I'll admit it...I learned my facts about the Sun from this song.

Oh, Yoshimi.
